Introduction
Daily affirmations are a great way to boost your motivation and set your mind on the right track. They can help you achieve whatever goal you’re working toward and make sure that each day is filled with positive thoughts and feelings. The best part about using affirmations is that they don’t have to be complicated or anything quite like this
Daily affirmations are words or phrases in the present tense that promote positive thinking.
Daily affirmations are words or phrases in the present tense that promote positive thinking. They can be used as a form of self-talk, which is an internal conversation you have with yourself. You might think of affirmations as a way to change your beliefs and how you think about things, or they could help improve other aspects of your life like health or relationships.
There are several types of affirmations: positive statements, generalizations (like “I am”), and positive predictions (such as “I will always do my best”). Daily affirmations should also include something specific about who/what you want to become so that it feels real and achievable for yourself!
You could make your own or borrow someone else’s.

You can also use a phrase that has been passed down through the generations, or one that is relevant to your life right now. This is especially helpful if you’re not sure exactly how to phrase it yet—you may find yourself working on this as you practice.
Choosing something that’s specific to you makes it a lot easier to remember if you use one word or phrase that captures how you want to feel.
- What makes an affirmation specific to you? You should choose something that’s specific to your situation, like “I am a good parent” or “I am an accomplished writer.”
- How does specificity help? Specificity is the key ingredient in making sure you’ll remember your affirmations. If there’s no way for us humans to know what our lives look like when we’re not feeling well (or even if we don’t have any idea), it can be difficult for us to imagine ourselves feeling better—which means that when we get sick or scared, our minds won’t be ready with positive thoughts and ideas about how things will turn out.
- And because most people tend toward negative thinking styles when they’re stressed out or unhappy, this can lead them down a dark path toward self-sabotage (example: thinking “I’m such a failure”) instead of toward self-improvement (example: thinking “I’m doing my best”).
If you’re not sure where to start, try writing out words and phrases that remind you of how you want to feel.
You can also write down words that remind you of how you want to feel. Maybe it’s “weird,” or “happy,” or “loved.” Write down whatever feels right for you, and then read through your list every day.
If writing out affirmations isn’t your thing but still want a little help making them work for you, try writing down phrases that represent what it is that makes up who are today: “I am confident,” or “I am brave.” These will remind us of who we are at our core and allow us to see ourselves clearly—and therefore take action toward achieving our goals more easily than when we’re unsure about which direction we should go in.
Let’s say you’re trying to change your morning routine, maybe you have a daily affirmation that says I wake up with energy and excitement for my day, for example.
- You can create your own daily affirmations.
- You can borrow someone else’s daily affirmations.
- You can find daily affirmations online.
- You can find them in books, magazines and newspapers (if you’re old enough to read).
The next time your alarm goes off, instead of hitting snooze, take a few deep breaths and say your affirmation aloud.
The next time your alarm goes off, instead of hitting snooze, take a few deep breaths and say your Daily affirmations aloud. Then stand up and move around for five minutes.
That’s it! You’ll be more awake than if you’d stayed in bed for another 10 minutes. And the great thing about this technique is that it’s easy enough that even the busiest person can do it every morning—and they’ll feel like they were never late in life at all!
You may feel silly at first but if you keep doing it every morning, it can help keep your motivation strong throughout the day.
You may feel silly at first, but if you keep doing it every morning and are able to build up the habit of doing so, it can help keep your motivation strong throughout the day.
The best way to create an effective daily affirmation is to make it as clear and specific as possible so leave out the wishy-washy language generic stuff like I want just doesn’t cut it the more vivid and personal your affirmation is the more likely your brain will listen up.

Here are some things you can do:
- Keep it simple, keep it positive and use a positive statement such as “I am successful” or “I am healthy” or even more specific like “I feel good today”. If you find yourself getting frustrated, reword it into something more positive like: “My mind is clear this morning!”
- Make sure it’s present tense (not past), otherwise we’re not really doing anything different than before except saying something over and over again until we believe that if only my life was different then maybe things would go differently now?
- That’s not how reality works though so try not to fall into this trap by thinking there needs some kind of magic wand thing where all your problems disappear overnight with no effort at all needed on part of yourself or someone else involved with helping bring about change within yourself first before trying everything else available out there which also includes other people who may not necessarily be able themselves but still want what BEST FOR YOU because well…they care about YOU too! 🙂
Conclusion
We hope you’ve found this guide helpful in creating your own daily affirmations. The more specific and personal they are, the more likely we are to believe them. Remember that with practice, you can make any affirmation work for you!
