20 Quotes to Use for Daily Affirmations
We are all the biggest champions of our own lives, carrying reserves of confidence within ourselves — if only we can remember to access them. Scientists, therapists, spiritual guides, and life coaches all know this, and it’s one reason there has been such an interest in the science of happiness in recent years. Positive thinking has proved to improve our mood, self-esteem, and overall outlook on life. It’s so powerful, in fact, it may also impact the physical functioning of our brains.
One way to maintain a practice of positive thinking is to employ the use of daily affirmations. Loosely defined, daily affirmations are short phrases or mantras that we can write down or repeat to ourselves throughout the day as a reminder to focus on the good — whether that’s being kind to ourselves, feeling grateful, or believing we can achieve an ambition.

Below are 20 quotes that can be used as daily affirmations, printed out and placed next to a mirror, or simply held as tiny reminders throughout the day.
