Yes, affirmations and mantras are the same. An affirmation is a statement that affirms or supports something. A mantra is a word, phrase, or sound that is repeated often, typically as a form of meditation. Both affirmations and mantras can be used to support and encourage positive thinking.

Affirmations are usually short, simple phrases that are easy to remember and repeat. They can be about anything that you want to encourage in your life, such as “I am healthy and happy” or “I am successful and prosperous”. Mantras are usually longer, more complex phrases or sounds that are repeated over and over again. They can also be about anything that you want to encourage in your life, but they are often used to promote specific goals or states of mind, such as “I am open to abundance” or “I am surrounded by love”.

Both affirmations and mantras can be effective tools for promoting positive thinking. However, there are some key differences between the two. Affirmations are typically said aloud, while mantras are usually repeated silently. Affirmations are also usually said in the present tense, while mantras can be said in any tense. Additionally, mantras are often repeated multiple times, while affirmations are usually only said once.
