Frequently asked

Do positive thinking affirmations really work?
Research on self-affirmation (Cohen & Sherman, 2014) shows that consistent, values-based self-talk reduces stress reactivity and improves follow-through. Healio's positive thinking affirmations are written with somatic, CBT and self-compassion frames rather than generic positivity — which is what actually rewires the pattern.
How often should I repeat positive thinking affirmations?
Twice daily for 8–12 weeks is the practice most people notice change from. Healio schedules them for you with spaced repetition so you don't have to remember.
Where can I listen to positive thinking affirmations?
Free on iOS in the Healio app — soft audio, reminders, and a full library of 400+ affirmations across positive thinking and related themes.
