Two years after my accident, I realized I needed to break free from a negative spiral. This search led me to discover the power of affirmations, which truly aided my concussion healing journey. By focusing on concussion healing affirmations, I was able to shift my mindset into a healing state.

Your Mind Is a Garden: What Seeds Are You Planting?

Did you know that your mind is only 10% conscious and 90% unconscious? The unconscious mind does most of the work, making it crucial to be mindful of the thoughts you “feed” to your subconscious. Nurturing healing thoughts and beliefs is essential for your recovery process.

Research by Fredrickson

Positive thinking helps us see more possibilities in the world. Fredrickson did a study where four groups of people looked at different pictures that made them feel different emotions, like negative, neutral, and positive feelings.

After this, each person had to write down things they wanted to do. The groups that felt emotions like fear or anger wrote down the fewest ideas, while those who felt happy or content wrote many more.

This shows that being positive can open up more options and opportunities in our lives.

What Are Affirmations and How Often Should You Use Them?

Affirmations are positive statements that can help you overcome negative thoughts. I recite these sentences out loud every day. Consistency is key; it’s important to practice them frequently rather than just once.

It takes time for your unconscious mind to adopt these positive thoughts and begin to believe them.

When I began using affirmations, I established a routine of repeating them every morning right after I woke up and every evening just before going to bed.

I believe that the last thoughts you contemplate before sleep can influence your slumber and the following day. If you drift off with negative thoughts, it’s likely that negativity will haunt your next day.

My Journey with Affirmations

I started using affirmations two years after my accident, during a particularly challenging phase. I felt trapped in a negative spiral that weighed me down. To combat this, I wrote down my affirmations on small cards and committed to repeating them daily.

Did the Affirmations Help Right Away?

If I claimed that the affirmations helped me immediately, I would be lying. Initially, I even began to lose faith in their effectiveness.

However, with no other options available—doctors couldn’t help me, and I was often homebound—I decided to give affirmations a real chance.

After two months of consistent practice, I began to notice a small but significant change. I felt more positive, woke up a bit happier, and regained the motivation to explore treatments again.

I started journaling my feelings before and after repeating the affirmations and observed a marked increase in my positivity.

The Power of Reflection

You might not notice an immediate difference, but if you reflect back a few months later—or even longer—you’ll likely recognize the change. Documenting your feelings is crucial, as it provides insight into your progress over time.

My Daily Concussion Healing Affirmations

Each day, I recited these concussion healing affirmations out loud:

• My body is able to heal itself

• My brain is able to heal itself

• My body is getting better every day

• I trust that everything in my life is unfolding perfectly

• I am healthy, I am healed

• I am always on the right path

• I appreciate and love my body

• I am calm and at peace

• My sleep is relaxing and refreshing

• I fall asleep easily

• My body is strong, healthy, and relaxed

• I choose to release my illness

• I let go of all negative thoughts and feelings

• I will get through this situation and come out healthier and happier

• I give myself time and permission to heal

• I know the process of healing takes time and patience
  

Feel free to try my affirmations, but remember that truly “feeling” them is essential for effectiveness. Simply reciting them without genuine emotion won’t yield results. You can adapt these affirmations to resonate more deeply with you. Be patient with yourself and allow time to aid your healing as the affirmations help rebuild your mind and body.

Embracing the Healing Process

One way or another, we all carry our burdens. Take comfort in knowing that you possess the tools to mend yourself. Small, healthy choices can make a significant difference in the long run.
