Try These 5 Methods for Using Affirmations

We love affirmations around here. Affirmations are positive statements that tell you who 
you are, who you want to be, or what you want to accomplish. They are written as if that 
statement is already true, allowing you to boost your confidence, relax your mind, and 
live out your dream life.

You will find affirmations for anything and everything, including abundance and being 
successful, making or having more money, building solid friendships, finding the love of 
your life, changing your physical appearance, and much more.

If you have been struggling with stress or anxiety, you can also use affirmations for that 
purpose. 

Here are 5 methods for using your affirmations in order to benefit the most from them.


Morning Affirmations

One of the best ways to use affirmations is by using them in the morning and adding 
them to your morning routine. Set aside a few minutes in the morning to repeat 
affirmations to yourself while looking in the mirror or as part of your morning routine. 
These can be affirmations that are relevant to your goals, or more specific for how you 
feel that day. 

In the morning, you can choose one daily affirmation to repeat all day, write a list of 
affirmations in your journal, or just choose an affirmation in the morning and use it 
throughout the day in different ways.


Sticky Notes

Reinforce your beliefs by putting affirmations on sticky notes and placing them 
strategically around your home or office. This method works great because you don’t 
have to memorize affirmations in order to use them effectively. Not only does the act of 
writing them down help you to remember them, but every time you walk past the 
affirmation, you can repeat it again in your head a few times as you go through your 
day.


Write Affirmations in a Journal

Write down affirmations in a dedicated journal. Take a few minutes each day to reflect 
on positive statements about yourself, your abilities, and your goals. Writing down 
affirmations can help solidify them in your mind and allow you to revisit them whenever 
you need a boost of positivity.

Writing affirmations in a journal is also a great way to come up with new ones, as you 
get ideas for them as you begin writing them down. Your journal becomes a reference 
for all your best affirmations.


Use Affirmation Cards

A slightly newer method for using affirmations is with affirmation cards. These cards 
come in different sizes and styles, and often include a different affirmation on each card. 
There are many ways to use them, but one of the most popular methods is to randomly 
pull a card from the stack each day, and repeat that affirmation in your head all day 
long.

Affirmation cards help you to mix it up and choose affirmations at random that can 
improve your life, but you reduce the stress from having to choose one on your own.


Guided Affirmation Meditations

Incorporate guided affirmation meditations into your mindfulness or meditation practice. 
Many meditation apps or online platforms offer guided meditations that incorporate 
affirmations, helping you to align your thoughts and beliefs with positivity.
