The positive daily affirmations that you use to make changes and accomplish your goals are simply statements that apply specifically to you and that you believe to be true. Ideally, you design and create your own personalized affirmations based on your needs and goals. These should be carefully worded to help you create change, within yourself.
It’s very important that you say what you mean and mean what you say, when it comes to using positive daily affirmations. If you don’t believe a statement is true, don’t use it, as-is. The affirmations you choose or create should confirm and/or reaffirm something positive about yourself and/or your situation. This is especially true in the beginning stages or if you have low self-esteem.
If you do have low self-esteem or self-worth, the affirmations are important to your progress. However, what’s even more important is your ability to accept and respect yourself enough to be totally honest with yourself about how you feel and what you think. This isn’t about saying or doing things that please others. This is about you doing what’s needed to become the best person you can be and what it takes to make the changes needed to achieve your goals.
How to Create Positive Daily Affirmations
Here are a few tips to help you write or alter affirmations specifically for your needs and preferences.
- Begin your positive daily affirmations with “I” or “My.” Using this format puts you, the person talking, in charge of what is being said and it helps hold you accountable for following through.
- Write your affirmations in the present tense using words like am, is, are, etc. Avoid using future and past tense words.
- Don’t begin your affirmations with “I want” or “I need.”
- Make sure you use positive statements that relate to an aspect of achieving your goal.
- Add power to your affirmations by including positive feelings/emotions such as, “I am excited about meeting interesting people at the conference.”
- Create affirmations that you believe are true and do-able. If you don’t believe a statement, alter it slightly to include a factor that makes it work for you.
- As you write or alter affirmations, use words and phrases that inspire, motivate, and empower you on a personal level.

How to Rephrase Positive Affirmations
Most people have better success using the “I/My” affirmation format, some people feel that the affirmations don’t work for them and they give up. Affirmations are definitely not a “one size fits all” solution. Please don’t give up. You may simply need to make an adjustment here or there, such as using a different statement format for a while.
Instead of using “I” or “My,” phrase your affirmation so it sounds and feels as if a friend or loved one is saying it about you. This can be very helpful since we tend to believe what others say about us more readily than what we say about ourselves.
If the original positive daily affirmation is, “I am beautiful.” – the new 3rd person format might be written as, “Mary Sue (replace with your name) appreciates the classic beauty of her body.” You can also try, “I like Mary Sue’s classic features.”
