50 Powerful Affirmations To Change Your Mindset

Affirmations are an incredible way to rewire your mind. If you’re anything like me, you can get stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts. This is, of course, affected by my monthly cycle, but I have found that positive affirmations can make the very low days less low and the confident days feeling as though you can take over the world (because you can!)

Negative thoughts can become self-fulfilling prophesies. In the same way, positive affirmations can too.

An affirmation is simply a positive statement to help you overcome self-sabotage and grow your confidence. Whether you’re a housewife, a student or someone trying to juggle a career and family, affirmations really can help you get through it all.

In fact, studies suggest that self-affirmations will help you to improve problem solving when you’re in stressful situations. This sort of exercise has also been proven to help women suffering from mental health problems like anxiety or depression.

For Brits in particular, it can be hard not to answer these sarcastically! Trust me, after a week or so of these, you’ll find yourself answering them more honestly.

Tailor Your Affirmations

While this list is an excellent way to get started, make sure you curate some affirmations that are specific to your goals and how you’re feeling. 

Whether you’re looking for the belief in yourself that you can get a promotion or you’re just trying to grow your friend group, it’s important that you create tailored affirmations too. 

How To Practise Affirmations At Home

You may feel silly at first, but it is important that you say these affirmations to yourself, out loud. In a mirror is even better. You may also choose to stick them on your wall, but you can also put them in a jar or vase and pick out one at a time. 

 However you go about getting them for the day, make sure:

• You start with at least 3 minutes of affirmations, twice per day. Even if you take long pauses to begin with, stick at it!
• Repeat each affirmation 10 times, with intention. 
• Make your affirmation routine consistent. You should do them right after you’ve finished brushing your teeth, for example. It’s important that you embed this practise into your existing routine for it to work. 
• Work to truly believe your affirmation. 
• Be patient. Anyone with a menstrual cycle, in particular, will need to be patient with affirmations because your body is impacted weekly by changing hormones which impact mood and confidence too.
