Positive Affirmations

Sometimes, we are our own greatest obstacle. Negative thoughts can stand in the way of our goals. When you’re feeling discouraged, try to practice positive affirmations. These are messages that oppose a negative thought or belief. Rather than let it bring you down, challenge it with a positive affirmation. Studies show that positive affirmations have a beneficial effect on our confidence, stress levels, and work performance. Here are a few that you can use to boost your mood:

I forgive those who have harmed me in my past and peacefully detach from them.

Negative experiences can make it hard to let go of negative thoughts. Even though our future is always changing, the past seems to hold on to us and can threaten or slow down our progress. Free yourself from it to move forward.

I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness.

The choices we make at the start of our days can change how we perceive ourselves, others, and events. If we view the world with a negative lens, the circumstances of our day will unfold according to that perspective. Why not choose happiness instead?

Everything will be okay.

This is one of those phrases that you just need to hear some days. Many of us have faced a lot of adversity this year. This affirmation is meant to reassure you that things will work out.

Today, I abandon my old habits and take up new, more positive ones.

At times, we feel bound by our self-destructive tendencies. You can change them one day at a time. Start by reminding yourself that self-improvement is a conscious choice.

I am powerful.

When life brings you down, remember that you can change your circumstances. You have power; try not to let insecurities stand in the way of that truth.

I forgive myself for my mistakes.

Along with those who have wronged us, we also need to forgive ourselves to find peace. To move forward and make strides toward our goals, we need to show kindness toward ourselves. Let go of your past mistakes so that you can focus your energy on accomplishing new things.

I matter.

Anyone who makes you feel insignificant is wrong. Your feelings are important, and you deserve respect. Repeat these two words to yourself and take deep breaths when something or someone is bringing you down.

I take comfort in the fact that I can always leave this situation.

When you feel stuck or trapped, remember that there is always an out. You are not obligated to remain in a relationship, job, or living situation that makes you uncomfortable. You have the power to free yourself and reclaim your happiness.

I release my mind of thought until the morning.

At night, our thoughts can run rampant with scenarios, worries, and fears. This can make it hard for us to sleep. Give yourself permission to be mindless at night and save your concerns for the following day. Tell yourself that all you need to do now is sleep.

I am enough.

The simplest mantras can be the most effective. A reminder that you are enough, just as you are, can change the way you go about your day. You have value and you are enough.
