During a period of low self-care, I repeatedly recited a set of words that helped me find inner peace and hope. Though it might have been an optimistic statement, reciting it pushed me to look for even a small fragment of joy amidst difficulties. It was like mending a broken heart by opening it up again.
Positive affirmations have been a tried and tested method for those of us who need daily motivation, and the best part is that they are adaptable and cost-free. You can write them on sticky notes and put them on your mirror, keep them in the notes app on your phone for quick access, or memorize your favorites to recite during moments of uncertainty.
Whether you are managing depression (with the aid of a therapist or psychiatrist) or simply striving to increase your self-esteem, I wish that you will discover an affirmation from this list that resonates with you.

WHAT’S AN AFFIRMATION?
A positive statement is used to help you overcome negative thoughts and ideas. The message is usually written in the first person and can be long or short sentences. The purpose of affirmations is to develop a habit of positive thinking and self-empowerment.
WHY ARE AFFIRMATIONS IMPORTANT?
Affirmations can help you change your mindset on a difficult idea or situation. They can increase self-esteem, and gratitude, and help you overcome loss for example. With all the distractions of the world, affirmations help you remind yourself daily of what is your priority in your personal healing journey.
HOW CAN I USE AFFIRMATIONS?
Affirmations can be used in various ways but the important part is to continuously do them. It’s like working out! One workout will make you feel good but it won’t change your body. You can practice affirmations by reading them out loud, writing them down, or simply having them saved as your lock screen. Interacting with affirmations daily on the topic you choose will improve your life for the better. My recommendation is to get creative with where you feel you will best use them. An example would be to write an affirmation down on a sticky note and hang it on your mirror. Say it every day for a week and then create a new one the following week. It’s all about you.
