Your Personal Daily Positive Thoughts
1.
“I have the power to accomplish
everything I set out to do today.”
Many of us have been
conditioned to be self-critical instead of appreciating our own ability to make
it through challenges. When faced with setbacks, we tend to question our
ability to cope.
It’s time to adopt a new
mindset. Rather than putting yourself down, believe that you are capable of overcoming all obstacles in your path.
2.
“The Universe is always on my side.”
We all attract
experiences that confirm our beliefs. So, if you think that the world is out to
get you, you will definitely experience things that validate this thought.
The same is true if you
believe there is goodness in the world. If you are open to this thought, you
attract positive synchronicity in your everyday experiences, and things go more
smoothly.
3.
“I am full of potential.”
Have you experienced days when nothing seems to go right? When we have days like this, it’s easy to berate ourselves and think we’re not good enough. But that is only true if you believe it to be.
Counter this thought by affirming that there are still opportunities for you to discover around you and within you. Move forward. Believe in your own possibilities.
4.
“My courage is stronger than my fear.”
We are currently faced
with a lot of uncertainty, and it’s only natural to feel afraid. However, we
should not allow fear to control us and prevent us from taking appropriate
action.
There are several
benefits of facing our fears:
5.
“Every day may not be good, but there is
something good in every day.”
We need to find ways to
lessen our anxiety, particularly at this difficult time. One way to do this is
by paying attention to things we can be
thankful for. Studies show that keeping track of the things we are
grateful for is good for our health.
A good way to get into
the thankfulness habit is by keeping a gratitude journal. If you need help to
get started, check out these 120
journal prompts to cultivate more thankfulness in your life.
6.
“I radiate love in my life.”
This doesn’t necessarily
refer to love in a romantic sense. Instead, we are encouraging you to recognize
the value of life.
More importantly, we
invite you to be a transmitter of positivity. You can start doing this by
learning how to let go of bitterness and anger.
7.
“I deserve a healthy body and sound mind.”
We used to put a premium
on hard work, sacrificing our health and well-being in the name of ambition.
However, many of us have now come to understand the undesirable effects of this
approach, including burnouts, mental breakdowns, and fatigue.
In order to really
succeed, you must never compromise your health. Remember to take care of your
body with the right exercise and proper diet. Take mental-health breaks as
needed. You deserve to be healthy, especially during this trying time.
8.
“Good things are happening in my life.”
Sometimes, it’s easy to
get stuck on the negatives—especially when going through a difficult situation.
We tend to overlook the
areas of our lives where we have much to be thankful for. If we acknowledge
that there are good things happening to us, it becomes easier to spot these
positives in our lives.
Here’s a challenge for
you: For the next seven days, at bedtime, identify at least two good things
that you experienced throughout the day. By doing so, you can enhance the positivity
in your life.
9.
“I choose to let go of the hurt and be
healed.”
Letting go of the past is often difficult, especially if we have been
badly hurt. But to constantly relive the pain prevents us from experiencing
real happiness.
The thought above allows you to let go of a painful past. By choosing to let go, you become free, which helps you find peace of mind and true healing.
10.
“I welcome happiness into my life.”
Sometimes we suffer
needlessly, thinking that we deserve pain. Perhaps this is a conditioning we developed
in childhood, especially if we’ve had a traumatic experience at the hands of
our primary caregivers.
However, as the saying
goes, “Your history does not define your
destiny.” You can choose how to live your life moving forward. Why not
choose to be happy today?
11.
“I approve of myself exactly as I am.”
Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life, believes that
the path to happiness lies in our total acceptance of ourselves exactly as we
are. But this is usually easier said than done.
Many of us suffer from impostor syndrome. Others find the concept of self-love silly.
However, if we want to develop positivity, we need to begin appreciating who we
are, flaws and all.
12.
“Everything is unfolding as it should.”
We often worry about how
we’re doing in life right now. Many of us hurry through life, stressed out
because we’re not successful enough, rich enough, or popular enough.
But if you believe that
everything in your life will fall into place eventually, you no longer have to
be anxious about anything. Have faith—you’ll get there at the right time.
13.
“Today is a good day to celebrate.”
Being alive today is a
cause for celebration. Having a roof over your head is a very good reason to be
joyful. Having access to clean running water and electricity is reason enough to
be in a festive mood.
Don’t take life for
granted. Celebrate everything that you have.
14.
“This, too, shall pass.”
Not too long ago, the entire world was freaked out at the thoughts of pandemic and lockdown. Many countries declared a state of emergency, and the financial sector has been hit hard. The health sector was overburdened, and some were saying this is the end of life as we know it.
We should not dwell on these fear-driven thoughts. Instead, let’s focus on what’s true. Just like a storm, this crisis will one day be over. Hold onto this thought as we continue to wait. The Pandemic sucked, but it is mostly over now, and has little impact on our day-to-day life.
15.
“I deserve love.”
Many people go through life thinking that they are unlovable. Because of this, they attract situations and relationships where they experience rejection.
To counter this, they
need to learn how to love themselves. This self-love is not a narcissistic
thing—it is the beginning of healing and true happiness.
Need some tips on how to
love yourself more? This post provides
suggestions on how you can fearlessly cultivate self-love.
16.
“I am capable of achieving my goals.”
There are several reasons why people
procrastinate. When
left unchecked, this tendency can easily become a habit. To counter this, we
need to adopt good time-management habits that encourage the proper use of our
time.
A little discipline on
our part goes a long way toward creating good habits. It also pays to tap into
our inner resources and believe that we are capable of change.
17.
“I trust my intuition and always make
wise decisions.”
Do you tend to
second-guess yourself? Are you the type who often needs all the facts before
making a decision?
Take a break from overthinking and learn how to listen to what your instincts are telling you. Listening to your intuition is the ultimate act of trust you can show yourself. (Here are some tips to help you stop overthinking your relationship.)
18.
“I have value and purpose.”
You have something
unique and valuable to offer the world. When you learn to see your own value
and believe in it, you are inspiring others to see their own worth as well.
Respect your struggles.
Believe in your own limitless potential.
19.
“I slept and I dreamed that life is all
joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service
is joy.” – Kahlil Gibran
If you’ve lost your
sense of purpose and wonder what life is really about, consider getting out of
your comfort zone and being of service to others. For many, volunteer work
becomes a gateway for self-discovery.
This quote from Kahlil
Gibran suggests that being of service might be a way to find true happiness.
20.
“My confidence grows as I step out of my
comfort zone.”
Although it is a scary notion, stepping out of our comfort zones is the only way for us to grow.
Challenges at work, school, or in our personal lives can be uncomfortable, so we often try to avoid confrontations as much as possible. However, these conflicts may be something that we need to go through in order to reach a higher level of maturity and wisdom.
21.
“I trust the process of life to bring me
my highest good.”
Instead of viewing a
crisis as a threat, allow it to reveal opportunities to you.
If you have ever gone
through a trying period in your life, you may not have expected to cope as well
as you did. However, after you experienced those trials, you may have realized
that you were strong, resilient, and capable.
22.
“I deserve the best.”
This is similar to
knowing your value. When you know your worth and believe in it, you are no
longer willing to settle. You distance yourself from situations where your
self-worth is diminished. Instead, you choose to be surrounded by people and
experiences that respect and celebrate your true worth.
23.
“The first step is you have to say that
you can.” – Will Smith
Believe that you can do
it. Be your own cheerleader. If you have to fake it till you make it for
awhile, then do so. Just keep doing whatever you have to do to get to where you
want to go.
Most importantly,
believe that you can do it.
24.
“I am in charge of my life.”
If you allow others to
dictate how you live your life, what happens to you when those people are gone?
No one else can write your story for you.
Take charge of your
destiny. Give yourself permission to live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
25.
“I choose to be kind.”
It is easy to spread
negativity. For many people, it is easier to hate than understand. They hold
grudges and never trust anyone.
It’s not a surprise that, in our society, kindness if often considered a weakness, when in fact it is a strength. Being kind helps change the world for the better.
26.
“I am working to be the best version of
me.”
Do not diminish your own
efforts at working towards becoming a better person. If you have decided to cultivate
good habits, then that’s a reason for celebration!
27.
“I am surrounded by beauty.”
It’s so easy to complain
and criticize when things are not going our way. However, by doing so, we
actually infuse our lives with a lot of negativity, until complaining becomes a
destructive habit.
To counter this, we need
to be mindful of the good, the positive, and the beautiful around us. Sometime,
these are not immediately obvious, and require us to look closer. Nevertheless,
always aim to see the positive side of things.
28.
“Asking for help does not diminish my worth.”
We are often afraid to
ask for help for fear of being thought of as weak or incapable. But sometimes
it is important to ask for help when we need it.
Our worth is not
diminished by needing assistance. Instead, we have the opportunity to learn from
those who we lean upon.
Daily
Positive Thoughts About Work

“I am valued in my workplace.”
It never feels good when
your efforts seem to go unnoticed at work. But if you sometimes doubt the
contribution you’re making in your workplace, this positive affirmation can
keep insecurities about your career at bay.
In addition to using
this thought as a personal mantra for the workplace, the following actions can
also give you peace of mind about the status of your career:
30.
“I attract respect.”
Are you concerned that
you are not receiving the level of respect that you deserve, or that you’re
giving your colleagues? Perhaps now is the time to assert yourself.
Share your ideas during
meetings. Voice your opinion when the opportunity presents itself. Become
visible in the workplace in a positive way, and you’ll surely attract the

CEO of a corporation to make an impact. Doing your job well is a wonderful
contribution you can make, no matter what kind of work you do.
33.
“I am investing in myself because I am
worth it.”
Although you may be
dedicated to your work, it is also important to remember to take care of your
health. It is only by being healthy that you will be able to do your work well.
Take advantage of days
off to regroup, de-stress, and do activities that promote self-love.

dream of.”

your dreams with this daily reminder. You may encounter challenges along the

for helpful suggestions on the supplies you need in order to create your first
vision board.
36.
“My work is inspiring and fulfilling.”
In an ideal world,
everybody would work at their dream job. However, in reality, a lot of people
are dissatisfied with their work.
Perhaps you also feel
uninspired with the work that you do. If so, remind yourself that in the
current economic climate, having a job is a blessing.
To feel excited about going
to work, try using this positive mantra every morning as you commute to your
workplace. Repeat it to yourself as often as necessary.
37.
“I make a positive contribution with the
work that flows from my hands.”
Your contribution at
work does not have to be limited to what’s listed in your job description. You
can also strive to be the person who boosts your department’s morale.
You can be a source of
positivity in a high-stress environment. Show up, lend a hand, and be willing
to go the extra mile.
38.

share what I know with the world.”
Here is another thought
that can inspire you, no matter what kind of work you do. It reminds you that
you can always make a positive impact. Do your work well and the world will
benefit from your expertise.
39.
“I am learning something new every day.”
Highly successful people
never stop learning. It is actually this growth mindset that allows them to reach great heights in
their fields.
Your job is a wonderful
opportunity to learn something new every day. The knowledge
you gain can be directly related to your responsibilities in the workplace, or
it might be a new set of soft skills.
Whatever it is, it will
help you stand out.
40.
“Challenges help me become a stronger
person.”
Challenges are meant to
change us and make us better versions of ourselves. When we encounter challenges,
our resilience and resourcefulness are tested.
Ultimately, overcoming
challenges makes us stronger. It’s good to be reminded of this whenever we’re
faced with difficulties at work.
41.
“My ability to conquer challenges is
limitless.”
Believe that you can
overcome obstacles that come your way. You need to trust in your abilities to work
through these challenges.
More importantly, if you
are currently feeling overwhelmed, it is a good idea to ask for help. No one
will think you are weak for doing so.
Daily
Positive Thoughts About Abundance and Prosperity
42.
“I focus on things I am thankful for.”
Instead of focusing on
what you lack in life, try to direct your attention to things that you already
have. You will soon realize that there may be a lot of things that you have
taken for granted.
This thought allows you
to zero in on things that matter.
43.
“Money has a positive impact on my life.”
Many of us have an
uneasy relationship with money. Often, we don’t know how to manage our funds.
You can use this
positive thought to improve your money habits and develop a more positive relationship with
the money that you have.
44.
“Wealth constantly flows in my life.”
Some people operate with a scarcity mindset. They feel cheated when they learn of other people’s success, and constantly compare themselves with others.
If you have a tendency
toward a scarcity mindset, you can counter it with this affirming thought.
Choose to believe that your needs will be taken care of.
45.
“I am open to receiving prosperity in my
life.”
If you are operating
through a scarcity mindset, you will feel that you never have enough, no matter
how wealthy you are.
To experience true
prosperity, you should visualize yourself receiving prosperity. This way, you
open yourself to the other benefits of true wealth: generosity and joy.
46.
“All my needs are met.”
If you are feeling
restricted in your life, you can tap into real prosperity with this thought.
Believe that all your day-to-day needs are being met.
If you want, you can
write this thought down and place it in a prominent spot so you are constantly
reminded that you need never experience scarcity in any form.
47.
“I set my financial goals and I achieve
them.”
Whether you’re aiming to
pay off your credit card bill, preparing for retirement, or saving up for a

to our personal income. May this thought encourage you to be resourceful in
looking for ways to earn additional income.
49.

you need to get rid of your scarcity mindset. Instead, believe that abundance
is already flowing in your life.
50.

now.”
Realize
that if you are healthy and you can look forward to what tomorrow may bring,
then you have everything you need in life. Believe in yourself. Never give up
in times of challenges, and believe that everything you need will be provided.
51.
“I invite gratitude into my life.”
Let the Law of
Attraction work to bring abundance into your life. One way of doing this is by
living a life filled with gratitude for every experience you have.
To document your journey to grateful living, we suggest you keeping a gratitude journal for your daily positive thoughts.
Positive
Thoughts for the End of the Day
52.
“The day is now in the past, and I let it
be.”
There will be days when
you feel that you could have done more with the 24 hours given to you. Some
days, you’ll experience frustration at things that don’t go your way.
Nevertheless, if you’ve
done the best you could with the opportunity presented to you, you can rest
easy at the end of the day. Tomorrow is a chance to do better. Let today’s
lessons sink in. Allow today’s frustrations to melt away with this affirming
thought.
53.
“I can rest easy knowing that I did the
best I could today.”
There’s no need to fret
about things that were out of your control today. What’s important is that you
did the best that you could.
54.
“I am at peace.”
Mindfulness helps us achieve inner peace, and being
present lowers your stress levels. It takes your mind away from overthinking
and rumination, promotes better immunity, and improves memory.
To reap all these benefits, you can begin by declaring your intention to be at peace, regardless of what goes on around you. Think daily positive thoughts.
55.
“All is well in my world.”
This thought is another
way to achieve inner peace. When you declare that all is well in your life, you
are attracting situations, relationships, and experiences that validate this thought.
56.
“I am learning and growing each day.”
Each day brings us
learning experiences. When we embrace these experiences, they help us grow. And
growth is the point of all this. Don’t pass up the opportunity to learn from
your daily encounters.
57.
“I made a positive contribution to the
world today.”
We can’t emphasize this
enough: You have something unique to
offer the world.
Live with intention.
Infuse your day-to-day interactions with sincerity.
Even though you are not
aware of it, you’re making an impact on someone else’s life.
58.
“I look forward to what the morning
brings.”
When faced with uncertainty,
we tend to focus on the negative. We become more stressed out, and we are prone
to making unwise decisions.
To counter this, you might want to list at least a couple of things that excite and motivate you to get up in the morning. Work on these things and give them attention.
You’ll likely feel invigorated for the entire day because you have a sense of purpose. Take time to think of these actions and start your day with some daily positive thoughts.
59.
“I am grateful for all the people who
make my life meaningful.”
Everyone who becomes a
part of your life gives you a gift. Be grateful to all of these people for
enriching your life.
60.
“I move upward and forward.”
Travel unencumbered. Let
go of past hurts and resentments. Choose to move forward, ready to meet what
life has in store.
61.
“I am loved and capable of giving love.”
The greatest thing we
can do in this world is to love others and ourselves. It is an important commitment
that will help us cope with whatever challenges we face.
Use this thought as a
reassuring conclusion at the close of the day.
The Habit of
Positive Thinking
We all
want to be happier and live a more rewarding life. But sometimes it’s hard to
remember the important things in life when we’re faced with the challenges and
pressures of everyday existence.
Nevertheless,
positivity has a host of benefits, especially for your health. Studies show
that positive thinking can actually give you a longer lifespan. And the
more you focus on the positive aspects of your experiences and think in
positive terms, the faster you will manifest the things you want in your life.
To
experience for yourself the effects of positivity in your life, how about
taking a 30-day challenge where you think predominantly positive thoughts?
I actually
tried this habit for 30 days. Here’s what I did:
This was a
very simple exercise, but oddly enough it has become my favorite habit I’ve
developed this year.
Final Words
on Positive Thoughts
Whether you’re in the
midst of a crisis or things are going just fine, having positive thoughts is
beneficial for your health and well-being. This helps you increase your ability
to cope with crisis when it arises, whether it’s a personal one or something
that affects the entire world.
In order to reap the
benefits of a positive mindset, it is necessary to believe that your thoughts
work to manifest what you want in life.
You also need to develop the habit of thinking in positive terms. Try to take time for daily positive thoughts every day. Perhaps what you can do is set aside a certain time each day to contemplate the things you are most thankful for. An easy way to do this is writing in a gratitude journal.
It is only when we dwell on positivity that we move closer to true
happiness and peace of mind.
