2020….what a year it was. Every single day in 2020 has felt like a humungous mountain to climb. Whether it was losing a family member, turning on the news and finding out another innocent Black life was taken, missing out on monumental experiences, or just getting out of the bed.

However, during the duration of the year, I have come across A LOT of positive affirmations that I’ve been writing down, screenshotting or just saving on Instagram. I have even written a few on sticky notes and put them around my room as well as crafting up a few on Canva and saving them as my home screen for a constant reminder. Positive affirmations quite literally force us to keep focused on our inner goals, despite the negative factors surrounding us. With affirmations we think consciously about our thoughts. When we speak positive affirmations, we feel positive emotions and our mind responds to them, believing they are true.

I wanted to get more into the habit of repeating my favorite affirmations everyday. So, as the year came to an end, I gathered my favorites that really have got me through… and here are a few! I hope you all enjoy and definitely save them for yourself!

my anxiety is lying to me. i am loved. everything is okay.
my path was perfectly handcrafted for me. comparison is the thief of joy.
success is within me. growth and prosperity are both within me. i am an abundant and attractive force.
i did nothing wrong by asking to be treated right.
i am already whole, so i only accept whole things. half love and half intentions will never fill me.
i will no longer pour into someone’s cup that doesn’t pour into mine.
having a big heart is not a flaw. it does not put me at a disadvantage. it is one of my biggest strengths. i have pure intentions so i will always win in the end.
i’m not behind or unproductive. i’m doing as much as my mind and body are allowing me to do under stress and fatigue.
i will focus on what i can control and make peace with what i cannot.
i have the God of angel armies defending me in battles that i don’t even realize are there. He is worthy to be trusted, even in my most anxious and worried thoughts.
i am a river, not a rock.
i will focus on what helps me grow and makes me happy.
what’s coming is better than what was.
i will stop sacrificing my happiness for others to find theirs.
what is mine will be mine, effortlessly.
i cannot expect what i do not communicate.
my body is strong, relaxed and healthy.
my worries are fading away because i am choosing to focus on what brings me joy daily.
i am doing the work to keep winning.
i am passionate and fierce. the fire i have within me inspires many.
all i am is love.

This is also something I practice out loud everyday and I genuinely feel a difference in my day when I do it and when I don’t. I have a little notecard with this written on it tapped to my bathroom mirror so I see it everyday.

Every morning…

One thing you like about the way you look

One accomplishment I am proud of from yesterday

Five people in your life you are thankful for

One thing you are looking forward to

Positive things about your personality

Take 5 deep breaths. Stay positive. Enjoy the day. Life is beautiful.

I truly hope this post was helpful to you all, especially with the way 2020 went. I know personally I need to practice more positivity and daily affirmations, so this is even holding me personally accountable. Always remember, there is life and death in the power of the tongue.
