The Science Behind These Affirmations

A 2019 study from the University of California showed that reducing self-criticism through affirmations unlocked creative problem-solving abilities that were previously suppressed.

How to Use These Affirmations

Repeat your creativity affirmations before any creative session — writing, painting, brainstorming, or problem-solving. Keep them near your creative workspace. When you feel blocked, step away, repeat an affirmation 5 times, and return with fresh eyes.
