What Are Morning Affirmations?

While waking up in the morning can be tough, adding a positive affirmation to your morning routine can help get your day started on the right foot.

In short, morning affirmations are positive thoughts and/or affirmative beliefs. You speak them to yourself, in front of a mirror ideally. You should be using the first person — I, me, my, myself.

You repeat them over and over to yourself to help you reshape any beliefs that may be limiting you in your day or your life.

People use positive morning affirmations to provide positive energy during tough times, as part of their daily routines, to push away negative beliefs during exercise, to spur a feeling of happiness, and for all sorts of other reasons.

There are some fantastic examples of mindful affirmations in the book Morning Affirmations: 200 Phrases for an Intentional and Openhearted Start to Your Day by Jennifer Williamson.

But while you wait for your book to arrive, Snoozerville has got you covered with this comprehensive list.

How Do Morning Affirmations Work? The Science.

If you’re reading this article, chances are that you’ve probably heard about the power of morning affirmations. But what does science say?

Science says they work!

Studies show that when people add morning affirmations to their daily lives, there are significant mental and physical benefits.

According to lead researcher Christopher Cascio,

“Many studies have shown that these circuits can do things like dampen pain and help us maintain balance in the face of threats.”

In our unpredictable modern world, positive affirmations can make you feel less powerless.

And if you’re someone who feels negatively about your body, studies show that adding affirmations into your daily routine can decrease negative emotions toward the body.

With all of that being said, if you feel like you may be suffering from morning depression or another psychological issue beyond just “not being a morning person”, it’s best to seek help from a professional because these affirmations do not work for everyone. The power of positive thinking can’t solve it all.
