Lately, positive affirmations have gained a lot of recognition. This is because daily, many more people are realizing the powers that lie in positive affirmations and mantras. This is an in-depth post on how to use positive affirmations for living your best life, it’s my aim to promote affirmations and the effects they have on one’s mental health and overall wellness as positive affirmations are known to improve self courage and confidence. 

What Are Positive Affirmations?

Positive affirmations are mantras that are meant to spur you on and encourage you. You can also call positive affirmations words of encouragement but there’s a slight difference. 

Positive affirmations have been scientifically proven to help people live their best life by reducing threats and improving performance. Also, people who practise positive affirmations are more receptive to making errors and rather than stay down and beat themselves, they get up and get going. This makes it hard for people who use positive affirmation for living their best life to hardly fall into a negative mental fog.

How To Use Positive Affirmations To Live Your Best Life

The best way to inculcate positive affirmations into your life is to start by practising daily. And you can grow this habit using any of the following tips for practising positive affirmations.

• Have a handful of your best affirmations: write them down in your journal or stick-on notes and place in strategic locations where you are bound to see daily.
• Add it to your routines: Having routines is necessary for self-growth and personal development as a millennial. Develop a powerfully productive morning or night routine and include time for your affirmations to your routines.
• Use digital apps to stay on track: It’s the 21st century and life has been made so freaking easy. There are several apps that can help you grow positive habits- my all time favourite is the grow tracker app which sends me reminders on habits I want to grow on. So every morning at 6 am, the reminder to affirm pops up on my mobile device.
• Listen To Podcasts: perhaps you detest manual reading and are more of an audiobook person, then listening to positive affirmation podcast is perfect for you. My post on my favourite podcasts for affirmations will be up soon, so you should totally subscribe and get instant notification once that post goes up.

• Use Your Smartphones: Yes to this! We definitely underrate the abilities of a smartphone. On my Samsung device, I set up the Bixby routine for my affirmations and it runs efficiently. Also for those who are always on their smartphones, a simple way to practise positive affirmations daily is to have a list of positive affirmations pinned to your device homepage. This way you are constantly in view of them and can always affirm. I do this using a stick-on note app.

My Own Positive Affirmations

Positive affirmations are not just limited to those you see on this list of positive affirmations, You can draft your own affirmations. Most of the affirmations in this post are affirmations that I created. The affirmation I am God’s Gift to humanity has been my daily mantra since my teenage age.

I unapologetically affirm and own it because I truly believe that my name (Gift) wasn’t mere coincidence, It was predestined for me because I am what I am- A Gift given to this world and since I know this, I constantly strive to impact meaningfully on the lives of others, to inspire others to be their best self. I also own my own voice and speak my truth and most of all, I am a child of Grace and prosperity. So success and all the wealth of the world is open to me and I work hard and chase my dreams to tap into this wealth.

Remember, positive affirmations are meant to make you have a most positive outlook to life and living. However do not convince yourself that all it takes to achieve success is to affirm, you’ve got to back up your affirmations with dedicated diligence towards achieving your goals and living your best life. Faith without works is dead!
