I have a set of rosary beads, and a set of hand carved Hindu beads. Only used the Hindu beads, and only a few times. The beads are useful for counting repetitions of a mantra or a prayer.

You can easily make your own, using any beads you like, threaded on string or whatever you like, with whatever number of beads make sense to you. There should be something at the pendant position so you can feel the start/end point.

It could even be a bracelet with beads on elastic thread. You just need the start/end spot.

The more important part is having a mantra or prayer that you want to repeat a certain number of times each day.

I think the prayer beads could work with affirmations.

Thank you for bringing this up. I'm thinking about trying it with affirmations for myself.
