How To Use Summer Affirmations

Summer affirmations are all about setting positive intentions for the season, allowing you to lean into the joy and inspiration summer has to offer. To get the most out of these affirmations, here’s some tips on how to use them effectively:

Identify your intention – honestly, any time you step into a new season, it’s a good idea to pause and reflect on what you want out of the next few months. Do you want to get out more and explore beyond your regular day-to-day life? Are you overwhelmed and need to give yourself space to slow down? Decide on your primary intention for the summer and focus on the affirmations that align with it.
Narrow down the affirmations that speak to you most – this list has 55 summer affirmations, which is a lot to choose from! Do not worry about focusing on every single one. Go through the list and take note of which affirmations resonate most, or give you what you need to hear right now.
Write the affirmations down – I recommend writing down your top 5 affirmations from this list in a journal. The act of writing something down makes it more impactful than simply reading it. You can also turn back to the journal page throughout the summer for a consistent reminder!
Visualize and immerse yourself in the affirmation – Visualization practices are incredibly powerful in psychology. If you struggle with the need for control, for example, focus on an affirmation like “I accept what I can’t control.” Close your eyes and think deeply about what this really means for you. Imagine yourself being faced with something stressful, letting out a big exhale, and releasing the tension from your shoulders as you choose to accept that you cannot control the situation.

Above all else, you need to truly connect with the intention, emotion, and energy behind an affirmation in order for it to sink in.

Affirmations are intended to retrain your brain to choose positive self-talk over negative. The more deeply you immerse yourself in an affirmation, the better a chance it has to shift your mindset in this way.
