Having a close-knit group of supportive people in our lives is vital for our wellbeing. And truly appreciating the deep and strong bonds we form is pivotal to the success and endurance of friendships.

We all experience relationship troubles at times, for a variety of reasons; but healthy friendships shouldn’t be hard work. Sometimes simply taking the time to recognise the value and importance of our social life can help to cement and reinforce the connection we have with the amazing people in our lives.

Unlike family members, friends are the loved ones we choose to have in our lives.

Other times, a friendship is simply not meant to last.

Either way, the friendship affirmations below are perfect to help you celebrate treasured friends, and make peace with those associations that may have splintered, or which are dysfunctional.

The Value of Friendships

Friendships are sometimes the best people and most important relationships in our lives – unlike family members, they’re the loved ones we choose to have in our lives after all.

The strength of a friendship is measured not by the disagreement, but by the way those involved seek to repair the relationship.

This can put a lot of pressure on those relationships to be all and be perfect, which is not entirely realistic, nor healthy! But, the other side of the coin is that they are also incredibly precious unions which we tend to place an enormous amount of value on.

The best way to ensure our most cherished friendships endure is to make the time to be thankful for them, so we never lose sight of their importance and the great things they bring to our lives.

A true and loyal friend is worth a dozen acquaintances!

And on those occasions when a social situation is strained? The strength of a friendship is measured not by the disagreement, but by the way those involved seek to repair the relationship.

If a friend is worth having, they’re worth keeping. And if they’re worth keeping, there’s always a way to heal any rift.

  7. You may like to print out your affirmations and stick them somewhere conspicuous as a reminder.
  8. Assess your progress after a couple of weeks. If you feel that you’ve realised your goal and achieved a positive shift in your outlook or perspective, introduce new affirmations to your practice, alongside or to replace the original few.
  9. Enjoy the benefits of practicing affirmations!
