You don’t need to take a class or cite a study to know that positive thinking is a powerful tool. Harboring negative emotions, even unconsciously, can affect your mental health and influence your actions. Living in a world that’s frequently focused on comparison and judgment is even more difficult. Because so many of our feelings toward something are manifested subconsciously, it’s difficult to do a mental 180 when it comes to thoughts on a situation, no matter how you try!
An affirmation can be a great way to tackle a nagging negative feeling and transform it into something that you benefit and grow from. Simply by reading inspiring words, I feel a sense of peace and confidence. Like a friend that gives you all the right advice just when you need it, affirmations can provide the positive reinforcement we need when no one’s around.
I’ve rounded up 25 motivational affirmations that reinforce positive thinking and self-love.. because we could all use a little more of both :)
- I possess the qualities needed to be extremely successful.
- My ability to conquer my challenges is limitless; my potential to succeed is infinite.
- The answer is right before me. Even if I do not see it.
- I trust myself. (It seems so simple but is usually needed most when making difficult decisions!)
- I kindly ask for help and guidance if I cannot see a better way.
- Everything that is happening now is happening for the ultimate good.
- I compare myself only to my highest self.
- I press on because I believe in my path.
- I trust myself to make wise decisions.
- I radiate self-love and self-acceptance.
- I am constantly evolving and growing.
- I am empowered to pursue my dreams.
- I face challenges with courage and grace.
- I am open to new opportunities and experiences.
- I am a source of inspiration to others.
- I let go of self-doubt and embrace self-confidence.
- I am worthy of success and achievement.
- I attract love, joy, and prosperity.
- I release negative thoughts and embrace positivity.

Hi, Tamera!
I really needed this today. I was feeling down and decided to visit your website for the first time because you’re like my all time inspiration, I want to be a strong, Godly, and inspirational woman just like you one day. I started watching snippets of The Real on Youtube and you are by far my favorite. I am a 19 year old Christian female who was trying to decide if I should do the right thing and wait til marriage to have sex. In this world it seems as if that is frowned upon and I actually thought that no man would be able to do that. But it was you, after hearing your story, that gave me the example and assurance that it is possible and women like you do exist. I just admire the way you carry yourself as a woman. And I am working on myself everyday to be just as great. Thank you for being that example for me and I’m sure other young ladies out there.
Sincerely,
Milika Van Powell
Hi I’m a student at Howard University. My time here has been an adventure. Everyday I find a person that inspires me when I am feeling uncertain about something. So, I always remind myself that GOD PLACE ME AT HOWARD FOR A PURPOSE! Everything that I do matters and I am content with myself. I remind myself that if there is something that I don’t feel comfortable with, I try to identify the problem, find alternatives, compare the alternatives, and implement the alternative. Thank you for having this website! Love it!!
Your #3 reminded me that we should live by faith and not by sight. No, we may not see the future right in front of us, but God said that he has plans for us. To give us hope and a future. So even when I can’t see success in my future, I know that God doesn’t want me to fail and that if I pursue him, he will have my back. I love your posts, Tamera! You inspire me so much.
