30 Self-Affirmations You Need to Try Now (And Why)

30 Self-Affirmations You Need to Try Now And Why

The sun rose a little too early, your coffee was cold by the time you got a chance to drink it, your children just won’t cooperate, you went to bed angry… Hundreds of little things have the potential to ruin your morning if you have not trained yourself to look at the positives in your life instead of the negatives.

Understanding the Negatives

It’s no surprise that it’s easier to wallow in the negatives than it is to notice the positives of life. While research shows that there is a beneficial reason we tend to focus on the negatives instead of the positives, it’s important not to become overwhelmed by the bad and lose sight of the good. Some days, however, can seem to lack anything that makes us smile. When that happens, it’s important to remember that our happiness does not come from our circumstances, but from our relationship with God. One of the gifts that God has given us is the ability to look on the bright side of things, even when there seems to be an overwhelming wave of darkness surrounding us.

How to Look at the Positives

One of the simplest and most impactful ways we can start to focus on the good in our lives is by practicing daily self-affirmations. These positive affirmations have been proven to boost self-esteem and reduce stress. At first you might feel goofy looking at yourself in the mirror and telling yourself you are worthy, but like most things in life, it requires practice (and, of course, some grit and grace).

Here Are 30 Self-Affirmations to Get You Started:

  1. Anything I put my mind to, I can do
  2. I am beautiful
  3. I am blessed
  4. Success is always in my reach
  5. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want

Getting Positive and Staying There

The most important thing about daily self-affirmations is that they are just that, daily. Positivity and happiness are things we have to remind ourselves of and work towards every day. God granted us with the ability to look past the difficulties of life and into our glorious future in His Kingdom. Tailor your self-affirmations to fit your needs, look in the mirror, and smile knowing that no matter what life throws at you, you are God’s precious child.

Genesis 28:15 – I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.
