The Top 200 Motivation Affirmations to Practise Daily

When you wake up in the morning, what are your very first thoughts?

Is your head spinning with negativity and you're dreading the day ahead?

Or are you happy, excited or grateful?

If it's the former, then you may have started off with a wrong attitude, before the day has even begun.

Harnessing the power of the mind plays a big role in your happiness and overall success in life.

Failing to take advantage of a positive mindset will hold you back.

To lead a happier, more productive life, having the right mindset is so important.

Even better if you can start your day with happy feelings and positivity.

1. What are Self-Affirmations?

Self-affirmations are short, personal and positive self-statements or messages that we give ourselves in order to improve our self-esteem and confidence. The goal of affirmations is to help us to have a more positive mindset about life in general, be more relaxed and have a happy mind, as well as being able to cope with difficult situations.

What if you could have more confident feelings?

The practice of daily affirmations are very effective because they are reminders for us to develop a more positive attitude and outlook on life. They help us to avoid falling victim to negative thoughts or feelings of depression. When we’re in a negative mindset, it’s hard for us to make the most of our lives, because we might be thinking that things will never get any better.

2. The Benefits of Self-Affirmations

Because self-affirmations give us a sense of power, we can feel that we can do a lot with our lives; in effect, by using positive affirmations to improve ourselves, we are taking back control of our lives and our destiny. Daily affirmations allow us to use positive thoughts in order to change our future, by motivating us to get things done so we can create the kind of life we want. They're an often overlooked and massive opportunity to give us a mindset of growth and can boost our creative energy.

Self-affirmations are important because they provide us with a kind of ‘self-talk’, which allows us to go over the most important things in life. They are a low-stress way to help us to raise our self-esteem and self-awareness, as well as gaining more self confidence.

Some people have undergone incredible transformations using affirmations to help them by keeping a positive attitude and avoiding negativity and depression. Having a confident mindset allows us to rid ourselves of bad habits and to build up new, healthier ones, like improving your physical health.

If you work in a negative environment or are surrounded by toxic people, they can certainly help give you peace of mind and make you a more confident person.

It can be very healthy for our relationships, too; making peace with our environment helps us to have less stress and more tranquility in our lives.

3. How to Implement Daily Affirmations

Daily affirmations are a brilliant approach to start your day with positivity.

Some people have a morning routine where they repeat their affirmations in front of a mirror (like a meditation). Or place sticky notes in the most visited places around their home, like the bathroom or kitchen. Others like to write their positive affirmations down in a daily journal or as a reminder on their phone's lock screen. You can have an affirmation "session" up to three times a day.

Try one of the methods that you think is the right fit for you for a few days. If that doesn't work, try another. The point is choose a method and regular routine that works for you - and stick to it.

A Practical Method to Use Affirmations

We have been taught that if we want something in life, we must work hard for it; but that’s not always true. An affirmation is a message that we send to ourselves and to the universe, whether we believe it or not.

When you feel something negative coming up, you can quickly change your beliefs about yourself by following these steps:

1. Write an affirmation that tells you to change your attitude. For example, say: "I'm not quite as positive as I thought I was."
2. Repeat this affirmation several times, making it louder each time until you're sure it's true.
3. Repeat the affirmation several more times, until you believe it completely and completely agree with everything it says.
4. Repeat the affirmation at least once a day, over and over again until it's firmly established.
5. Have positive affirmation reminders. This could be a simple Post-it note on your fridge or a reminder on your phone's calendar.

You can use positive self affirmations to help with your anxiety or phobias. For example, if you have a phobia of heights, you can start by saying simple statements like: "I'm not afraid of heights." Every time you're presented with an object too high for you to look at, you can repeat this affirmation; this will make you feel less scared to look at things that are scary for other people. It doesn't even have to be an everyday thing. Use it as part of your weekly routine to keep moving your motivational momentum in a positive direction!

How to Make Your Own Affirmations

Learn to listen to your own thoughts and feelings; that’s when you will know how to use affirmations best. Make a list of meaningful reasons why you want to have future success. These are often not external sources of motivation, but internal. Often times the best motivation comes from within.

What's inside of you that is a burning, driving force? Something you're passionate about.

Research shows people who say positive statements like "I’m a creative person" but they don’t actually believe it, can make themselves feel worse.

This is why you need to choose words that are most meaningful and true to your own core values. They may seem like positive ideas but if they don't "speak to you", don't use them. Make sure they "feel" right.

For example: "My name is John Jones. I am a special person, I can do this, or I will be successful at work."

The key is to feel the meaning of the affirmation as you speak it or write it.
