Welcome to the world of positive affirmations!

Before I show you ten positive affirmations for women in love and relationships, I want to give some background.

The positive affirmations below are specially-designed IAM affirmations that occupy an interesting space at the intersection of science and manifestation, where the IAM Method program exists.

Traditional manifestation techniques often fall short, relying solely on positive thinking without addressing deeper psychological factors. The IAM Method is different:

• It bridges the gap between science and spirituality

• It is grounded in neuroscience and performance psychology

• It offers practical tools, not just feel-good platitudes

The positive affirmations for women below are based on psychological principles to be more effective. My students, members, and clients are taught how to create their own affirmations which share the best of both worlds. 

Here's why these IAM Affirmations work:

• These affirmations share some similarities with CBT techniques, which have strong scientific support. CBT focuses on changing thought patterns to influence emotions and behaviors.

• Some neuroscientists suggest that repeating affirmations might help create new neural pathways, potentially reshaping thought patterns over time. These positive affirmations for women can be incredibly effective for helping build a solid self-construct with self-esteem and confidence in the long term.

• Psychologist Albert Bandura's work on self-efficacy suggests that belief in one's abilities can influence outcomes, which aligns with some manifesting principles. Belief can have real physiological effects, and these affirmations capitalize on that. 

• My work and the IAM Method emphasizes mind, body, and spirit interconnectedness, with thoughts influencing overall well-being.

But if you're reading this, don't worry, you don't have to sign up for anything to start reaping the benefits. These affirmations are standalone, meaning you don't have to purchase or read anything else for them to be effective.

This list below is designed to be specific, personally meaningful, and based on proven psychological principles. They focus on self-worth, personal growth, and healthy relationship dynamics rather than unrealistic or overly general statements. 

So now that we got that out of the way, here are ten affirmations for anyone seeking to improve aspects of life involving love and relationships:
