Positive affirmation statements can be used to start your day and throughout your day to help boost your self-confidence, motivation, and inspiration. They can remind you how you want to be, help you change for the better, and cheer you on through challenges big and small. 

Even if you don't start out believing self-affirming statements -- fake it until you can make it.

What are Affirmations?

Affirmations are positive statements that speak to how you want to be. They direct your focus. They affect your subconscious and conscious mind, especially when repeated.

The Benefits of Affirmations

Affirmations may help you see opportunities you would have otherwise missed. 

Affirmations can impact your emotions, behavior, and attitude. They can also influence how you see the world around you.

As you change, others may change how they interact with you -- resulting in exponentially expanding positive improvements in your life. 

How to Make Simple Affirmative Sentences or Statements

Here's a simple formula for making powerful, easy to remember affirmations:

Start with "I am" and complete the statement with any of the 130 power words listed below that fit your goals. For example: "I am awesome!"

How to Make Variations of Your Affirmative Statements or Sentences

You can keep your affirmation as a simple 3-word statement, or you can add to it.

Here are some examples for expanding your affirmative statement:

• Combine two or more of the power words 

• Instead of "I am," start with another phrase such as "I choose to be"
