the right focus, and improve your mental attitude. You get to choose what affirmations to 
use, whether writing them down or saying them out loud. Here is some more information 
about using affirmations in the fall season.


Benefits of Daily Affirmations

Why should you incorporate daily affirmations into your routine? There are actually a 
few great reasons to use them, and several ways to add them to your routine. Here is a 
rundown of the main benefits of positive affirmations:

It promotes a positive attitude and change in your mindset. This is definitely one of 
the best reasons to use daily affirmations. They are always positive statements meant 
to put you in a right mindset. It helps you throughout the day when you start your day 
with more positivity and kindness.

You start to appreciate more, and get disappointed in less. Affirmations not only 
show you what you want or how to feel, but they help you appreciate what you already 
have. They are written in present tense, such as “I am healthy today”, where not only 
are they positive and great for your mindset, but they help you appreciate the small 
things.

You are more aware of the power of your own thoughts. Affirmations teach you that 
just your thoughts or how you talk to yourself can make a large impact in your entire life. 
It improves your quality of life, makes you feel more positive, and actually helps you 
reach your goals.

It helps provide motivation where you need it the most. Sometimes you need to 
manifest motivation into your life with positive affirmations. They work wonders for this.


How to Choose Your Affirmations

What should your affirmations be? You can definitely choose from the ones other 
people enjoy using, but you might also want to create your own for specific situations in 
your life. 

To write your own affirmations, here are a few tips:

Keep them positive. Affirmations should always be positive from beginning to end. If 
you have a negative thought or attitude, write an affirmation that switches it to 
something positive. For example, if you are dealing with stress about a big change in 
your life, try “I am capable of adapting to any situation”.

Write in present tense. You also want to write affirmations in present tense, as if what 
you want has already happened. If you want to achieve a goal, you write it like “I am 
working hard towards my goals” or something similar that is relevant to you.

Be grateful in your affirmations. Instead of talking about what you want, write your 
affirmations as if you are grateful for something you have (or want) in your life. For 
example “I am grateful to work on my goals today”. 

Remember also to keep your affirmations brief so that they are easy to remember and 
repeat as often as needed.
