We talk a lot about affirmations. But, this is because they are a big deal. They have the power to change your entire life. Today we wanted to share a list of our favorite go-to daily affirmations. These are basic affirmations that we like to use when there isn’t a specific goal in mind and we just want to keep a positive vibration in general for the day.

What Are Affirmations?

If you are new to our site or to affirmations lets talk about what they are. Affirmations are mantras, “I am” statements used to help reprogram our minds. We all use affirmations all day with or without knowing it. Any time you make a statement about yourself or your life situation you are saying an affirmation. If you start to pay attention to the words you use, you may notice a lot of these statements are negative – even if you are joking.

We believe the words we use shape our lives. To take control of your life, start by looking at the words you use. What you say you believe as true, and what you believe you will become. When we put our selves down all of the time there is no incentive to bring ourselves up. If you say you are stupid, you will believe it, and you won’t seek out learning – whats the point your stupid anyways. BUT if you say I am smart – you will do what smart people do.

SO- affirmations aren’t hard. Usually, we like to say pick one that stands out to you and your life and use it throughout the day. Anytime you feel yourself feeling down- use that affirmation. Below is a list of our favorite go-to basic affirmations that will definitely lift you up today.
