How to post them on Tumblr (practical tips)

  1. Text post or image? Short affirmations work great as image posts with aesthetic backgrounds. Use text posts for longer thoughts or threads.
  2. Design tools: Canva, Procreate, Photoshop, or free phone apps. Use legible fonts and good contrast so your words are readable on mobile.
  3. Vibe match: Pick colors, textures, and fonts that match the mood pastel backgrounds for soft lines, grain and high-contrast for grunge looks.
  4. Keep them short: One-liners and very short sentences get reblogged more. Aim for 38 words for maximum shareability, or a short 1012 word line.
  5. Use tags: Tag your post with relevant keywords so people searching for affirmations or aesthetics can find it (examples below).
  6. Consistency: Posting a themed series (e.g., "Daily Soft Affirmation") builds followers who come back for the aesthetic + message.
  7. Credit & originality: If you adapt a popular quote, credit the source when known. Original micro-poetry helps your blog stand out.

Formatting tips for image affirmations

  • Combine a photo background with semi-opaque overlays for readable text.
  • Try a consistent layout (same font + placement) so followers instantly recognize your posts.
  • Save images at mobile-friendly sizes Tumblr readers are often on phones.

Examples you can copy-paste

Ready-made captions for your posts:

"Today I will be gentle with my progress." use with a warm pastel photo.
