13 Affirmations for the New Year That Will Change Your Life

Affirmations are statements that affect the conscious and subconscious mind.
Affirmations are a powerful way to move towards evolution of self. I use to be profoundly suspicious of affirmations. I thought speaking affirmations to be an act reserved for spiritual weirdos who float above clouds and have lost touch with planet earth.

After I read Acts of Faith by Iyanla Vanzant, I conjured up the nerve to create and recite affirmations some years ago. Surprisingly, I learned when I would recite my affirmations regularly I felt extremely motivated. My self-esteem skyrocketed to a healthy equilibrium. One pattern that makes self-love and motivation difficult to attain is the habit of thinking negative thoughts. Affirmations carry the power to disrupt negative thoughts when spoken regularly.

I would later incorporate mental images as I spoke my affirmations followed by action; the end result was an abundance of blessings surfaced into my life. I also felt more positive and inspired as I greeted the world each day.

I repeat affirmations throughout the day. Affirm followed by action is my motto. You can't recite affirmations and sit waiting for a magic genie to grant you three wishes. The energy and motivation you receive as a result of affirming that which you believe to be true should move you into action.

As we move into a New Year, here are 13 affirmations I've created that will lead you into a fabulous New Year:

1
All of my actions are aimed at obtaining success beyond any perceived limitations.

2
I release worry from my mind, body, and soul. I change the outcome of circumstances I can control and those challenges I can't change, I simply release into the universe.

3
I am intentionally and purposefully creative. My creative energy connects with other creative energies and we create for the greater good of the universe.

4
I am in charge of my life. No one has power over my decision-making. I am not powerless to act. In fact, I am endowed with more than enough resources to ignite change.

5
My magnetic energy draws fabulous people into my world.
