If you’ve read any of my recent lifestyle posts, especially my “For Anyone Struggling with the Unknown” post, you know I’m going through a big of a transitional time right now. I recently graduated with a master’s degree and I’m now on the hunt for a job! While I’m excited to see what the future holds for me, I find myself getting disheartened. I feel like I’ve applied to just about every job listing in my area. I haven’t, not even close, but sometimes it feels like there aren’t any jobs left to apply to. And even with all those applications and resumes, I feel like I’m getting nowhere. I know that’s not true, but it’s hard not to let the negativity sneak in sometimes, ya know? 
Anyway, this has me thinking more about affirmations, positivity, and changing my mindset. Thinking positively can be hard, I know. When you’re going through your hardest times, the last thing you want to hear is, “there’s always a silver lining!” Because that’s not necessarily true. Sometimes you need to feel your hardships for what they are and honor you emotions in order to move through them. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you’re in that place right now, I promise you, it won’t last forever! You will get through it! And if you’re in a place right now where you are wanting to focus on improving your positive mindset, well I’m right there with you.
I want this post to serve as a resource for all of us. If you’re working through your emotions as I mentioned above, I want this post to be a tool you can use when you’re working on moving forward. If you’re already super positive, I hope you are able to refer back to this post for inspiration. And if you’re like me, in a weird place in your life where you’re not really sure what’s going on or what’s to come, I want this post ot help you, too. I want these affirmations to help you be comfortable in your unknown and weirdness and know that it really will all work out like it’s supposed to.

Why Affirmations?
These are the affirmations I need on a regular basis. They provide me with guidance, comfort, and confidence. They have helped me, and continue to help me, focus on having a positive mindset. No, I’m not Miss Chipper all the time. I have my days. We all do. But what they do help me with is focusing on the good. These affirmations help me realize that there really is something to look forward to every day. That I’m only human. That each day is a blessing. And my goodness, that’s powerful.
That’s why I wanted to share these with you. I want you to see the good in yourself and in your life. I want you to live positively and fulfillingly. Because you are human. You are incredible. You are you and that is your superpower. Don’t let anyone or anything let you believe any differently.
Just what I needed today, I think I’d like to print them and put them on my work station . love this post <3
I’m so glad this could help you! Please feel free to do so! Thank you for checking it out!
Love, love, love affirmations!! They can be a powerful force of day to day inspiration, coping and working towards a more positive and healthy future. My favorite is “Be Bold & Mighty Forces Shall Come To Thy Aid”…. Cause, well, we should all think and dream big about our lives, right? 🙂
Oh my gosh I love that one so much! I couldn’t agree more!
Intend to use some of your affirmations and make up a few of my own to improve my life.
I hope you find them helpful! 🙂
Simple but clear affirmations. Love it!

Great read. Many positive things and thoughts in one blog. Must needed things to read at this time. Thanks for sharing so much positivity.

This is wonderful and exactly what I need right now Xo I’ve been trying include and start my day off with affirmations, and so far they have been me a lot!
I’m so glad to hear that affirmations have been helping you too! 🙂
I started journaling recently with the Five Minute Journal and one question they ask is a daily affirmation. I’ve noticed just writing it down every day really makes a difference!
I’ve heard wonderful things about that journal and have been considering getting one! I’m glad it’s helping you!
Sometimes life puts things in your life that you need at the moment to help you on your journey! I am so glad to add these affirmations!
You are so right! Hope your journey is going well 🙂
The fourth one is really something that I need to say to myself and actually believe. I have a hard time trusting the future because (obviously) I don’t know what’s going to happen and the fact that things could just not go to plan is really scary to me. But there’s something exhilarating about going with the flow.
Lovely post! x

I think we all have our days and it passes. Having a couple of affirmations that work for you is very helpful. Regarding your job hunt. It took my daughter a year or more to find a job in Melbourne after graduation. It is competitive out there and you need to be resourceful to get through to the companies. Just keep at it, believe in yourself and it will happen. Every day is a new day and you only need one job! Go girl!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Having affirmations definitely helps me keep a positive mindset, especially through the long and frustrating process of finding a job. And you’re so right. You have to be persistent and resourceful! And I’m definitely working on it! Thank you for your tips!
Positive affirmations always bring a peaceful life…affirmations are just like self talk…you should speak more positive words to yourself which will your brain take as a language to work on. This way we can achieve any task and find a real happiness into life.
I couldn’t agree more! I’m working really hard to keep up with positive affirmations and self talk for that exact reason!
Positivity is something that i strive for on a daily basis. These positive affirmations fall right into my line of thinking. I really like number 2 and number 13. Reminding myself that I can handle anything that comes my way gives me comfort. Thanks for sharing these.
It definitely helps me too! As does staying positive in general. I’m so glad these affirmations fit with your line of thinking 🙂
This is awesome I really need to read this today! It has been quite the day and positive affirmations are very much appreciated.
I’m sorry you had a rough day! I hope the rest of your week is much better!
Sometimes we need to be reminded of our worth and our possibilities. I love how affirmations help with that. Thanks for this colletion!
Unfortunately we do forget that sometimes, but I think affirmations are definitely helpful! Thanks for checking it out!
These are some great little tips to keep in mind 🙂
thank you! I hope they help you too!
