25 Positive Affirmations to Inspire Change

Positive Affirmations are simple reminders to our subconscious that tells it to stay positive and focused on reaching our goals. They are meant to be used for ourselves, not for others. Affirmations can create more appreciation for the things we have and are surrounded with. They can bring more joy and happiness into our lives.  Optimism is a habit that can be cultivated. You can reshape your thinking!


When creating your positive affirmations, there are a few things to keep in mind:


  • Including the words "I am" in your affirmations bring power to your statement.
  • Positively state what you want, not what you don't want.
  • Keep your statements short and specific. Include words that show action or emotion.
  • Before stating your affirmation, take a deep breath and focus on what you're saying.
  • Be grateful for what you have, the people in your life and your surroundings. Let go of the past. You can't change it so don't waste time thinking on it.
  • Celebrate your wins!

It's easy to get in the habit of negative communication. Whether it's complaining about your morning commute or not getting enough praise on your job, you can find yourself complaining about everything.

This negative attitude can transcend into every aspect of your life. Soon, you'll find yourself having a negative disposition.

Practice speaking kind words about yourself and what's around you.

The old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" will definitely come in handy.

Having a negative outlook stems from not being fully confident in yourself. In order to find the positive in your life, start with what's amazing about yourself. 


Practice daily affirmations so you can remind yourself how awesome you are. Get in the habit of regular self-care and stick to it. This will help you change your outlook towards whatever situation presents itself. 

If you're finding it hard to stay positive in your current situation, perhaps make changes to get out of it. If you dislike your job, make the effort necessary towards finding a new one. If you're feeling unhealthy, make nutritious changes so you can live your best life. Sometimes a little effort is all you need to change your current perspective. Baby steps!
