101 Positive and Empowering Affirmations for Women (2024)

Last Updated on December 29, 2023 by Thalia

I’m all for cultivating a healthy mindset and affirmations help you to do this.

Affirmations rewire your thinking patterns.

They interrupt your negative thoughts and transform them into empowering ones so you can cultivate more positivity and happiness in your life.

Here are 101 positive affirmations handpicked by me for you.

I encourage you to bookmark this page so you can refer back to it whenever you need to.

The lowdown on affirmations

At the beginning of this month, I made the biggest investment in myself and my business to date.

I’ve joined a group coaching course and one of its underlying aspects is wealth consciousness. This is the concept of cultivating a mindset that attracts financial success and abundance by aligning your thoughts and actions with wealth-building principles.

Along with listening to a money mindset book for 20 minutes in the morning, I am also actively building self-belief and confidence through the practice of affirmations.

As part of my morning routine, I repeat the same affirmation (one I wrote for my own personal needs and goals) 10 times out loud. This daily practice sets me up for a more positive day and boosts motivation so I can navigate any challenges with a stronger and more resilient mindset.

This one simple affirmation has also already started to have a significant impact on my overall success.

I’ve never been one for “woo-woo” practices preferring the practical over the spiritual but I’m finally realising the importance of high vibration. Okay, I still feel super cringe writing that word down but I don’t know how else to word it.

What I’m trying to say is — you attract the energy you put out.

If you start to cultivate more self-belief and an abundant mindset, chances are you’ll start to receive opportunities that support this positive state of consciousness.

The perks of affirmations

Imagine waking up every morning feeling ready to conquer the day.

You have the energy and motivation to go after your deepest desires and dreams.

That’s the power of positive affirmations. They serve as valuable mini-tools that allow you to recognise your own ability and potential, and inspire you to keep going.

Regularly repeating positive affirmations help you to:

• Improve your mindset
• Cultivate an optimistic attitude
• Build healthier thinking habits
• Boost self-confidence, resilience and self-belief
• Reduce stress and negative thoughts
• Increase daily performance and productivity
• Support overall health and well-being
• Reach your goals and vision

101 positive and empowering affirmations

Start your day off right by incorporating the power of affirmations into your morning routine.

Choose 2-3 of the below affirmations that resonate with you the most and write them down somewhere visible — either in your journal or on Notion.

Take 20 minutes out of your day to read each affirmation aloud to yourself or silently. Repeat them regularly to reinforce each positive statement in your mind. Change them up every 60 days as this is how long it can take to reframe your original thoughts and beliefs.

Remember, this is a long-term process, not a quick-fix solution.

It’s also important to note that these affirmations aren’t to be used to “manifest” your dream life.

They are to be repeated daily so you can start to reframe the self-sabotaging thoughts inside your head into empowering beliefs and ultimately gain the motivation and confidence you need to take action and achieve what you want.

How to create your own affirmations

Feel free to use the above affirmations exactly as they are or adapt them to better suit you.

You might find that some of the above affirmations don’t resonate with you. This is because you’re struggling to connect with the words I’ve used.

Which is completely normal. We’re all different and on our own unique journey.

So I encourage you to find your own words that do connect.

If you’re struggling to believe one of the above affirmations, instead of throwing it out and neglecting affirmations altogether, reframe it using your own words.

Creating your own affirmations is a simple but powerful way to customise positive statements to fit your own specific needs and goals.

Here’s your step-by-step guide on how to create your own affirmations:

• Step 1 | Define your goals: Identify areas for improvement or change
• Step 2 | Write positive statements that support these goals
• Step 3 | Use the present tense: Write your affirmations with ‘I’ or ‘my’ as if they’re already true
• Step 4 | Incorporate words that resonate with you: Adding your own words to affirmations helps to generate a stronger impact and make them more effective. Use words that evoke feelings of gratitude, resilience, confidence, motivation, etc.
• Step 5 | Repeat and believe: Read out your mantras regularly and believe in their truth
• Step 6 | Review them quarterly: Update your affirmations often to match your current goals

The most effective affirmations are the ones that resonate deeply with you and inspire positive change in your mindset and actions.

So experiment with different affirmations and find what works best for you.

Final thoughts

Remember, the real power of affirmations lies in consistency and belief.

Choose the affirmations that resonate with you the most and repeat them daily (and for at least 60 days). This is a long-term commitment, not a one-time-only tick-box item.

Let the words of your affirmations become your mantra.

Match your thoughts and actions to your affirmations and allow them to guide you towards a life filled with self-love, unshakable confidence and abundance.
