Daily Affirmations for 1/5/19

Why a few words can change your day

Affirmations arent magic spells theyre reminders. They help you slow down, notice what matters, and make small choices that add up. Saying something kind and true about yourself or your day shifts your focus away from worry and toward what you can do next.

How to use these affirmations

1. Take a deep breath and choose 3 to 5 affirmations that resonate.
2. Say them slowly, either aloud or in your head. Repeat each one 35 times.
3. Pair the words with a simple action a stretch, a sip of water, or placing a hand over your heart.
4. Return to them when you need to reset: before work, during a break, or before bed.

Morning affirmations (start your day)

• Today I choose what I can control and let go of what I cant.
• I am capable of handling what comes my way.
• I will notice small wins and celebrate them.
• I bring calm and clarity to my tasks.
• I show up with kindness to myself and others.

Midday affirmations (reset and refocus)

• I breathe slowly and find my center.
• My energy is renewed by small pauses.
• I can change direction when needed and still be okay.
• I am open to solutions and new ideas.
• I choose progress over perfection.

Evening affirmations (reflect and restore)

• I did my best today with the resources I had.
• I forgive myself where I fell short and learn from it.
• I release worry and welcome restful sleep.
• I am grateful for at least three things from today.
• I allow myself to recharge so I can meet tomorrow with strength.

Short prompts to pair with your affirmations

Try one of these quick actions after repeating an affirmation:

• Write the affirmation once on a sticky note and place it where youll see it.
• Close your eyes for 30 seconds and picture one small win for the day.
• Take five slow breaths and imagine tension leaving your body each time you exhale.

Final note

Affirmations work best when they feel believable. If a phrase sounds too far from the truth, soften it: add words like Im learning or Im open to. The goal is steady care, not instant change. Use today 1/5/19 as a gentle checkpoint. Keep what helps you and let the rest go.
