Each day brings a new onslaught of tasks, activities and emotions that we need to cope with. Making good and smart choices can help people navigate through these challenging times a bit easier. By telling yourself this simple mantra, you can encourage yourself to make the right choices and trust your instincts while doing so.

4. I Give Myself Room To Grow

Although you have the power to make the right choices, it’s completely OK if something goes wrong, since the universe is so unpredictable. With that being said, another motto to keep in mind is that you always have more room to grow. Whether it’s recovering from a mishap or even learning something new, giving yourself the space to grow into a better person is crucial when it comes to self-care.

Moving forward means learning to let go of the past, and part of that is learning the act of forgiveness. According to Mayo Clinic, forgiveness can help lead to feelings of understanding, compassion and empathy.

6. I Am Courageous

Having courage can be a catalyst to leadership and accomplishments, according to Uva Darden, so try incorporating this saying into your daily affirmations to help with your forward progression.

7. My Life Is Just Beginning

No matter what your age is or what place you are at in life, it is never too late to start something new. Having a positive outlook on life can help with your overall optimism about your future.

HuffPost reported that tapping into your natural gifts can help you hone in on your talents. Once you figure out what those talents are, you can work on further developing them and incorporate them more in your daily life. This can keep you occupied and maybe even distracted from the not-so-happy parts of your life, therefore aiding with your overall self-care.

9. I Deserve Happiness

If you want to be happy, it’s a good idea to surround yourself with happy people. According to WebMD, you can “catch” others’ emotions, meaning that by keeping happy people in your life, you will most likely be a happier person yourself.

As much as we all want to do everything on our own, and these affirmations can help boost your overall confidence and optimism, it’s never a bad idea to ask for help when needed. Caring for yourself means understanding your limitations and knowing when you need an extra hand. According to WebMD, talking to someone about your struggles can help show you a different perspective and help you with tackling your problems, and even give your mood the nice boost it deserves.

You can use any of these 10 affirmations or even come up with your own, so long as they are in the present tense. Berkeley Wellbeing explained that using the present tense helps with shifting your beliefs, making it easier for you to believe in the affirmations you tell yourself.
