The subject of this invention is embodied in a piece of edible paper that has an affirmation written on it (an “edible affirmation”). This edible affirmation can be used as a tool for self-improvement. In general, an edible affirmation provides a way to partake a word or phrase for the purpose of enhancing the mind, body, and spirit. The user can practice being an expression of the affirmation through focused attention and/or meditation as the edible affirmation dissolves in the mouth and continues for a time thereafter.
