How To Write an Affirmation Statement

Think about the areas that you want to change.

Do you wish to have more patience? Maybe deepen your relationship with a friend or family member? Write down a few areas/behaviors that you would like to work on! Make sure that they match with your core values!

Be sure that your affirmation is credible and achievable.

Make sure that you are making your affirmation reachable. For example, a reachable affirmation might be that you want to gain confidence to ask for a raise, but a non-reachable affirmation might be that you want your salary to double.

Turn negatives into positives

If you are talking negatively to yourself, trying saying a affirmation that is the opposite of that. For example, if you say this to yourself, “I'm not talented enough”, then say this to yourself instead, “I am a skilled and experienced”

Write your affirmation in the present tense

Write your affirmations as if they were happening in the moment. It will help you believe that the statement is true.

Say it with feelings
Affirmations tend to be more effective who it holds some emotional weight.
