Well Hello There Gorgeous!!
Welcome to today’s blog (Stop, wait a minute…i gotta tell you…you look fabulous today!! Look at you Go!)
Let’s talk about Morning Affirmations. I’m all about practicing daily affirmations so let’s get to it…
Starting your day off with positive thoughts and intentions can make all the difference in how you feel and approach the day ahead.
One powerful way to do this is through the use of morning affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that you can reiterate to yourself to help shift your mindset and boost your mood.
By practising affirmations every morning, you can cultivate a more positive outlook on life and increase your overall sense of well-being.
If you’re new to affirmations, it can be overwhelming to decide where to start. (It’s an extremely powerful practice so I completely understand where you’re coming from.)
That’s why I’ve compiled a list of the 21 best morning affirmations to kickstart your day on a positive note.
From self-love to gratitude to abundance, these affirmations cover a gammit of topics and can be changed to suit your own individual needs and goals. By incorporating these affirmations into your morning routine, you’ll be setting yourself up for success and a more positive outlook on life.
Remember, affirmations are the most effective when they are repeated consistently over time. So, choose the affirmations that resonate with you the most and make a commitment to practice them every morning.
With a little bit of dedication and a positive mindset, you’ll be amazed at the transformation that can occur in your life.
Take a look at the list below and by all means, feel free to grab a pen and a piece of paper (or a journal) so you can write down the ones that resonate with you.
1. I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
Your past experiences do not define who you are today or who you can become in the future. By acknowledging your power to choose your own path, you can break free from the constraints of your past and create a better future for yourself. Learn from your past mistakes, focus on your strengths and talents, and create a life full of purpose and meaning. Embrace the power of choice and take control of your destiny. It’s a terrific way towards a happy life!
This is teaching and reaffirming that you are stronger than you think you are.
2. Time will help me heal.
Knowing that time will heal us is important because it can help us cope with difficult situations and give us hope for the future. It allows us to grieve, process our emotions, and focus on self-care without rushing through the healing process. This knowledge also helps us cultivate resilience and confidence in our ability to handle future challenges. Good things are coming your way, just stay the course!
Ultimately, this is teaching you that it may not happen overnight, but you will heal eventually. (Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.)
3. I am grateful for this lesson.
Being grateful for the lesson helps us to shift our perspective to see the positive aspects of challenging situations and appreciate what we have. This perspective allows us to take the knowledge we’ve gained and apply it to future situations, improving our lives and avoiding making the same mistakes again. Gratitude also has positive impacts on our mental and physical health by reducing stress and anxiety, increasing happiness and well-being, and improving relationships. This attitude of gratitude will ensure you have a good day!
This is letting you know how far you’ve come and that your feet are pointed in the right direction.
4. I can choose how I want to perceive every situation.
Choosing how you want to perceive a situation gives you the power to control your emotions, thoughts, and actions. This can lead to improved mental health, better relationships, and greater success in achieving goals.
For example, choosing to perceive negative feedback as an opportunity to learn and grow can lead to better outcomes. Developing this skill can help you navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience, leading to greater happiness, success, and fulfilment.
This affirmation is teaching you not to let negativity enter your mind. Your spiritual maturity is making you ask yourself, “What’s the lesson here?” instead of always assuming the worst. This
5. When I focus on the good, the good gets even better.
Focusing on the good can have a positive impact on your well-being and quality of life. It trains your brain to notice positive things, shifting your perspective to one of abundance and positivity. Engaging in behaviours that bring more good into your life can also lead to a positive feedback loop. In contrast, focusing on the negative aspects of life can lead to a cycle of negativity and decreased well-being ( and negative thought patterns), potentially contributing to mental health problems. Consistently thinking this way encourages you to be the best version of yourself.
Cultivating positivity through focusing on the good is important for achieving success in various aspects of life.
6. I will find 5 things to be grateful for, before bedtime tonight.
This trains your mind to always look for the good in every situation and remember those good things for recognition later on. Having a determination to have a mindset of gratitude simply sets you up for a positive day!
7. I will have an open mind and an open heart today.
Having an open heart and mind is crucial for personal growth and development. (And it’s a great way to start a new day!) It allows us to connect with others on a deeper level, appreciate diversity, and navigate difficult situations with curiosity and compassion. In today’s diverse and complex society, having an open heart and mind promotes inclusivity and tolerance, leading to a more accepting and peaceful world.
This affirmation teaches you to have empathy, compassion and understanding for the situations you may find yourself in. Maybe, being a little less (or a lot less) judgemental today.
8. Calmness washes over me with every cleansing breath I take today.
This affirmation serves as a gentle reminder during my morning meditation sessions to stay centred and serene, regardless of the challenges that may arise throughout the day. It encourages me to acknowledge and allow emotions like anger, frustration, and vexation to pass, making space for gratitude and positivity to flow freely. By embracing this affirmation, I find peace and harmony in the present moment, cultivating a deeper sense of gratitude for life’s small blessings. Additionally, using tools like the Insight Timer app for guided morning meditation sessions enhances the effectiveness of this practice.
9. I have a strong heart and a kind soul.
Having a strong heart and a kind soul is like having a superpower in the game of life. Your strong heart provides you with emotional resilience, allowing you to get through life’s ups and downs with grace and strength. It equips you with the capacity to love deeply, care for others selflessly, and handle stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions with ease.
Meanwhile, your kind soul is your compass, guiding you to treat others with compassion, respect, and understanding. It inspires you to lend a helping hand to those in need and make a positive impact in the world around you. Knowing that you possess these qualities fills your life with purpose and meaning, strengthens your connections with others, and positions you as a beacon of support and comfort for those who need it most.
This affirmation serves as a loving, gentle reminder of your inherent goodness. It reminds you to embrace your unique soul and the beautiful contributions you make to the world each day.
10. I attract good people and good things into my life.
Embracing the concept that positive energy attracts positive outcomes can profoundly influence your perception of the world, leading to a more fulfilling and joyous existence. This belief is closely tied to the law of attraction, which asserts that we draw into our lives whatever we focus on. By intentionally radiating positive energy, you can magnetize more positive people and experiences into your reality, fostering an increasingly optimistic outlook and enhancing your ability to overcome challenges. Similar to the principles of the law of attraction, the energy you emit into the Universe acts like a boomerang, returning to you with equal force.
By nurturing a positive mindset and sharing it with the world, you initiate a chain reaction that permeates every aspect of your existence, resulting in an abundance of blessings, genuine happiness, and a sense of fulfilment.
11. My uniqueness is magical.
You are one-of-a-kind, my friend, and that’s something truly magical! This affirmation reminds you that there’s no one else on this planet quite like you – and that’s your superpower! Embracing your uniqueness isn’t just empowering, it’s like unlocking a treasure trove of confidence and potential.
Think about it: your quirks, talents, and passions make you stand out from the crowd in the best possible way. Whether it’s dazzling a crowd with your public speaking skills or forging deep connections with people from all walks of life, your unique qualities are your secret weapon.
But here’s the really exciting part: embracing your uniqueness isn’t just about feeling good – it’s about finding your purpose. When you fully embrace what makes you special, you open the door to a world of opportunities that align with your values and passions. So go ahead, celebrate your uniqueness, and watch as it leads you to a life filled with meaning and fulfilment!
12. My energy is powerful and positive.
Have you ever considered the impact your vibe has on your life and those around you? This affirmation dives deep into the significance of your energy—it’s a force to be reckoned with!
Picture this: your energy is like a magnet, pulling in all the good stuff. When you’re radiating positivity, you’re setting the stage for happiness, success, and all-around greatness to enter your life.
But here’s the kicker: negative energy? Yeah, it’s a bit of a buzzkill. It attracts stress, drama, and all sorts of unwanted vibes. Luckily for you, you’ve got the power to turn things around!
By embracing your positive energy, you’re not just improving your own well-being – you’re uplifting everyone around you. Your positivity is infectious, inspiring others to aim high and chase their dreams.
So, how do you maintain that positive energy? It’s all about surrounding yourself with uplifting influences, practising gratitude daily, and making time for activities that light you up inside. Before you know it, you’ll be living your most fulfilling, meaningful life—all thanks to your powerful, positive energy!
13. I appreciate my body – with all its curves and imperfections, I am perfect.
This affirmation is about giving yourself a big ol’ high-five for being perfectly imperfect—curves, flaws and all! Loving your body isn’t just a nice thing to have—it’s absolutely crucial for your overall well-being.
Let’s get real for a second: those unrealistic beauty standards society throws at us? Total nonsense. They can mess with your head, leading to a negative self-image and a serious hit to your self-esteem. But here’s the good news: loving your body means giving those standards the boot and embracing yourself exactly as you are.
And guess what? When you show your body some serious love, amazing things happen. You begin to take better care of yourself, both physically and mentally. That means less stress, anxiety, and those pesky bouts of the blues. Plus, you get to focus on the stuff that really matters – like building kick-ass relationships, pursuing your passions, and levelling up your personal growth game.
So, let’s ditch the comparison game, shall we? Your body is a masterpiece – flaws and all. The sooner you embrace that truth, the sooner you can start living your happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling life. Because guess what? You’re perfect, just the way you are!
14. I see the value in all the small things.
In our busy daily lives, it’s really easy to overlook the small (often overlooked) things that can bring us joy and a sense of fulfilment. These small things, often considered insignificant, can include spending time in nature, savouring a good drink, or connecting with loved ones. Recognizing the value of small things can cultivate gratitude and contentment in our lives and make us more mindful, compassionate, and empathetic. Small things can also have a big impact, such as a kind word or gesture, and make life meaningful and fulfilling.
15. I am worthy of the compliments I receive.
Believing that you are worthy of compliments affects your self-esteem and self-worth, leading to feelings of confidence, motivation, and happiness. Acknowledging your own strengths and accepting compliments with gratitude and appreciation can be a powerful source of validation and encouragement. It is important to recognize your own worth and use it as a source of inspiration and motivation to build self-confidence and resilience.
I don’t know about you but honestly, I couldn’t take a compliment even if my life depended on it. It’s been an adjustment to change my deep-down in-grained feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
16. I am resilient, strong and brave.
This affirmation reminds you that you are resilient, strong, and brave enough to face any challenge head-on. People often realize their inner strength after overcoming significant challenges, acknowledging, “Jeez, I realized I’m stronger than I ever thought possible. I thought that’d kill me, but here I am!” Knowing that you possess these qualities is crucial because they empower you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Believing in your own strength encourages you to take risks and embrace new opportunities, fostering personal growth and success.
Bravery enables you to confront your fears and tackle difficult situations with confidence. Meanwhile, resilience allows you to bounce back from setbacks and navigate adversity, essential skills for overcoming life’s inevitable obstacles. Armed with these qualities, you can approach life with a positive attitude and unwavering determination, confident in your ability to overcome any life challenge that comes your way.
17. I deserve all that is good.
This affirmation is a gentle reminder for anyone struggling with self-doubt or self-criticism. Sometimes, we all need to give ourselves a little pep talk and affirm that we are worthy of goodness. Recognizing and embracing the belief that you deserve good things is crucial for nurturing self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth. This positive mindset empowers you to seize opportunities as they arise and steer clear of self-sabotaging behaviour. By embracing the notion that you deserve good things, you can establish healthy boundaries, pursue your goals, and create a more fulfilling life. Remember, it’s not about being selfish or arrogant – it’s about prioritizing self-care and self-love.
18. I can be alone with my thoughts and still be okay.
Embracing solitude and being comfortable with your thoughts is a morning ritual that signifies emotional maturity and self-awareness. It’s a simple way to foster personal growth and improve mental health. Spending time in gratitude meditation while alone can enhance self-acceptance and self-esteem, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Moreover, embracing solitude can lead to positive, loving experiences and foster positive contributions in relationships, building mutual respect and trust.
19. I move through life knowing the Universe supports me.
Recognizing the support of the Universe is crucial for cultivating a positive mindset and leading a more fulfilling life. Believing that the Universe has your back fosters optimism and confidence when facing challenges, knowing that everything is working out in your favour. This mindset promotes positive contributions in relationships, fostering compassion and understanding toward others, as everyone is supported by the same universal force. Acknowledging this support helps to alleviate anxiety and fear, trusting that the Universe is guiding you toward your highest good. Ultimately, understanding the support of the Universe leads to a deeper sense of peace, purpose, and fulfilment in your life.
20. My potential is infinite.
Realizing that your potential is infinite can profoundly impact your life. Embracing your infinite potential can spur personal growth, development, and a profound sense of purpose. Conversely, perceiving your potential as limited may result in settling for mediocrity and shying away from risks. Recognizing your infinite potential empowers you to overcome obstacles and challenges, paving the way for a more fulfilling life.
21. I like who I am and who I am becoming.
Embracing yourself and the journey of self-growth is essential as it shapes your daily routine and decisions. When you maintain a positive self-image, high self-esteem, and confidence, you confront challenges with courage. This fosters positive contributions in relationships, as people are drawn to people who exude confidence and are at ease with themselves. It’s crucial to contemplate your values, strengths, and goals and commemorate your achievements, whether they are significant or minor, to nurture a positive self-image.
Incorporating positivity and morning affirmations into your daily routine can have a major impact on your overall well-being and success. By starting every day with positive and empowering thoughts, you set the tone for the rest of your day and attract positivity and abundance into your life. Whether you choose to recite one of the 21 best morning affirmations listed in this blog or create your own, remember to approach each day with a grateful and optimistic mindset.
Can I just throw my two cents worth in here?…You need to remember that affirmations are not a one-time fix or a magic solution to all of life’s problems. It takes time and consistent effort to see their benefits. So, be patient with yourself and trust the process. Even I fall off the bandwagon every now and then and that’s okay! I just refocus and jump back on, knowing I’m still PRACTICING!!
With regular practice, you will begin to notice small positive changes in your thoughts, emotions, and overall life experience.
Start your mornings with intention, incorporating morning rituals that include gratitude meditation, using free meditation apps or embarking on a 21-day self love course to deepen your practice. As you engage in powerful practices and embrace new beginnings, cultivate a sense of positive contribution to your own life and the lives of others.
With each daily routine that includes moments to express gratitude and engage in audio sessions or valuable lessons, you invite beautiful endings and exciting beginnings into your life. Recognize the feeling of gratitude for the most loved parts of your journey and celebrate your own accomplishments.
So, as you set forth each day, may you bask in life’s beauty and the endless possibilities that each time of day brings. Start your mornings with intention, and watch as your life transforms before your eyes.
