50+ Daily Positive Affirmations for Motivation and Self Confidence

Last Updated on August 3, 2022

Think for a minute: what does your self talk usually consist of? Does your inner-dialogue have an uplifting, positive, confident tone? Or does it tend to sway more negative, doubtful, and pessimistic? The way we talk to and affirm ourselves matters, so be sure you’re making use of positive affirmations and motivation in your self-talk. 

Having a positive mindset is so important, as is the way you view yourself. And usually, as sad as it is to say, we’re our own worst critic. But of all people we could use support from, we should be our #1 fan!! We have to learn to love ourselves, since we’re the ones that have to live with ourselves. 

If you’re looking to spark your motivation and develop stronger self confidence, then motivational affirmations like the ones on this list can surely help!

How do positive affirmations work?

It can feel a little silly or awkward to begin saying positive affirmations if it’s not something you’re used to or if you think negatively about yourself. But positive thinking is quite powerful in shaping our mindset and re-training our inner dialogue to default to positive messages rather than negative!

If you get into the habit of replacing your negative thoughts with positive ones, it will soon become second nature and as a result, will improve your overall self confidence and the way you view your capabilities. 

Positive affirmations are a great way to practice self care! Make sure you’re getting the self care you deserve by checking in with yourself regularly. Grab my (free!) daily self care check in sheet below to make it a habit!

Benefits of Daily Positive Affirmations

Research shows that speaking positive affirmations to yourself daily can better your mindset, improve motivation, and increase feelings of self worth.

But positive affirmations work best when you truly believe what you’re saying, or can at least begin to get on board with what you’re saying. It’s a bit of a baby-step process, but ideally your positive affirmations should align with your core beliefs about yourself. 

So with that in mind, positive affirmations give you the chance to reflect on the fantastic qualities that make you you! And if there’s anything you’d like to work toward believing about yourself, you can introduce it slowly in time into your daily positive affirmations.

Overall, this will help improve your overall self-esteem and put you in a positive headspace.

Different Ways to Implement Daily Affirmations

A great first step is to begin including positive affirmations into your everyday routine. There’s two ways people often do this: through journaling or meditating. 

Personally, I aim to meditate every morning. And to prevent my mind from racing all over the place (as our minds just love to do when we attempt to meditate), I like to repeat positive affirmations to myself to give me strength and motivation for the day. It sets me off on the right track and truly is so motivating!

If you’re ready to experience the power of positive affirmations for yourself, then let’s dive into these daily positive affirmations for motivation and self confidence!
