Today’s post is a follow up to my post In Honour of Love, Truth and Beauty: 56 Rare Quotes That Will Change the Way You Live Your Life because if you’re anything like me, you love a stack of handy resources that you can refer back to when you need them most.

In the same way I’m drawn to inspiring quotes, I’m always on the lookout for positive affirmations – powerful words that help us manifest what we want in our lives, renew our passion, fuel our success and ultimately, guide us as we transform and transcend – so I’ve pulled together a list of positive statements that will help you lift the lid on self-sabotaging beliefs and replace them with supercharged thoughts as you discover the best, most vibrant version of ‘you.’

How does that sound? Good? Great!

Pick and choose from the below when an area of your life is called into focus – you’ll know which ones you need to hone in on depending on what’s going on in your world at any given time. Adjust, tweak, add, subtract, save the pics for later – make these babies all yours!

+ What are your thoughts on affirmations? Do you ever use them? I’d love you to share your experiences with using affirmations in the comments below.

For those that haven’t harnessed the power of positive statements like these before, why not make this week the week you give it a go for a bit of fun? Take notice of how they make you feel – I always notice a wave of calmness wash over me when I flip a negative thought on its head by visualising and repeating an affirmation.

Finally, a hot tip:

I like to write my affirmations on index cards and stick them on the mirror in my bathroom so I can see them when I’m getting ready for work, and I also carry one around in my purse (actually, I’m currently using the last one on the list above). Phone reminders are also a winner – type some sparkly words in and prepare to be delighted at random times throughout the week!
