25 Positive Daily Affirmations

Self-love has many different forms and in the same way that you nourish your body with delicious food or a nature walk, you can nurture your mind with loving and positive thoughts. Because how you speak to yourself matters and shapes the way you see yourself and the world around.

It all starts by paying more attention to your inner dialogue during the day. What’s your first thought when you wake up? What’s going through your mind when you’re looking in the mirror, exercising, working on a project, dealing with a challenging situation or talking to your coworker?

It’s so easy to slip into the ‘I can’t…, I won’t be able to…, I could never do…, I don’t have the skills to…' narrative without even noticing it at all.

Re-writing the story doesn’t happen overnight but it’s possible. Moment by moment. Thought by thought. And this is where positive affirmations come into play. The thoughts we think a lot become our beliefs. And those beliefs then shape our reality. This means that YOU have the power to change YOUR STORY by what you’re choosing to fill your mind with. Think about that for a moment! That’s some really powerful stuff.

Positive affirmations are words or phrases that can be used to shift the often subconscious patterns and replace them with more adaptive narratives. They’re super helpful whenever you find yourself getting caught up in negative self-talk, dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, navigating stress, anxiety, heartbreak, self-doubt or loss of hope. And let’s be honest, that’s more often than we realize.

You can write your favourite positive affirmations on sticky notes and put them by your desk or on a mirror, you can set them up as a wallpaper on your phone, write them in your journal, use them during your meditation or simply repeat them in your mind throughout the day. Whatever form you decide to use, the affirmation(s) will be there to give you support, daily encouragement, a boost of self-love, confidence or energy.

My favourite way to connect with my affirmations is in a seated position, with my eyes closed, one hand on my heart the other on my belly. I breathe in what I’d like to affirm and breathe out what no longer serves me.
