What are positive affirmations?
Affirmations are simple statements that you repeat to yourself in order to cultivate a different mindset, in this case, a positive one. These affirmations are designed to challenge and replace limiting beliefs with empowering thoughts and beliefs. They can be simple phrases or mantras that reflect your aspirations, values, and strengths. By adding reinforcing positive messages into your daily routine, you are reshaping your perception of yourself and the world around you, ultimately guiding you towards greater confidence.
Ways to add positive affirmations to your daily routine:
- Start your day with them: Before doing anything else, grab your affirmations and start your day with a bang.
- Use sticky notes: Place them where you’ll see them frequently, such as on your bathroom mirror, workstation, or refrigerator.
- Use them during meditation: Repeat them silently as you focus on your breath or a calming visualization.
- Fight negative-talk: Use affirmations to counteract negative self-talk and self-doubt whenever they arise, replacing them with positive and uplifting messages.

The benefits of positive affirmations.
Have you ever heard of the saying “it doesn’t hurt to try”? Well, what do you have to lose? When I first starting using positive affirmations, I felt silly. It’s not normal to look at yourself in the mirror and say nice things, we are usually our worst critics. But since then, I’ve seen major changes in my mindset and so can you!
A change in mindset.
Affirmations help you reframe your thoughts from negative to positive. Consciously choosing uplifting words and phrases helps train your minds to focus on the good rather than the bad. Life can be so different if you tend to see the good in everything rather than the bad. Not just in life, but in yourself too. We can be our own worst bullies and it’s wrong. By adding your positive affirmations into your daily routine, it helps you stay focused on who you are and where you’re going.
Self-confidence booster.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and told yourself you look good today? When you walk away, you feel good about yourself and ready for whatever you’re going to take on. If we have the power to make ourselves feel that good, why don’t we do it more often? When you repeatedly affirm your worth, capabilities, and potential, you internalize those beliefs, leading to greater self-assurance and a more positive self-image. Who better to be your biggest supporter than you.
Reduced stress and anxiety.
Consciously choosing uplifting words and phrases, redirects your focus from worry and negativity to hope and possibility. As you repeat affirmations that promote calmness, inner peace, and resilience, youn signal your mind and body that you are safe and capable of overcoming any challenges that come your way. Being consumed by negativity is never a good thing and allowing yourself to focus on something good instead can do wonders in your life.
Allows space for positive opportunities in your life.
The law of attraction suggests that like attracts like, meaning that your thoughts and beliefs shape your reality. When you keep affirming positive outcomes and possibilities, you signal to the universe your intentions, thereby attracting more opportunities and experiences aligned with your desires. I always say “the energy you put out is the energy you attract” and it couldn’t be more true. You need to strive, visualize, affirm and attract the life you want and take nothing less than that.
Affirmations you can try and customize.
The best way to use affirmations is to make them unique to yourself and your goals. If you feel at a loss of inspiration take a look at these affirmations, work them into your daily routine and start reaping the benefits of positive affrimations in your life.
