78 Morning Affirmations to Manifest Morning Positivity!

Morning affirmations are a powerful and positive way to start your day. Here are 78 positive morning affirmations to set you up for a great day!

Positive affirmations are a profoundly powerful tool.

What are Morning Affirmations?

To affirm something simply means to declare it true, and in the context of personal development, positive affirmations are a profoundly powerful tool. 

Morning affirmations are short, positive statements in the present tense, often beginning with ‘I am’.

While these positive phrases can be used at any time of the day, morning affirmations are specifically designed to be recited soon after you wake up. Nixing negative thoughts and instead leaving you with good things ringing in your head and your heart, you’ll be set up for a fantastic day before you even leave the house.

Learn More About How Good Morning Affirmations Work

Truthfully, when I first started learning about affirmations, I was skeptical about their value. They seemed a little bit pseudo-science nonsense. But having looked into them, that’s just not the case – they’re different to manifestations but in the best way, because they have psychological basis for increasing positive thinking.

A simple explanation that speaks to me is given by Lisa Legault, assistant professor of psychology:

Self-affirmation is the process of reminding yourself of the values and interests “that constitute your true or core self.”

That makes sense, because our values are pivotal to our overall wellbeing.

78 Positive Morning Affirmations to Start Your Day With Positive Thoughts

It’s all about viewing affirmations through the lens of science and psychology.

While I’m all for living an intentional life, seeking your purpose and being open to personal growth and positive change, you won’t find affirmations here about abundance and vibrations.

If that’s your bag then that’s cool, but for me it’s all about viewing affirmations through the lens of science and psychology, and these daily affirmations are designed to fit that context. (In fact, when viewed sensibly with a focus on positive actions, I confess I’m coming round to some of the principles of Law of Attraction.)

Through powerful statements and positive self-talk, you’ll pave the way for an amazing day with positive outcomes.

I’ve included a few at the end which are left for you to complete, so if there’s specific language that I’ve not used but which does resonate with you, you may like to personalise those into your own affirmations. Alternatively please feel free to chop this list up and style it your preferred way!
