51 Powerful Affirmations for Self-Love & A Free Printable Affirmation!

 

I used to get so annoyed when I was being negative as a kid and my dad would say, “Think positive!” It seemed impossible to think about positive things when it felt like the world was crashing down around me.

Now, as an adult, I’m grateful to have his voice in my head when tough times revisit. Because they will – they always will. It’s better to learn tools for training our minds to work with us and for us, rather than against us. After all, life can be hard enough at times – there’s no reason to make it harder on ourselves.

And, for many of us, we were not always fed positive thoughts and phrases as younger people. Many have wounds from demeaning, critical words that were spoken to them and feel the after effects from being in relationships with the wrong people. In these cases, the wounds were not our fault, but our future is still our responsibility. It can be so painful to sort through those complicated feelings and stop the thoughts in our heads that did not come from our own doing.

The Power of Affirmations:

Words of affirmation, spoken repeatedly to ourselves out loud and even written down, are a powerful way to train our brain to think good, empowering, healing thoughts about ourselves, our lives, and our purpose. When repeated over and over, daily, for long periods of time, we can help chase out the negative thoughts and words in our minds and replace them with words of healing and self-love.

While there are words of affirmation for any subject you can think of, this list will focus on self-love, empowerment, and healing words.

And, stay tuned for the free printable below with a powerful phrase that all of us can benefit from seeing. This is sized 8 x 10 for easy framing. If you’d like to see more affirmation pictures like this, visit the shop to see the entire pack of 10.
