Words hold immense power, and the way we speak to ourselves can shape our thoughts, behaviors, and overall mindset. This is where affirmations come in—by repeating positive phrases to yourself, you can boost your self-esteem, reduce stress, foster a more optimistic outlook, motivate yourself to take action, and improve your overall well-being.
How to Start Using Affirmations
To harness the benefits of affirmations, start by selecting phrases that resonate with your needs. Here are 10 affirmations to consider:
- I deserve to be happy.
- I’m strong enough to get through this.
- My body is beautiful.
- I trust myself.
- I’m going to be alright.
- I can do whatever I put my mind to.
- I’m proud of myself.
- Today is going to be a great day.
- I’m worthy of love.
- I’m at peace with the things I can’t control.
After choosing your affirmations, decide when to incorporate them into your daily routine. You might say them while getting ready in the morning, during your commute, or as part of your wind-down routine at night. Many people find that saying affirmations out loud makes them more impactful, but you can also repeat them silently if that feels more comfortable. Consistency is key—repeating affirmations daily helps your brain form new, more positive thinking patterns.
