We can all do with a bit of positivity in our lives. In fact, in this stress-ridden world, the more positivity the better.
Unfortunately, positivity or a positive mindset is not something that we can buy online or from a supermarket. It is a mentality we have to cultivate using carefully chosen tools over time.
And once you achieve a positive mindset, there is no guarantee that it will remain with you forever. Just like you nurture plants in a garden, you need to nourish and take care of your attitude regularly.
You may be thinking, “Oh my God! That is too much work”. Not exactly. When you have the right tools, even the hardest and mundane of tasks become simple and even enjoyable.
Positive affirmations are considered the shortcut to fill your life with positive energy. They are things to tell yourself every day to raise your energy vibrations. Affirmations are positive statements to help build your confidence level and belief in yourself. You can also use affirmations to target your specific requirements.
In this article, you will find some powerful everyday affirmations you can repeat every day to shift to a more positive mindset. Regular use of these words of affirmation to yourself will significantly transform your life.
10 daily affirmations for a positive mindset
We all need someone to tell us, “You can do it”. A bit of motivation and encouragement can make us work harder, keep us focused, and persevere even in the event of setbacks.
Positive statements about yourself achieve this for you without the help of others. It is like patting yourself on the back.
No need to have any misgivings about their efficacy. Millions before you have taken help from them and swear by them.
Listed here are some positive affirmations to tell yourself that can put you in a good frame of mind and set you firmly on the track to succeed.
1. I believe in myself.
The most crucial mentality you need to have is to be happy in your own skin and to succeed in your endeavors. Believing in yourself, your capabilities, your dreams, and above all your ability to stay focused and work hard is all that you need to make your dreams come true.
This affirmation will help in building confidence and self-worth in you. Once you reach this level of positivity, no power in the world can prevent you from achieving what you have set your heart upon. With this affirmation, you are cementing your trust in yourself and the Universe to take you to greater heights.
2. I love myself for who I am.
Many of us are unaware of our disappointment or even discontent about our own attitude, behavior, or even physical appearance. If we dig deeper, we can find reasons for this, such as the ideals set by society or a troubled childhood.
Unless you embrace yourself completely, it would be impossible for you to have a positive mindset or to achieve success. Even loving another person is impossible when you cannot love yourself.
The Universe created you with as much love and care as anyone else. You need to believe that you are lesser to none. Everything starts from accepting you as such warts and all.
3. I am in control of my happiness and destiny.
You need to be confident about your role in your life, where it is headed, and how it shapes up. Often, we blame others for our misery, frustrations, unhappiness, and lack of success. You need to realize that your life can be in your control and all you need to do is to take charge of it.
Blaming others for a bad turn of events in our lives is looking for an easy way out. Instead of owning up the responsibility, we shift blame to others. The problem with this approach is we feel helpless to do anything about the situation.
On the other hand, convincing yourself that you are the master of your own destiny and in charge of your emotions is a step in the right direction. You will be filled with confidence and determination to make the best of the opportunities available.
4. I am doing my best.
Indeed, we don’t always succeed in our efforts. Even when we try hard, we may end up failing. It is easy to lose heart and drown yourself in sorrow. You may never feel up to giving it another try as you are convinced that you will fail again.
This affirmation is a shot in the arm in such a scenario. Once you are convinced that you did your best but still failed can change the way you approach the future. You would want to give it another try and make sure you are giving it your best to have another go at succeeding.
Without this realization, you will find it difficult to move forward in life.
5. The best is yet to come.
Hope is what keeps us all up and running. We need the motivation to continue working hard towards achieving our dreams.
This affirmation helps to keep alive our faith in the future. You have indeed achieved so much until now. But there is still more to do. So, it is not yet time to rest on laurels. This will make you get up and work harder to realize your goals.
6. I am grateful for all the blessings.
Gratitude is the key to happiness, peace of mind, and much more. Cultivating a grateful attitude can get you surprising results in no time.
It is natural to feel dissatisfied with the state of our lives and often we use this to propel ourselves to greater heights. There is no harm in this, as long as we accept and acknowledge the blessings we have already received.
Affirmations make it easier to include gratitude in our everyday lives.
7. Today is going to be a great day.
We need to feel motivated and raring to go at the start of a day. We should be able to greet each new day with enthusiasm and vigor. This affirmation is a great way to achieve that.
The law of attraction teaches us to be positive to attract good things in our lives. Repeating this affirmation offers a big boost to our positivity and the rest naturally follows.
8. I am capable of handling anything that comes my way.
Confidence is one of the cornerstones of success. This affirmation is a reiteration of this truth.
It is impossible to avoid adversities and setbacks in life. However, how they affect our lives depends entirely on how we react and deal with such difficult situations.
When you are equipped with self-confidence and the belief that you can and are ready to face anything in life, you would be surprised at how easy life truly is. You would sail through them untouched and unharmed.
9. I have all the skills and the right attitude needed for success.
Most of us doubt our talent and capability to do certain jobs and this prevents us from being ambitious and attempting them. In doing so, you are denying yourself a chance to succeed. And you are limiting your horizon.
You need the right attitude and skill to succeed in anything you attempt. Both can be learned and developed. And once you have them, it is your turn to acknowledge them and make the best of them. This affirmation is a reminder to you every day that you are well-equipped to meet the demand and aim for success.
10. The entire Universe is conspiring to bring me what I want.
Often the reason for our failure is we convince ourselves that there is some invisible force working against us and making sure that we do not succeed. Only one part of this is true. It is indeed true that there is a hidden force working round-the-clock. Where we go wrong is that it doesn’t work against us but for us.
Most of us are not aware that the Universe is always working overtime to help us succeed and ensure that we are happy and content. This affirmation is a reminder of this eternal truth.
Final thoughts
These positive affirmations may sound too simple or even silly. But believe me, they can work wonders for you. The trick is to believe in them wholeheartedly without an iota of doubt. And repeat them with all the sincerity and honesty you can muster.
Affirmations are like instant energy boosters for your mind. Their effects are fast evident. This means you don’t have to wait forever to see the benefits.
