How to Put These Affirmations to Work

Repeat Regularly:

Consistency is key. Repeat your affirmations daily, preferably in the morning or before bedtime. Repetition helps reinforce positive beliefs.

Growth in any form, whether it’s within a business, learning, physical fitness, or mental well-being, repetition and consistency are the top qualities to make progress. By repeating something consistently, whether good or bad, you are forming a habit physically or mentally. We often fall into the negative side of this making habits out of qualities we don’t want. It’s time to start creating habits out of positive thoughts and actions to improve your overall health and well-being.

Self-affirmations are just the beginning to reshaping your mindset towards yourself and the life around you.

Write Them Down

Write your affirmations down in a journal or on sticky notes. Seeing them in writing can reinforce their impact.

Whether it’s the actual action of writing down your affirmations that sticks with you, find something that works for YOU. I used to like writing the same thing down over and over, but maybe just looking at it once and repeating it mentally in your mind is good enough for you.

Maybe writing a daily or weekly affirmation on a sticky note and putting it somewhere you see daily like your mirror, fridge, or even car would work best for you. Or maybe put a different affirmation in each of these locations for the whole month to see something new everywhere you go!

Are you on your phone constantly like the rest of us? Try typing the affirmation on your phone and keeping it as your home screen or on an app you are on regularly.

Mix and Match

Create a variety of affirmations that address different aspects of your life, such as career, relationships, health, and personal development.

This idea can tie in well with having multiple affirmations written out in different locations of your home or workplace to see at different points of the day to remind you to be positive.

You may choose to put the variation off for a while until you find what method works for you. Ultimately, you will need to expand your positive thinking to all aspects of your life to truly benefit from the outcome of this practice.

Personalization & Persistent Positivity

Tailor affirmations to your own needs and experiences. Use language that resonates with you and reflects your unique goals and challenges.

At first, practicing self-affirmation can be quite difficult, especially if you have a poor view of yourself or your life. As you first begin saying these affirmations to yourself, you may struggle to actually believe what you are reading or hearing. However, over time, you will begin to believe what you are telling yourself. That is the magic of self-affirmations used correctly.

That being said, the affirmations must align with the overall goals you are aiming for in life. If you are not intending to be a writer or improve your writing skills, then do not practice an affirmation saying “I am a great and successful writer.” Find self-affirmations that pertain to you and your life.

The image of ourselves originates from what others tell us and then what we choose to believe and repeat to ourselves on a daily basis. Sadly, the things we tell ourselves often fall into a more negative light than a positive one. Be sure that the affirmations you utilize are worded positively.

Example: I am a positive person. vs I am NOT a negative person.

Be Patient

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and positive changes take time. Be patient and persistent. Celebrate small victories along the way.

Habits take up to 21 days of consistent practice to form. If you want this to become a regular practice in your life, you must be consistent and patient.

Don’t forget to be forgiving to yourself if you struggle with this practice. Do not beat yourself up for forgetting to write a new self-affirmation. Keep pushing through!

Be your biggest cheerleader and appreciate the growth you make along the way, no matter how small. Each small change in the right direction adds up to huge change in the long run.
