21 Positive Affirmations To Improve Mental Health

Affirmations are phrases that you repeat to yourself over and over. Though incredibly simple in nature, they are powerful tools for improving emotional wellness.

Our thoughts greatly influence our lives. The messages you send to yourself internally dictate how you think of yourself, your career, your social situation, and all other aspects of your life. By reciting positive affirmations on a daily basis, you can train yourself to think positively about each of these different aspects.

In my work as an online psychotherapist, I have witnessed first-hand the power of reciting positive affirmations. If you would like to try working with affirmations but don’t know where to start, use this list of my favorites as a resource.
