Positive Affirmations To Kick Start Your Day

I used the think positive affirmations were kind of “woo-woo” and I didn’t quite believe they would work. Until I started using them! I now write affirmations regularly as part of my morning pages and they truly can change your life. If you’re not sure what affirmations are, they are basically positive statements which you repeat to yourself in a way to support your success.  They can help you to develop a more positive perception of yourself and your life. The repetition of positive affirmations will keep you motivated and focused on your goals. They can influence the way you think and behave. Think about what you tell yourself on a regular basis, is it mainly positive or negative? Affirmations can change obstructive behaviour and habits. They can help undo the damage caused by negative statements which we have we repeatedly heard or told ourselves in the past.

When should you use positive affirmations?

Affirmations can be used in two ways. The first is to speak the affirmations aloud to yourself, ideally in a mirror, for example when you are doing your make-up or shaving. The second way is to write the affirmations down several times in a journal. Overtime you may notice that you’re speaking the affirmation louder and with more confidence. If you’ve chosen to use your journal, you may notice that you’re writing the affirmation in a different writing style. This could be a clue as to how your mind is starting to believe the concept and develop a more positive perception.

Below I have listed 100 positive affirmations. Broken down into five categories to help you find the ones which work best for you!
