33 Morning Affirmations to Start Every Day Right!
Focusing on having the right morning routine and starting the day off right with mental health and wellness as priorities should be an essential part of our lives. Yet I know most of us struggle (or have struggled at some point) with maintaining a mindfulness-oriented routine in the morning, especially once we enter adulthood and let ourselves be carried away with what society and workplace expectations are.
Most of us grew up with the idea that to be successful and enjoy a pleasant retirement in most lines of work, we have to give it our 110% every day all day long for many years. There was little to no discussion about how that could affect our overall wellbeing and mental health. And although we are starting to have indispensable mental health and self care/self love conversations, we very frequently forget that it all starts the moment we wake up! The right or wrong morning routine can determine how your brain and your body react to the rest of the day.
As someone who has struggled in the past with having a more balanced work/personal life, making wellness, mindfulness and mental health a priority, and still being able to succeed and achieve everything I wanted in life, I’m always searching for easier and more natural ways to help me have a great morning routine and stress-free start to the day.
Luckily, there are so many ways to do just that! Some key factors that experts always recommend to pay attention to are: having a healthy and wholesome breakfast, drinking a lot of water, teas or herbal shots, meditating etc.
So when I decided to focus more on my morning routine, I looked for ways to try and incorporate most of it without feeling overwhelmed or like I was pressuring myself into something that couldn’t be sustainable long term. By always saying my morning affirmations while enjoying a cup of tea, juice or coffee and before eating my overnight oats or yummy toast, I found a great balance between productivity and ease. This is an achievable way to set the mind right for the rest of the day without having to wake up 2 hours earlier or cramping my schedule for the day. Even during the really busy days, it doesn’t take a long time to repeat my favorite ones while still in bed. And by now, I always make a point of saying my affirmations to start the day right.
These positive morning affirmations have definitely paid off. They help me tremendously, even during the days that I feel sad, anxious, or overwhelmed.
What are morning affirmations?
Morning affirmations are mantras, quotes, or phrases (either short or long) that you’ll either say, read or think to put yourself and your mind in a good and positive emotional state. One of the key meanings of the noun ‘affirmation’ is encouragement or emotional support. So the way I see it, with these morning affirmations, we ourselves are the first to put our mind in a great place, encouraging the mind to be kind with itself, provide the support needed, and hopefully remove any negatives that might appear in your thoughts during the rest of the day. Affirmations are a great way to focus on your optimistic views, take away stress, pessimism and gloom, and in a way prepare your body in order to be ready to tackle everything that the day can bring to you both mentally and physically. I believe that a strong body starts with a strong mind, and not always the other way around.
Do morning affirmations work?
I believe in the power of the mind, and in saying positive affirmations to put optimistic thoughts, confident words, and great energy into the world. In my opinion, these will bring only beneficial and positive things back into your mind, your body, and your life.
And let's not forget that the way we react to things is directly related to the content of our thoughts and our state of mind. Starting the day in the right state of mind will tremendously improve your chances of having a happy and successful day, and will leave you less prone to any outside negativity or hostility. We can’t control the outside world but we can control the way we respond to it, and we can definitely prepare our mind to be at its strongest every morning by just taking a few minutes for ourselves.
What is a good daily affirmation?
There isn’t a single good affirmation that works for everyone, or one magical phrase that makes everything perfect immediately. There are, however, many quotes, affirmations, phrases, and self-help books that you could read, write down or think about every morning before starting your day. I personally choose to say a few phrases and daily mantras that I find very motivating, uplifting and reassuring. Besides those, I am also sharing some more specific ones: morning affirmations for gratitude, morning affirmations for abundance, and even morning affirmations for success. You can always twist these phrases around, create your own, and make them work for you in each individual way!
