Daily Affirmations

Depending on your background, you may have forgotten somewhere along the way to where you are now, that happiness is your birthright. No one can take it away from you and no one can give it to you. It is something only you have control over.

If you’re not happy in this very moment, ask yourself why. Then realize that you can change it, right this very second. Do no dwell upon that which makes you unhappy; instead, laugh heartily. It may seem strange to start laughing out of the blue (and if you can’t do it by yourself, find something that you find hilarious), but laughter has healing properties. It releases chemicals in the brain which may boost your personal manifesting powers and your overall health.

To go with today’s theme of happiness, I’ve prepared a short affirmation for you to use. Say this to yourself in the mirror, write it down on a piece of paper and reference it throughout the day, or visualize it.

Today’s Happiness Affirmation: I am love and love myself. Because I love myself I choose to make myself happy. In this moment, I am happy and happiness is me.

Of course, make sure to tweak it to your preference.

Sometimes we don’t feel all that great in our own skin due to extra pounds. Maybe the weight crept on when you weren’t looking, gradually and over time. The good news is that you’re not a slave to your weight. You can do something about it. You can drop back to your ideal weight.

(Don’t let anyone tell you what your ideal weight is. Only you can determine that. Just in case, check out the self-esteem affirmation.)

To help you achieve your weight goals, use this affirmation until your goals are accomplished:

I trust my body and know that it will naturally adjust to an ideal weight for me. Food is nourishment and I realize this. I make good and healthy eating choices based on my nourishment needs. I move regularly and enjoy every moment of it. I am healthy and slim!

Self-esteem is the light in which we see ourselves. This light can be beautifully rosy, or dimly drab. When you have a bright outlook on yourself, your life tends to brighten up as well.

When you feel yourself coming down on yourself (and lowering your self-esteem to boot), repeat the following affirmation.

I am worthy. I am beautiful, amazing, and sublime. Everyone I encounter reflects the beauty I see in myself and they each help me to better myself even more.

Above all, remember that you are a beautiful person. You’re unique and that makes you special. Feel that every moment you exist, and whenever you meet someone, they will feel it too.
