My story

Since I was a kid, I have liked writing affirmations to help me envision what I wanted. If I felt scared, I would write one about being strong. If I were judgmental, I would write one about being more compassionate. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't help me. But it didn't hurt to try. I like to read them on most days to remind me of what I want to bring to my life. As a result, they helped me stay positive each day. Try a few affirmations and see how you feel after a month of consistently reminding yourself. Let's start.

I will take a deep breath every time I feel stressed in a situation.

This affirmation reminds me to stop and take a breather. To step back from the situation and look above it to see more clearly.

I know it will be better if I have a bad day.

The following affirmation reminds me that every day will not be a bad day. Each day is unique, and I choose to view it that way.

I have learned a lot from the difficulties in my life, and I am a stronger person because of them.

This one reflects on my experiences and what I have done and accomplished. I worked through it, and so will I work through it again.

I will smile more to everyone and anyone.

The next affirmation is to remember that not everyone is coming to get me. The vast majority of people are good and I choose to believe the people I encounter will be good too.

I can create my own opportunities in my career.

This one is a visual affirmation. It helps you remember that if you allow new opportunities to come forward, they will.

I am brave and will move past my limitations and learn something new.

The following affirmation is about how I am brave, and so are you, and we will move past our limitations and be willing to do something new. If you are a small business owner, you can relate to this every single day.

Each day, I will laugh wholeheartedly.

Laughing can help you escape the seriousness of the situation you're in. Keep those smiles and laughter going.

Just wait! Here are some more inspiring quotes (affiliate)!

I will remember how extraordinary my life is.

Remembering where you came from is so important. You can accomplish anything. Remember you are extraordinary.

I will do a kind and unconditional task for a person today.

The following affirmation reminds us to be kind and unconditional with others, even strangers, we encounter.

I will face whatever comes today with a positive attitude.

And, the following affirmation is that positivity is essential in our lives. With so many negative things around us, remember that looking at things through brighter lenses can open up opportunities for change.

Update 2025: More Affirmations to help you change your life.

I wanted to add more affirmations (affiliate) to help you make a positive change in your year. Below are some other ones that may resonate with you.

I will pause and appreciate three small moments that made me smile today.

Some days feel like they rush by without us noticing the good stuff. I started doing this last year when everything felt overwhelming - just stopping to see when my tea tasted extra good, or when someone held the door open, or when I heard a song that made me happy. It doesn't take long, but it changes the whole day's feeling.

I am learning to be patient with myself as I grow.

This one hit different for me. I used to get so frustrated when I wasn't immediately good at something new or when I made the same mistake twice. However, growth isn't linear, and being overly critical of ourselves doesn't accelerate the process.

I choose progress over perfection in everything I do today.

Perfect is exhausting. Perfection keeps us stuck. I learned this the hard way when I spent years not starting projects because I was afraid they wouldn't be perfect. Now I remind myself that 'done' is better than 'perfect,' and that small steps forward are still steps forward.

I trust that I have everything within me to handle today's challenges.

When I feel that knot in my stomach about something difficult coming up, I try to remember all the hard things I've done and succeeded at. We're stronger and more resourceful than we give ourselves credit for. This affirmation helps me remember that I don't need to have all the answers right now; I just need to trust myself to figure it out.

I will speak to myself with the same kindness I show my best friend.

This one stopped me in my tracks when I first heard it. Would I ever talk to my best friend the way I sometimes talk to myself? Not a chance. We deserve the same compassion we freely give to others. It's taken practice, but catching myself being harsh and saying, "Would I say this to my best friend?" has been a game-changer.

I am allowed to change my mind and choose a different path.

Permission to pivot! Looking back on my life, I realized that when I made a pivot, it was always the brave thing to do at that moment. Sometimes we outgrow our old dreams, and that's okay. This affirmation reminds me that flexibility is a sign of strength, not weakness.

I celebrate my Small Wins just as enthusiastically as my Big Wins.

We're so quick to brush off the small victories and wait for the big moments to celebrate. But life is made up of small moments, and they deserve recognition too. Finished that work project? Celebrated. Choose the salad when you want fries? That counts too! These small acknowledgments add up to significant changes in how we perceive ourselves.

I will trust the timing of my life, even when it doesn't match my plans.

This is one of the hardest ones for me because I love having a plan. But some of my best experiences have come from unexpected changes in timing. The job that fell through led to a better opportunity. The delay put me exactly where I needed to be. Trusting the timing doesn't mean being passive - it means staying open to possibilities we hadn't considered.

I am worthy of rest without having to earn it.

Our culture makes us feel like we need to justify taking breaks, but rest isn't something we earn through exhaustion. Rest is a basic human need, just like food and water. This affirmation helps me remember that taking care of myself isn't selfish - it's necessary.

Tips on how to use these affirmations:

Below are some additional tips to consider when using these affirmations (affiliate).

When using affirmations (affiliate), they can change over time. So, each year, I like to revisit and revise my affirmation list to align these sentences with my new year goals.

Pick one or two that resonates with you. These affirmations work best when you select the ones that resonate with you at this moment. I like to write them on sticky notes (affiliate) or set them as phone reminders so I see them throughout the day.

Try picking one or two that resonate with you and recite them each day for at least a month or two. Examine how you feel at the end of this period. Did it help you feel more comfortable about your life? Pondering and examining how you think will give you insight into whether that positive thought has helped you. If it did, keep using it. If it didn't work for you, try a different one and see if that helps.

I hope this process of creating affirmation quotes (affiliate) will help you become even better, even though you are already great. Please let me know how you're doing and if it improves your year.
