30 Morning Affirmations to Start Your Day on the Right Foot

Morning is my absolute favorite time of the day. Being on the road as much as I do (I am currently spending a week in the Bahamas, right after a month in glorious French Polynesia!), makes me so appreciative of having that early morning quiet moment at home, when most are still asleep. The first few hours after I wake up determines how the rest of my day goes. Establishing a morning routine and sticking with it has helped me stay focused and positive throughout the day, and practicing affirmations is an essential part of my morning routine! Whether it’s writing, saying, and meditating on affirmations, I find that when my inner dialogue is pleasant, I can trust life and myself.

What Are Affirmations?

Affirmations are phrases that are written, spoken or meditated on repeatedly to embody positivity and self-love. If you believe in the law of attraction, affirmations help to stay aligned with your goals and transform your attitude throughout the day.

How to Use Affirmations?

Take a moment to do some self-reflection and determine what your goals are, and the things you’d like to work on yourself. Are you a girl boss who wants to keep your head in the game? Look into affirmations for success. Have you noticed an absence of self-care in your daily life and would like to set a self reminder? Pick some self-love themed affirmations to get started.

Write down the affirmations that you resonate with, and begin your practice. I like to say them out loud in front of the mirror in my bathroom, but find writing or even meditating on them equally effective. If you are totally new to affirmations, the first few tries could feel weird and awkward, but don’t give up and keep trying!
