New to self-affirmation? That’s okay! I will break down everything you need to know about daily affirmations and adding affirmations into your daily self care routine.
From increasing confidence to reaching your goals, reciting affirmations is a powerful tool in your self care arsenal.
What are self-affirmations?
Simply put, daily affirmations are just positive sentences you say to yourself. And the best part is that they are really easy to incorporate into your daily life.
Essentially, choose a phrase from this list that resonates with you, or create your own. Then take a few deep breaths and repeat this phrase to yourself 3-5 times daily.
It helps to stand in front of the mirror while you say your chosen phrase and look yourself in the eye as you repeat it. You’ll probably feel awkward or silly at first, but once you do this for a few days it will feel more natural.
You can also write out your chosen affirmation in your journal or on a sticky note to put somewhere you will see it often, like your bathroom mirror.
How do you know which affirmation to choose?
This list of affirmations is going to give you 35 choices to embrace the power of gratitude in your life – but how do you know which one to choose?

I recommend thinking about what your personal goals are and where you could use a little bit of self improvement or extra self love. Use those goals and self reflection as a guide to choose the right affirmation for you.
