I’ve also included a huge list of specific affirmation posts and this list is growing all the time. These posts give you thousands of affirmation examples.

Affirmations have played a huge part in my life for many years now. I started using them at a time when I really didn’t like the person I saw looking back at me in the mirror, at a time when I really wasn’t happy with my life.

During my training as a life coach, and later as a law of attraction practitioner, I began to understand just how important it is to fill our minds with positive thoughts that support us in life.

If you want to find out more about me and my coaching, please check out my WORK WITH ME page here on the blog.

Affirmations are a fantastic way to shape your thoughts. I encourage you to make them a daily part of your life.

Oh, and by the way. I really love who I am now and I love my life. Affirmations helped me get to this place.

What are affirmations?

Affirmations are positive statements, usually present tense. These statements affirm things you want to be true.

They can be true now or they can be things you want to bring into your life.

I am a full-time blogger and I use the affirmation – Every day in every way my blogs get more and more successful.

My blogs are successful, so this if affirming that this is true now.

It’s also something I want to continue to be true. I want my blogs to continue to be more and more successful, so this blog helps me to stay in the right mindset wise.

Every day in every way my life gets better and better. #Affirmation

When is the best time to use affirmations?

Any time is the best time to use affirmations. Fill your mind with them throughout the day.

Start your day with some affirmations and end the day with your most relevant ones.

Stick them on sticky notes around the house.

Record them on your phone and play them back to yourself.

These are all really good tips.

But what I’d really like you to do is watch out for limiting thoughts that do not help you to achieve the life you want, that does not help you to feel the way you want.

For example, if something went wrong during the day, I’d often say things to myself like… I’m so stupid, or, I can’t do it!

Really, I used to say really horrible things to myself, much worse than I’m so stupid but I don’t think you need me to list them.

If you catch yourself saying anything that doesn’t support you, or doesn’t make you feel positive, then swap it for something better feeling.

Here’s an example…

I’m so stupid – What would be a better feeling thought? Maybe, I can work this out. I’m smart. I can learn.

A more severe thing I would say is I hate myself. I started to say – I like myself – Slowly, I moved to I love and accept myself, and to I totally love myself and I’m pretty awesome!

I can tell you the last statement – I totally love myself and I’m pretty awesome! feels so much better than – I hate myself.

Notice the things you say to yourself as you go through the day and if any thought doesn’t help you to feel positive, swap it for a better feeling thought. Here’s a really helpful article to read Aim for a better feeling thought.

What if affirmations feel like a lie?

People often tell me that affirmations feel like a lie and I’ve done a fair bit of muscle testing on this and that has shown that we don’t accept some affirmations to be true.

You can try making your affirmations more believable to you. For example, if you are currently in debt with no savings and you’re saying I am a millionaire, that will feel like an out-and-out lie.

Instead, try saying… Every day I’m learning how to manage my money better. I now have a great plan of action to build wealth.

I also really strongly recommend EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques. This is a technique where you tap on meridian points to improve energy flow.

This helps to release blocks such as limiting beliefs and emotional blocks, EFT also helps you to raise your vibrations.

If you’re new to EFT, check out my EFT GUIDE – It’s really easy to learn and use in your own life.

When you combine your affirmations with EFT this will help to release any resistance to them being true for you. Read EFT and AFFIRMATIONS – THE POWER COMBO.

I’ve also written a full post answering the question WHAT TO DO IF AFFIRMATIONS FEEL LIKE A LIE?. If this is an issue for you, I’d love you to have a read of this to really get to grips with doing affirmations in a way that works for you.

5 life-changing affirmations

I wanted to share 5 affirmations that have played a big part in my life. I used these to help change my life and I still use them now that I really love my life.

Every day in every way my life gets better and better
Right here, right now, all is well in my world
I’m always in the right place at the right time
I’m safe and protected
I am loved

I'm always in the right place at the right time affirmation

Create your own positive messages

Here are a few ideas to help you create your own positive messages.

How do you want to feel? For example, if you want to feel happy, your affirmation would be I AM HAPPY or Every day now I feel happier and happier.

What do you want to achieve? For example, I want my blog to continue to be more and more successful, so my affirmations every time I work on my blog is… My blogs are super successful, every day my blogs get more and more successful, my blog income is constantly increasing, my blog audience is constantly growing…

If you’re stuck, drop me a message below. I’ve also created a post with over 130 examples of affirmations. Use these to give you ideas for building your own affirmations.

Affirmations for life

I encourage you to use affirmations for all areas of your life. Whatever you want in your life, you can create an affirmation to support you.

Make them a part of your morning routine – Read MORNING AFFIRMATIONS for ideas.

Finish off the day with Evening Affirmations or Gratitude Affirmations.

I’ve also written Affirmations for life – 8 key areas of your life with loads of tips to help you create affirmations to support you in different areas of your life.

Law of attraction and affirmations

The law of attraction is always working in everyone’s life at all times – Whether they’re aware of it or not. You can read all of my LAW OF ATTRACTION blog posts HERE

I’ve also put together a special guide here on the blog to help you use the law of attraction’s power better. HOW TO USE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION GUIDE

There are some key things you need to know about the law of attraction.

The law of attraction draws to you that which you FOCUS your attention on – Wanted or not
The law of attraction responds to your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, the things you say and the things you do
Affirmations are a way to deliberately fill your mind with thoughts that support you.

Are affirmations positive thinking?

Not really. Instead, affirmations are a tool to help you with positive thinking. They are a way to deliberately fill your mind with positive messages that support you and help you create the life you want, be the person you want to be, etc.

I’ve written a full blog post about this if you’d like to know more – ARE AFFIRMATIONS POSITIVE THINKING?

How long should affirmations be?

It really doesn’t matter how long your affirmations are. I’ve seen some really powerful affirmations that are very specific to the person that is amazing and there are some totally powerful affirmations that are super short.

One thing I will say though is a long affirmation will be hard to remember and short affirmations are much, much easier to repeat throughout the day.

Here are a couple of posts I’d really like you to read…

Combine affirmations with EFT

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It’s where we tap gently on special points. You can read my full EFT – How To Tap Guide. It’s so easy to learn and use in your own life.

One way to use EFT is to combine tapping with saying your affirmations.

This helps to release resistance to the affirmations and raise your vibrations so that you’re more and more of a match for what you want. Read Why EFT and AFFIRMATIONS are a real power combo.

Here are some EFT and Affirmation posts to give you more ideas…

Money affirmations and EFT Script
EFT for a Positive Mindset – There’s an EFT and Affirmations script included in this blog post
EFT and self love-affirmations

Here’s a simple EFT and Affirmations example you can use daily.

Top of the head – I am enough
Forehead – I am confident
Eyebrow – I am capable
Side of the eye – I am loved
Under the eye – I have what it takes to achieve my goals
Under the nose – Today is a wonderful day
Under the mouth – Every day my life gets better and better
Collarbone – I’m a good person
Under the arm – I love how I live my life
Side of the hand – My life is wonderful

Keep going, repeat the tapping points, using any affirmation you want. You can use many different affirmations or you can focus on one specific affirmation.

I like to do some EFT with affirmations every day. This will always help to improve your energy flow and help you allow the affirmations to be true for you.

EFT Hand Tapping with affirmations

Sometimes you don’t want to do EFT using all the points, for example, when you’re out in public. You can focus on hand EFT only in this situation and simply tap the side of the hand saying your statement in your mind.

I’ve written a full blog post on this. Go to EFT Hand Tapping.

Give affirmations a try

Play around with affirmations and have fun with them. Don’t expect them to make a massive difference overnight.

Stick with them long-term and keep filling your head with positive thoughts that support you. Keep replacing any limiting and negative thoughts with better feeling, positive messages.

If you have any questions, just ask. I’m happy to help.

  The important thing is to create a feeling that supports getting a job. Affirmations can help with that. I recommend that you read EFT and Affirmations power combo. https://lifeandbusinesswithwendy.com/affirmations-and-eft/ Combining EFt with affirmations will help to release any negative emotions, energy blocks and limiting beliefs.
  
  I encourage you to focus on the kind of job you would like rather than a specific place. What kind of work will you be doing, what are the people like who you work with, what kind of place is it? How will you feel when you have that job?
  
  Aim for better feeling thoughts. Such as, I don’t have a job right now but I do have all of these skills to offer a new employer… (list your skills.
  
  Also, use this time to try and improve on any skills. Learn new skills.
  
  You want to get the feeling that you are a great employee and feel like you have lots to offer a business.
  
  So when using affirmations, rather than saying I have a new job, you can say I’m a great employee and I’m very employable. I have lots to offer.
  
  When using EFT, you can say, even though I don’t have a job right now, I know that I have a lot to offer and I am very employable. This will help to release those blocks to help you to feel better and be more of a match for attracting job opportunities.
  
  I hope this is helpful and I wish you every success.

Hello,
My problem is I work for a company that we take 3 chats at a time and they are timed. My anxiety is through the roof and I have the feeling of not knowing and feeling what I am doing. I feel defeated before I get to work and dread it at times. But I have to have my job. I just started to use affirmations and would like to know any suggestions for work that I could use to help. Thank you so much and this is great!

  Hi Kimberly. Thank you for reaching out to me. I have 2 streams to this reply.
  
  You will want to use affirmations that support you in the job you have. I would also suggest that you work out if this is a job you want long-term. If it’s not then I would love you to use affirmations and the law fo attraction to work on attracting a job you love or a business you love.
  
  First of all, I’d like to direct you to my EFT for anxiety post. Don’t worry if you’ve never done EFT before, everything is explained and theirs a link to a free EFT guide within this blog post. I really want you to take the time to do this and focus on the anxiety that each aspect of your work brings. https://lifeandbusinesswithwendy.com/eft-for-anxiety/
  
  When you are thinking about your work, going to work and at work, say things like this…
  
  I know what I’m doing
  I’m doing my best and that’s enough
  
  I also really want you to focus on the affirmation I am enough. I am enough. This is one of the most powerful affirmations you can see and it has the power to totally transform the way you feel and your entire life. Please read https://lifeandbusinesswithwendy.com/affirmation-i-am-enough/
  
  Now, if you want to attract a wonderful job, get really clear about the job you want, especially how you want to feel in that job or business. I’d really love you to read my law of attraction posts on the blog and as you read them ask yourself, how can I use these tips to help me attract the job/business I want?
  
  A great affirmation for you to use is I LOVE MY JOB. And be open to falling in love with your original job or the Universe delivering your ideal job. If you want to swap jobs, start looking for your ideal job and start applying, saying to yourself, I’m a great match for this job.
  
  I hope this is really helpful. Do come back to me if you have more questions once you get started with this. My very best wishes to you.
