Affirmations to Improve a Mental Health Reset

If during a life reset you are more interested in improving your mental and emotional 
health, you might want to use affirmations. These are a wonderful addition to your 
mental health routine, as they can help you with your mindset, both in good times and in 
difficult times.


Understanding Why Affirmations Work

Affirmations are positive statements or phrases that help you experience happy, 
uplifting, optimistic, inspiring, motivational, and positive emotions. They can be used in 
so many different ways, but during a reset, they help you to stay in a place of inspiration 
when it comes to making positive changes in your life.

Affirmations are going to help put you into a positive mindset. In the beginning, it often 
feels silly and like it isn’t helping, but you are using positive reinforcement. The more 
you say these affirmations to yourself out loud, the more you start to believe them. 
Telling yourself more positive things than negative things can turn everything around in 
ways you might not have imagined.


Ways to Use Affirmations

Not sure how to use your affirmations? Here are a few ideas:

Write a new affirmation down in your journal every day – Since every day is 
different, you probably need a different type of motivation each day as well. You can 
write an affirmation every morning while writing in your journal, that you will remember 
and repeat to yourself whenever you need to.

Put them on your bathroom mirror to repeat regularly – If you tend to forget to use 
your affirmations, put them somewhere you pass by regularly. This might be your 
bathroom mirror or on your refrigerator. Every time you see them, read them to yourself 
or out loud. It is a great reminder to use them.

Read them out loud whenever you need a boost of confidence – Bring affirmations 
with you that you have noticed help you the most, and say them to yourself out loud 
when you need that boost.


Choosing the Right Affirmations for You

Before you can get started, you need to choose the right kinds of affirmations. 
Remember they should be short enough to write down or remember and repeat back to 
yourself, be simple, and be positive. Here are some examples:

I am worthy of love and affection.
I am courageous and confident.
I can do anything I put my mind to.
I am responsible with money. 
I hold the power to my own happiness.
