Affirmations are the antidote to the spiteful inner critic who embodies all the naysayers and more from our life. The funny thing is we reality belive the inner critic but take time when its affirmations.

Take all the time it’s worth it.

I like saying affirmations on the way to work (best way to start your day) and a say a list of 5 things I am grateful for before I sleep.

Sharing my 24 favourite here with categories and also some good ones I got from searching the internet.

The Theme

2024 is the Wood Dragon Year according to Chinese calendar. Inspired by this every year I have a theme and without fail they happened that way (or I am cognitive biased?).

So what’s your theme for this year. Is it the year you get back to fitness & achieve a goal related to that, a year you work on connecting with yourslef?

Choose a theme and let it be just one.

Here are some ideas in form of affirmations:

1. This is my year of making power moves

2. This is my healthiest year and I am choosing health & moving my body everyday

3. I am enjoying my fitness' routines and they are helping my mental health

4. This is my year of travelling more and making beautiful memories

5. This is my year of connecting with my inner child

6. This year I am choosing self-compassion and inner peace

On Self:

Here are some personal mantra on confidence, on appearance etc.

1. I am okay
2. I am much more blessed than I will ever know
3. I am in a safe environment (warning, if this affirmation does not match your reality, take action *immediately*)
4. I am looking great today (trust me, there will be a spring added to your walk)
5. I am kind to myself today and listening to my needs
6. I trust my decisions and my ability to follow them

For People In your Life

Nothing impacts our mental well-being like the connections in our life. Let this be the year we put ourselves first and love those who are always there for us a close second.
