40 Affirmations for Daily Life

Our thoughts can be more than just a passing commentary on the things that happen in our daily lives. Thoughts have a lot of power and can profoundly impact our mindset. Positive thoughts can improve your mindset, making you happier, healthier and more successful. Negative thoughts can hold you back, keep you stuck and prevent you from achieving your goals.

Speaking positively to yourself and being conscious of your thoughts can have a significant effect on your life. The use of positive affirmations has been proven to improve confidence. When used regularly, affirmations can be a powerful way to keep positive no matter what obstacles you may be facing.

What are Affirmations?

Simply put, affirmations are positive declarations that help you challenge negative thoughts, blocks and stories that hold you back. Affirmations become effective when repeated often. When they are genuinely believed and said with conviction, affirmations allow you to begin to make the positive changes that you want in your life. Just like working out at the gym, repeating affirmations strengthens the “positivity muscle” in your brain and can literally change the way you feel.

Although the power of positive affirmations can help reduce stress and allow you to perform better at work and in your personal relationships, there are plenty of other internal benefits that you may experience. Some of the benefits of affirmations include:

• Higher confidence and self-esteem
• Increased ability to control negative emotions
• Perseverance in the face of obstacles
• Improved levels of productivity
• Higher levels of motivation
