I’m a climate optimist, so I’m a big believer in starting the day off on a positive note. Positive affirmations in the morning can help you find a little more encouragement to take on the day ahead.
While I agree there is such a thing as toxic positivity, I also think there’s value in finding joy in life. I also tend to notice it’s very hard to feel motivated to create social and environmental change when you’re feeling down and upset. After all, both Mikaela Loach and Leah Thomas continue to affirm joy fuels positive activism.
Constantly being bombarded with hard to hear news about droughts, floods, forest fires, and social inequities can truly eat away at you. It can cause you to give in to climate doomism where you believe we’re past the point of being able to do anything about climate change. But it’s not too late.
This coupled with personal issues and feelings, like depression and anxiety, don’t make for a good combination. Whatever you’re struggling with, my hope is that these morning affirmation quotes will give you the pick me up you need.
Let these morning positive affirmations facilitate healing, and kindness to yourself. You can pick and choose which you’d like to say to yourself, or say the whole thing.
Use these morning affirmations for positive energy to start your day with, and feel free to adjust them any way you see fit. You can write them in your journal, or just bookmark this page and come back to it whenever you need it.
how do I start daily affirmations?
Begin by setting aside some time for yourself, even if it’s just 5 minutes in your morning. Bookmarking this post will help you have a clear reference of potential morning affirmations.
Next, just speak the affirmations out loud. You can choose 5-10 you really like, and repeat them as many times as you need. I suggest choosing ones that resonate most with you, or ones that will better help you tackle the tasks at hand for the day.
If you’d like, you could even choose to say all the affirmations on this list in one go. It’s truly up to you, and there’s no wrong way to approach this.
The idea is to meditate on the words, really feel their weight, and manifest what it is they’re saying. It helps set an intention for the day, giving you added confidence and peace of mind.
is it better to write or say affirmations?
Most people say affirmations out loud, as this is typically easier. However, you can feel free to write down a few of your favorite affirmations if it helps you better remember them. You can read them aloud as you go.
If you prefer to write your affirmations, you can grab a notebook of your choice and practice writing a few of your favorite affirmations from this list 5-10 times each. Say them in your head as you do and take the time to think about their meaning, letting yourself feel it.
