Say Your Affirmations Often

The words you speak to yourself hold immense power. Affirmations—positive statements you repeat to build belief in your self—are a simple yet transformative tool. They can help you reframe negative thoughts, build confidence, and maintain focus. 

To begin, think about some areas that you need to build up. Whether it’s your self image, your mood, or your motivation, create personal and positive affirmations that will support what you want to improve. 

Here are a few examples:

• I am worthy.

• There is no limit to what I can and will achieve.

• I deserve to feel happy, healthy, and fulfilled.

Consistency is the key to making affirmations effective. Repeat them daily and often — you can set the tone for your day in the morning, during moments of doubt to regain focus, or at night to seal your day with positivity. You can say them aloud and write them in a journal.  Or both. It is especially helpful to put your affirmations where you can see them often, like on your mirror or as a screensaver. This will reinforce them when you are not saying them as part of your daily routines.

You might feel awkward when you begin doing this, especially if you’re working to overcome self-doubt. That’s okay. Give it some time. You can change and improve your mindset, so you believe in yourself and gain a positive outlook.

Visualize your future and say your affirmations to add even more power to your intentions. Close your eyes and imagine yourself living your dreams—feeling confident, achieving your goals, and thriving. This helps your brain see what is possible.  Your brain believes your thoughts so it will eventually recognize and expect successful results.

Affirmations are a reminder that you are worthy of everything you desire. Let them be your anchor. Speak them with intention, and watch as they help you become your best self so you can live a life that brings you joy and fulfillment.
