I’ve always known about affirmations but it never really occurred to me that its something I should be doing and something that can really impact your mental health and how you view yourself. Affirmations can be about anything, but here I’ve compiled a list of 20 general affirmations that anyone (and everyone) can say to themselves daily.
I think the first time I said any affirmations out loud was at the start of lockdown when I did some morning meditation sessions on Heels and Feels Instagram page with Sasha. [Fun story that just happened!!! Like as I’m writing this!! I went on Instagram to see if Sasha was still doing her daily meditation, and it turns out Heels and Feels have launched a whole new page Heals and Feels and now have a whole separate wellness timetable – how incredible! And slightly spooky that it literally launched today when I went looking for their normal profile when I haven’t been on it in weeks. I’m shook]
I’ve done all of the meditations so far this week and although it hurt me a little bit to set my alarm before 8am (it’s been a while since I’ve seen that time of day) it has felt SO good to get back into. Just making that commitment to yourself and to your well-being, taking 30 minutes out of your day to take care of YOU, can make all the difference to your day.
Sasha is also hosting a special New Moon Meditation TONIGHT (21st June) at 9pm BST on a private zoom call, which I think is going to be really special. I’ve just bought my ticket! All of the ticket sales are going to the Yemen Charity to help the crisis happening over there right now, so be assured your money is going to an amazing cause and every little helps. If you are in a position to be able to donate, please do! All you need to do to sign up for the meditation and donate to the cause is click on the image below and it should take you right there.
So, if you want to join in the morning meditation, head to the Heals and Feels Instagram page and make sure to follow Sasha too.

Repeat these affirmations to yourself as often as you can, daily if possible, maybe even twice daily. You can say them out loud, say them in front of a mirror, or just write them down, whichever works for you. They are in no particular order here so feel free to jumble them around.
Let me know what your favourite affirmations are, if you say them (hopefully if you don’t already, you can start now) and how often you do so.

I need to start investing more time into the law of attraction! I end up doing it for like 2 day’s then stopping and I wonder why it doesn’t work!

I needed such a wholesome and lovely post today. I’m good at forgetting to tell myself things like this so thank you for such a great post
Power of attraction indeed! This is a wonderful post. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh YESSSSS! I absolutely love daily affirmations! I’ve been really slacking with my affirmations and it really has an affect on my mental health. I love the ones you’ve shared, especially “I am proud of how far I’ve come”. We are often too focussed on what’s ahead to appreciate what we have already achieved.
I’m getting my first bullet journal on Monday and I’m going to have a daily affirmations page so this is so helpful, thank you!!!
These are great! I really needed to read, “I’m doing my best”. I’m going through a really hard and stressful time with my job and I feel like I’m not good enough. Reading that put a smile on my face and I’ll be sure to say that to myself everyday before going in to work.
I’m so glad to hear it! YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Lovely post. We all need to remind ourselves of these things daily. Pinned to my “positive thoughts” board. ?
This is so wholesome yet so simple/powerful. I often (always) forget to say these things to myself even if I’m thinking something along those lines! I’m going to make more of an effort to say these affirmations daily! xx

That’s an amazing commitment to yourself! I’m sure it will make a difference once you start saying them daily x
I think mindset is such an important part of being successful! These are really inspiring thanks for sharing!
Mindset is so important! Thank you for reading x
Fab list. I say affirmations daily and have been for like, 4 years? They can totally change your life! So many times I’ve said my money affirmations and then checked my emails to have received something money related!
That’s amazing! I want to work on my money mindset 🙂
These are great! I really wish that more people would recognize the incredible power of positive affirmations. Too often they are written off as ‘silly’ but they really can have a HUGE impact on our lives if we commit to them! There are a couple here that aren’t on my current list, so I’m going to have to add them moving forward. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts, I completely agree!
Thank you for this. Sometimes it’s easy to forget these things when people, especially family, puts you down.
I’ve started saying affirmations more recently to remind myself of the positive instead of focussing on the negative things about myself. I’m quite self conscious but saying things like these each day, I’m slowly starting to believe them and feel a change in my confidence. Wonderful list!
Thank you for reading! That’s amazing, I think they really do make a difference to your confidence!
I love these. Just what I needed!! X

As a mature blogger I’m at the stage of my life where Ican agree with all of these but now have the confidence not to need to say them.all.
Definitely things that everyone needs to believe in about themselves
Thank you so much. Affirmations are especially great if you want to increase your confidence | https://ilhamusman.com/overcome-insecurities/
Thank you for putting together this post! It’s easy to forget your worth when you’re surrounded by so much negativity.

I usually have affirmations that I keep in my planner for when I need to build myself up. It really makes all the difference
it definitely does make a difference, I love that you have them in your planner for reference!
A great (and much needed) reminder — thank you for sharing!
Love all of these! So simple yet so effective.
Thank you! I hope that you can implement some 🙂
I absolutely love these! I love that they’re all so simple – it would be so easy to just quickly go through them all every day.
