As a motivational coach, I’ve seen affirmations’ transformative power firsthand. These positive statements can shift your mindset, influence your actions, and help you to create a life you are fascinated with. 

I do affirmations daily to help me to feel balanced and confident. I also share my affirmations with my Instagram and Youtube friends daily. I’d love for you to join me, if you are interested.

This week, I’m sharing four compelling reasons why incorporating affirmations into your daily routine can help you feel more confident and make your life more joyful.

1. Affirmations Reinforce Positive Beliefs

Repeating affirmations reinforces positive beliefs about ourselves and our circumstances.

Habits are made through repetition. Just think about it: walking, talking, eating, brushing our teeth – we couldn’t do these as toddlers, but now we do them effortlessly after years of repeating them.

That’s why we repeat affirmations – to gradually build the habit of positive thinking and slowly but surely reduce the negative or limiting beliefs we all walk around with.

One of my top affirmations is, “All is well; out of this, only good will come, and I am safe.” Saying “I am safe” amid chaos has helped me stay calm and focus on solutions rather than worrying about things going wrong.

I’ve realized that creating internal safety becomes even more important when external environments cannot provide it.

The last few months were incredibly ‘chaotic”; saying affirmations were one of the healthy habits I used to keep balanced.

2. Affirmations Help Focus on Goals

Regarding focus, affirmations keep our goals at the forefront of our minds.  They are like an oral compass giving guidance to the day. 

So when we start the day affirming, “I am making progress towards my goals every day,” we remind ourselves of our direction and purpose. This focused intention helps us to prioritise tasks and manage our time effectively, making our journey towards our goals smoother and more straightforward.

3. Affirmations Reduce Stress and Anxiety

I am at peace with what I cannot control” This was my response to a very rude co-worker who slammed down the phone to end our conversation.  While her reaction was major to a situation that was minor in my mind, I could not control her response, and in that moment, it was important for me to recognise that.

Affirmations can act like calming anchors when the world gets chaotic. They encourage us to shift from states like worry, rage and resentment to more positive ones like peace and assurance. 

I believe peace and power are God’s gifts to us. Affirmations can help us intentionally pursue and portray that peace daily.

4. Embrace the Ease

 Life is full of complexities, but affirmations offer a simple, affordable and convenient way to meet life gracefully and easily. 

If we can start and end our day with a few positive statements, they pave the way to a lighter, more effortless, more fascinating life.

We all deserve that
