101 Affirmations You Can Start Using Today!

Affirmations are great tools that can help you overcome fear, build your confidence, develop an abundance mind-set and more. The problem is that many people aren’t sure exactly how to write effective affirmations. Do they always have to be in present tense? Can they contain “negative” words like can’t, won’t, not, and so on?

There are plenty of differing opinions on the right and wrong ways to write effective affirmations, but the bottom line is that an affirmation can be considered effective if it works for YOU! The whole point of affirmations is to shift your thoughts and emotions to a more positive place so you feel more confident, happy, secure, abundant, or anything else you’re trying to accomplish.

Take a look at the 101 powerful affirmations below for starters and feel free to use them if they resonate with you. If not, try altering them slightly until they trigger the mind-set and emotional state you’re trying to attain.

  16. Sal - May 19th, 2008 at 12:38 am

    I think you are right in that some affirmation wordings resonate more than others and that this is a very individual thing. The form of words or syntax of some otherwise great affirmations just don’t “sit right” with me and I find it hard to block this out.

    Instead of focussing on the meaning of such affirmations I find that a little part of mind is niggling away in its usual critical role, analysing and criticising the wording or the grammar etc !

  17. SJ Yee - May 19th, 2008 at 12:40 am

    Yes, print them out… paste them on all the places that you would frequently come across… make full use of these affirmations and watch them change your life!

  18. SJ Yee - May 19th, 2008 at 12:53 am

    Sal, watch what you focus on… because what you focus on expands…

    Go ahead and change the affirmations to your liking… make them your own… but remember… they are there to bring more positive energy, things and people into your life… you need to have the right mindset before you can start receiving all these wonderful things

    And it starts with being grateful for what you have =)

    Hi anon, feel free to check out my latest post on the subject of fear.

    Dear Yee,

    I’d like to invite you to partner with DailyOM this coming April for the Hay House book release of Waiting for Autumn by DailyOM co-founder Scott Blum.

    As a promotional partner you will have the opportunity to expose your website to over 4 million people at no cost to you.

    Here are the details of how a promotion works:

    DailyOM and our partners all send an email to their email lists on April 7 about Waiting for Autumn. In order to encourage the subscribers to purchase the book DailyOM and our partners (you) each offer a free gift to be included when the book is purchased. The gift will be available to the purchaser for a minimum of a year. This promotion is expected to reach at least 4 million people, all in a single week. It is incredible exposure for all the partners and their websites who are involved with the promotion.

    Here is an overview of Waiting for Autumn and bio of Scott Blum:

    “A warm and revealing book about personal transformation. It’s narrative reveals the honesty of one who has really walked the path of forgiveness and divine connection, and found the rewards of intuition, mission, and synchronistic flow. This book will speak to everyone.”

    - James Redfield, Author of The Celestine Prophecy

    “A thrilling story, a deep metaphysical message, a breath of fresh air.”

    - Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., Author of Five Wishes & Co-Author of Conscious Loving

    “A journey of personal and spiritual discovery that opens up our hearts and fills us with divine wisdom and inspiration.”

    - Debbie Ford, Author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers & Why Good People Do Bad Things

    CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE WAITING FOR AUTUMN VIDEO TRAILER:

    http://www.dailyom.com/work/wfa/wfavideo.html

    In the tradition of The Alchemist, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and The Celestine Prophecy, this enchanting semiautobiographical novel follows the inquisitive Scott as he finds himself in a parking lot where he meets a cardboard-sign-toting homeless man named Robert with a penchant for changing lives. With Robert and the sleepy black lab Puppy Don at his side, Scott embarks on a spiritual awakening and attempts to heal his past while confronting the spirit of his dead fiancee, learning the power of nature, exploring the spirit plane, and discovering the true nature of the universe.

    On this unique journey of self-discovery, various healing and spiritual modalities are revealed, including shamanic soul retrieval, ancestral healing, harnessing of lunar energy, conscious cooking, kirtan and lightworking. This easy-to-read book is a charming and affecting story of one humble soul’s profound awakening on the path to facing an extraordinary dilemma between his spiritual calling and earthly life purpose.

    Scott Blum is co-founder of the popular inspirational website DailyOM. He is also a successful multimedia artist who has collaborated with several popular authors, musicians, and visual artists and has produced many critically acclaimed works, including a series featuring ancient meditation music from around the world. Scott lives in the mountains of Ashland, Oregon, with Madisyn Taylor–his wife, business partner, and soul mate.

    To see a sample of the email that our partners sent out for the November promotion for James Twyman’s Spoonbenders course:

    http://www.dailyom.com/courses/partners/letters/spoonbenders.html

    And to see a sample of the page of free gifts that your offer will be permanently part of:

    http://www.dailyom.com/courses/partners/letters/spoonbenders.html

    If you would like to get involved, we will provide you with an HTML email or a text-only email for you to send out during the week of the promotion. We will do all the rest, and we’ll be sure that the subscribers know where to find out more information about the free gifts being offered from our partners. If you do not have an email list, you may still be able to participate by displaying a banner on your site.

    Approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the mailing we will request from you a graphic for the website and your free gift which usually consists of an electronic download (ex. Audio MP3 file, e-book, etc.) but is of your choice and not limited to this type of gift.

    Please let me know if you would like to participate in the April 7 promotion of Waiting for Autumn. Feel free to contact me by email or phone with any questions.

    Thank you,

    Julia Papps

    thanks for your inspiring affirmations!

  53. Jia Bin - March 29th, 2010 at 9:36 pm

    Wow, 101 affirmation is totally awesome!

    Actually I’ve also been using some of the points for #1!
    I used to be underweight (and I mean super), and I didn’t do anything about it because it was just fine being scrawny. But I was wrong when I saw most of my female friends getting attached one by one… And I was one of those left behind singled! That was kinda like a wake up call for me. Thus by affirming some of the things as listed, I am actually growing in my muscle mass!

    For those who are reading this article but yet tried, I really encourage you to try this! You will definitely see results! :)

  54. Charles - May 11th, 2010 at 3:06 am

    Amazing Affirmations
    Thanks for the wonderful gift.

  55. Michael - June 2nd, 2010 at 1:44 am

    Have you thought about making this into an eBook? Personally, I’d prefer it in that format, because thien I could save it to my computer and refer back to it whenever I needed to. (I don’t like bookmarking web pages; it gets too cluttered in my browser.)

    Michael

  56. Michael - June 2nd, 2010 at 1:47 am

    …and I forgot to say I really appreciate the affirmations. They’re great!

  57. Giselle - June 24th, 2010 at 4:04 am

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE BEAUTIFUL AFFIRMATIONS. GOD BLESS YOU. Giselle

  58. xifeng - June 25th, 2010 at 9:56 am

    Thank you seeking your information. A friend of mine told me to visit your blog. This is exactly the kind of information I was hunting for. I wish I have encountered your blog sooner.
