Do you believe that they work?

    For me? Sometimes they do. They work sometimes to break a cycle of negative thinking.
    Positive affirmations are also a way to shut out negative words/thoughts another person has stuck in my head.
    Sometimes they do nothing for me...especially when I'm feeling very depressed.

    On a side note I think it helps to "want" to feel better...

    They work for me :)

    Today, as I was walking to work - I kept saying "Your attitude determines your altitude!"

    Another favorite of mine is from everyone's favorite fish "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...."

    Anything that keeps me positive is a good thing :)

    Thank you, both of you. I think I will start with "I am stronger and healthier every day".

    How many times a day should we say this?

    I think the positive affirmation you've chosen is perfect.I'd say it as many times as it takes to make you feel better. Then again later anytime you need a boost :)

    Keep doing what your doing! You'll thank yourself later for all the hard work!
