Affirmations are powerful statements that allow you to reshape your thinking. Affirmations constructed with care and intention have the most impact. The goals for creating affirmations change from person-to-person.
After I wake up every morning, I write down a few affirmations to start my days with a positive mindset. Sometimes, I have bad days that aren’t as productive as others. I still journal to avoid blaming myself. As a college student, affirmations help me stay aligned with my goals.
You can make your own affirmations in two steps: 1) Speak about specific goals or things you want to do, have or think. 2) Start with “I am” statements in the present tense. These steps will help you visualize the outcome. The more personal they are to you, the stronger they will be. When you finally have your personalized affirmations, repeat them everyday, whether that’s in the mirror or in a journal. The power of manifestation is real!
