Positive Affirmations for Whatever Life Throws Your Way
There are times when life’s challenges require us to dig deep to find the courage to move forward, but negative thoughts or experiences can undermine our self-esteem. Self-affirmation theory posits that we’re driven to maintain our self-worth when it’s threatened.
Countering negative thoughts about one aspect of ourselves by affirming a different part of our identity can serve as a reminder that our self-worth isn’t connected to the negativity we’re experiencing. Over the past few decades, researchers and therapists have discovered that developing a habit of positive thinking offers numerous benefits for our psychological and physical well-being. Repeating positive phrases can even change our outlook on life.
One way to encourage ourselves to think optimistically is to incorporate affirmations into our daily routine. Affirmations are short, memorable phrases that help boost our sense of self-worth and strengthen our resolve to continue striving toward our goals.
Whether we’re facing a difficult day at work or a big life change, repeating positive affirmations to ourselves throughout the day can help us stay the course and realize our goals. Here are 10 daily affirmations to remind you of your value and help you envision the life you desire.
