How to Use Affirmations for Success: Helpful Tips and Trick

Start Your Day with a Mindset Reset

As Jade Lovein talks about in THIS episode of DITL with Paige Port, we’re totaalllyyy morning people. Not only that, we’re also bigbelievers that your morning can set the tone for your entire day. For example, start with positive morning affirmations and watch your energy shift. 

Oh, and afterwards, tune into “How to Use Red Light Therapy, Infrared Saunas, & Cold Plunges for Longevity, Mood, & Beauty” from The Art of Being Well. Seriously, we’re helping you level up your life one small hack at a time. 

Anyway! There’s actual science behind morning affirmations. After a good night’s sleep, your mind is more open and receptive to positive messages. Ultimately, though, it reinforces your subconscious mind, training your brain to laser-focus on strengths and potential—not weaknesses and downfalls.

Choose Words That Truly Resonate

Dear Gabby said it first in “What I Learned About Vulnerability from Jay Shetty, Mel Robbins, & Lewis Howes”—the words you speak and think truly have power. And many don’t even realize! That’s why it’s sooo important to leave negative beliefs behind and keep that inner narrative positive.  

When you’re laying out your affirmations, pick ones that feel true to you. Not only does it help you feel more motivated and encouraged, but it’s also more effective! Let your words serve as a powerful guide—authentic, clear, and uniquely your own.

Keep Things Positive, Present, and Powerful

Keeping things present tense is essential. Think about it like this: saying something in the future is like… a distant promise. If you repeat, “I will be successful,” or “I will thrive in my career,” who knows when that will be? (Yeah, the universe is picky—we get it.)

But when you say “I AM,” you’re signaling to your subconscious that you want to work on your desires ASAP. It makes it feel like reality—not like you’re throwing a shot in the dark and hoping it lands. Listen to “Words the Samis Are Living By” from Transform for an easy, real-life example!

Write Them Down (Yes, Physically)

Have you ever heard someone say that “writing it down” helps things stick better? It’s true! You’re essentially DIYing a brain rewire, strengthening beneficial neuron connections and weakening negative ones. Yeah, buh-bye, bad habits!

So, take a few minutes every morning to open your Dream Life journal and write out your affirmations. The more you write, the more you read them over, and the more you repeat? Those affirmations become intentional, and your confidence blossoms.

Repeat It Like You Mean It

Anyone can write something down, repeat it a bunch of times, and move on with their day. No intention, no dedication, and no f*ck to give. Let’s be real: nothing is gonna come from that. In order for your affirmations to truly work, you have to say ‘em like you mean it. 

Repeat each affirmation with genuine emotion, conviction, and confidence. When you mean what you say and say what you mean, things just click for your nervous system. Authenticity is the GOLD standard here. For more on this, check out “Listen to This If You’re Craving a Deeper Relationship with Yourself” from Real Pod.

Visualize While You Speak

We’ve given you a lot of guidelines so far, and they’re all sooo important. One of the most important of all, though, is visualization. In fact, Beyond the Mat has an episode ALL about this. It’s titled “Transform Your Mindset and Design Your Future Self with Mimi Bouchard.”

When you visualize the things you want, you’re totally immersing your mind and body in these beliefs. It’s like watching a little movie in your head—except it’s your dream life and you’re actually paving the way for it. You’re also waving that white flag to your subconscious that says, “Hey, anything that looks like my affirmations? Snag it.” 

Customize Affirmations for Goals

So you know from earlier that it’s uber-important to choose your words wisely. With this, though, you have to create affirmations for YOUR unique goals. For example, we provided you with a super useful list at the beginning of this post. But if those don’t particularly apply to the place you’re in? Customize things!

Maybe you listened to “How to Build a Disruptive Brand” from The Bossticks and are craving a career transition. Or, maybe you heard “The Leighton Meester Episode” from The World’s First Podcastand are craving a Leighton-Adam love story.

Wherever your desires lie, channel them and find or create an affirmation that resonates with them. You make the rules here; your subconscious just follows.

Use Triggers to Make It a Habit

Turning something into a routine can be hard—especially if you have a million and one things on your plate already. However, maintain this mindset: affirmations are self-care, and they’re just as important as all your other steps.

That said, it’s sooo much easier to anchor affirmations to something already IN your routine. Do them before coffee, after your morning skincare, during your mid-day snack—whatever works for you and will stick. “Practical Ways to Manage Stress and Balance a Busy Life” from Life with Marianna feels like a masterclass in this.

You can also skip all the guesswork and just read our post, “Best Morning Routine for Success.”

Track Progress and Adjust

As powerful as affirmations are, change won’t happen overnight. So, as time goes on, reevaluate and course correct! See what’s working for you, what’s bringing you down, and revamp when necessary. You can always swap out daily affirmations for something that better aligns with different life stages.

Also, tracking progress is the BEST way to see how far you’ve come. There’s something special about looking at an affirmation from 6 months prior and being like… “Wow, this IS my life now.” Listen to THIS episode of The Wellness Process to hear more about long-term, sustainable change.

Believe, Commit, Repeat

If you’ve learned anything, let it be this: the real magic of affirmations comes from consistency and alignment. In order to get to where you want and what you want, you have to be willing to work hard. 

No off days, no giving up because you’re not seeing immediate results, and no “I’m just doing this because I feel like I have to” moments. Keep your affirmations aligned and remember the end goal: a happier you and a more successful life.

Affirmations aren’t just fun phrases—they’re life-changing tools that lead you to success.

Feeling inspired yet? As soon as you learn how easy it truly is to achieve your goals through affirmations, you’ll never stop. And remember: YOU are powerful. YOU are in control. And your thoughts and intentions are your reality. Dream it, speak it out loud, write it in your journal, and visualize it. Your life of success and abundance is just one easy step away.
