2020 Daily Affirmations

Wondering what a simple, human-friendly set of daily affirmations for 2020 might look like? Youre in the right place. Below Ill share why daily affirmations work, how to use them in a way that actually sticks, and a tidy list of affirmations you can pick from and adapt to your life.

Why use daily affirmations?

Affirmations arent magic spells. Theyre short, positive statements that help you notice and change the repetitive thoughts that shape your mood and behavior. Said out loud or written down every day, they nudge your brain toward new habits of thinking. The trick is to keep them believable, present tense, and specific enough that you can feel them when you say them.

How to make them work for you

• Pick 35 that feel true or nearly true; dont overload yourself.
• Say them out loud in the morning and again at night. If you can, say them while looking in the mirror.
• Write them down. Even a short sticky note on your desk helps.
• Pair them with a small action (5 minutes of journaling, a breath exercise, a walk). Actions anchor the words.
• Tweak the language so it fits your voicemake them natural and short.

How to write your own

Use present tense, positive wording, and keep it short. Replace I will with I am, avoid negatives, and make it believable. Instead of I am a millionaire, try I manage my money wisely and grow my security.
