The cutest mama and baby duo and affirmations

In a video that Ntando posted on Twitter this week, she is seen with her adorable daughter Sbahle doing affirmations. 

Watch the video below: 

The Oxford Dictionary describes affirmations as words of emotional support or encouragement. The idea with affirmations is that they help create positive powerful expressions that when you say, think, or even hear them they become thoughts that create reality. 

Most people start off their day with these affirmations in front of a mirror, the affirmations are often repeated. Many mindfulness experts say the following: The words composing the affirmation, automatically and involuntarily, bring up related mental images into the mind, which inspire, energize and motivate. The affirmations and the resultant mental images get engraved on the subconscious mind, which in turn, changes the behavior, habits, actions, and reactions according to the repeated words.

There are skeptics out there though who do not believe in affirmations and think that they are a waste of time. Ntando Duma received a lot of love after she posted the video with her daughter, with many women commenting that if they had been taught affirmations when they were younger, their self esteem would be much higher.
