Why Affirmations?

Why Affirmations?

We've all had days where our inner voice becomes our worst critic. The constant noise, perfectionism, and pressure tell us we're not enough.

I lived in that noise for a long time. Then I discovered that while we can't control the world around us, we can absolutely change the soundtrack playing inside us.

Affirmations aren't about fake positivity. They're about intentional redirection. Most of us already use "affirmations" daily—negative ones like "I'm so behind" or "I'm not ready." When we say "I AM," we're choosing to plant a better seed in our subconscious.

The Science: Our brains are literal. When we repeat a thought, we strengthen a neural pathway. Affirmations help us rewire our stress response—moving from reaction to groundedness.

Why I Started This

I created I AM Affirmations to build a space for the "Quiet Revolution." I even make my own music because when you combine powerful statements with the right frequency, something shifts.

We're here to:

  • Reclaim mental space from digital overload

  • Replace perfectionism with self-compassion

  • Cultivate resilience and inner peace

Affirmations are a tool for the brave. It takes courage to face a difficult day and say, "I am capable of navigating this with grace."

I'm glad you're here. Let's change the narrative together.

About the Author:

Araceli Lemus-Carrera | BlogAuthor

Being myself is all I can be. I’ve spent the years since my bipolar diagnosis at twenty-one navigating the intersection of mental health advocacy and yoga. It started as a way to cope; it became a philosophical obsession with understanding exactly why I am the way I am.

I’m a firm believer in using music and my own lived experience to talk openly about mental health and self-care.

When I’m not at a concert or on my yoga mat, I’m grounded by a house full of life: my two Ragdoll cats (Tita and Doja) , my pug (Pulgas) , and the neighborhood strays (Tortie, Tuxy, Simba, Smokey etc.). I make sure are fed. I find beauty in almost everything.

I wanted to to share this love of reasoning even though I am aware that with a mental health disorder like mine, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason. If there is anything I want for my audience to get out of my podcast or blog is that anyone has the possibility to become the absolute best version of themselves by speaking it into existence.
