Harnessing the Power of Morning Affirmations
Morning affirmations can have an incredibly powerful effect on your life. In just a couple of minutes a day, you can actually rewire your neural pathways to develop more positive thought patterns.
It’s through consistency and repetition that we can retrain ourselves to think in the positive instead of the negative. Therefore, it’s super important that these morning affirmations become a part of your daily routine.
Here’s how you can make morning affirmations for positive thinking a daily practice:
- Choose your affirmations: You can select from a list (like the one below) or write your own.
- Print or write out your daily affirmations: Bonus points if you make them pretty!
- Post them somewhere that you regularly are in the mornings: Ideally your morning affirmations should be in an area that’s already part of your routine like on your bathroom mirror or next to your coffee machine.
- Spend 5 minutes reading them aloud: Read through the list of affirmations and repeat until your 5 minutes are up. Take your time really listening to yourself and feeling the emotions behind each affirmation.
Incorporating Morning Affirmations into Your Routine
The most difficult part of morning affirmations for positive thinking is remembering to do them. By incorporating them into your existing routine and habit-stacking them with an existing daily practice, you can make it easier to remember to do them while the habit is still developing.
Tip:
It’s much easier to remember to do something if we set up a visual reminder. By printing out your affirmations and putting them somewhere you’ll see them everyday, you can give yourself a visual cue to help for the habit.
Ideas for where to put your printed affirmations:
- On your bathroom mirror. Recite your affirmations while brushing your teeth, doing your skincare, or your makeup.
- In your shower. Laminated affirmations make the perfect addition to your shower routine.
- By your coffee maker. Repeat your affirmations while making your morning coffee.
You may notice that some affirmations mean more to you or are more powerful than others. Every month, you may want to refresh your list, keeping some of your favorites and swapping in some new ones.
Understanding the Science Behind Affirmations
Affirmations do not get the credit they deserve. Many people may put them in the same bucket as crystals, tarot cards, or new moon rituals, but affirmations have serious scientific research to back up their effectiveness.
The Influence of Positive Affirmations on Neural Pathways
Positive affirmations can actually influence the brain’s neuroplasticity. What is neuroplasticity? It’s the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new connections between the different aspects of life. By reciting positive affirmations, you can rewire and strengthen existing pathways (or patterns of thought).
The Role of Affirmations in Shaping Beliefs and Behavior
Positive affirmations also play a role in shaping beliefs and behaviors. They can change our perceptions about ourselves. When you constantly repeat the affirmations, they gradually sink into your subconscious mind, challenging your self-doubts.

Additional Practices for Incorporating Positive Thinking into Your Morning Routine
If you’re looking to get even more out of your morning routine, there are several other mindfulness practices that you can incorporate into your day for increased positivity and self-love:
- Intention Setting: One of my favorite ways to start the day is by thinking of an intention to carry with me throughout the day. It can be anything from giving more compliments to eating healthy or moving your body.
- Meditation: At this point, we’re probably all a little sick of hearing all the benefits of meditation but it’s so popular for a reason. If you’re feeling intimidated, start with a short guided meditation and work your way up from there.
- Journalling: One of my non-negotiable morning practices is journalling. I like the “morning pages” method where you write stream of consciousness for three pages. It really forces you to be honest with yourself and stay accountable to your goals.
- Gratitude Practice: An easy and extremely effective practice is just listing the things you are grateful for. It’s proven to shift your mind from a place of scarcity to one of abundance.
