Frequently asked
- Do short positive affirmations 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 short positive affirmations 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 short positive affirmations 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 short positive affirmations affirmations?
- Free on iOS in the Healio app — soft audio, reminders, and a full library of 400+ affirmations across short positive affirmations and related themes.
