Journaling, goal setting and… positive affirmations? That’s right! Reciting positive affirmations is one of the rarely mentioned habits of successful people!
Affirmations are positive mantras that can help you defeat self-doubt and negative thoughts. When you work affirmations into your daily routine (and channel your belief into them!), you can start to make positive changes both in life and business.
Think of it this way: Successful people aren’t just successful because they worked hard—they’re successful because they believed deep down in their souls that they would be successful! You can unlock that same success with the help of positive affirmations for confidence and self-esteem.
Check out this master list of 100 positive affirmations to add to your daily routine.
The Importance of Positive Affirmations in Your Daily Routine
If you’ve ever asked yourself how to be a more positive or confident person, the answer lies in your subconscious mind. Hear us out: You’re the only one who listens to your internal self-talk. When you think negative thoughts, they wreak havoc on your mental and emotional well-being.
So you can understand how your own thoughts play a massive role in your overall success. Like Dean Graziosi says, “Happiness leads to success, not the other way around.” To reach your true success, you need to start working on your happiness first. And affirmations you believe in can help.
Positive affirmations are powerful tools to help you unlock happiness. They act as daily reminders that improve your mindset. Research even shows they can increase your feelings of self-worth!
The magic in affirmations is that they encourage you to focus on the positive and important things in your life, like your loved ones, achievements and strengths. When you reflect on the things you know you love about yourself and your life, you amplify the power those positive things have over your mindset.
And as long as you believe in the affirmations you tell yourself, your actions and mindset will follow suit.
How to Make Positive Affirmations a Habit
For affirmations to take root in your subconscious mind, you need to make them a daily habit and put your belief into them. For some, the easiest way to work affirmations into their daily routine is to say them out loud in front of a mirror. Other people, like Dean, enjoy writing their affirmations alongside their goals in their journal.
If neither of those sound like a good fit for you, you can just repeat them in your head, like a mantra, while you meditate or get ready for the day. If you’re the forgetful type, consider writing the affirmations on a slip of paper. Keep the writings in your wallet or cell phone case, so you can remember to recite them each day.
Regardless of your process, the most important thing is to choose affirmations that resonate with you personally. For the affirmations to work, you must believe in them! Start by choosing 2 or 3 affirmations for confidence and self-esteem, then work them into your daily routine.
