Your daily practices play a huge role in how you feel, how you show up for yourself and others, and, ultimately, how your life unfolds. By being intentional with your daily practices, you can foster health, happiness, well-being, and success—particularly if your daily practices include affirmations.

Affirmations are short phrases that, when repeated regularly, can act as tools to bring focus to—and, devotees say, ultimately attract—the things you want in your life, whether that’s a thriving career, supportive relationships, or an abundance of self-love and confidence. They’re framed in the affirmative and are phrased as though they’re already true. The idea is that, by repeating them regularly, you’ll actually start to not only believe they’re true, but act as if they’re true—which, eventually, will manifest them into reality and make them true. 

“Affirmations are very powerful because they are based on repetition,” says Antonia Medeiros, an executive life coach that specializes in feminine empowerment. “The more we remind ourselves about our strengths and [areas of focus]…the more we rewire our brain to get one step closer to where we want to be. They are, therefore, one of the necessary tools to overcome the inner obstacles to success.”

But how do affirmations work—and how can you use them to build the life of your dreams? We asked experts—including Medeiros; Bayu Prihandito, personal development coach and founder of Life Architekture; mindset coach, women’s empowerment activist, founder of WANT: Women Against Negative Talk, and author of the upcoming book Want Your Self: Shift Your Self-Talk and Unearth The Strength In Who You Were All Along Katie Horwitch; and Trie Angeleva, career and life coach and owner of Reimagine Monday—for their insights into the different types of daily affirmations for women, why they’re effective, and examples of affirmations you can use to support all parts of your life, from your career to your financial health to your confidence.

Career affirmations

One way to use daily affirmations is to build and support your career.

“Affirmations are excellent tools to support women professionally because they foster clarity,  confidence, and positivity,” Angeleva says. “The result is that women know their value and aren’t afraid to shine; they are clear in what they want from and bring to the work experience; and these types of affirmations support women in bringing a vibrant, magnetic energy to all they do.”

“Affirmations act as positive reinforcements to boost your confidence, focus, and resilience in the workplace,” Prihandito adds. “They help in overcoming self-doubt, improving problem-solving skills, and supporting a growth mindset.”

“Health affirmations reinforce positive behaviors, mental wellness, and emotional stability,” Prihandito says. “They encourage a balanced lifestyle, self-care, and holistic well-being.”

Health-focused affirmations also act as a reminder of how important it is, as women, to take care of ourselves. “Affirmations are essential reminders that if we don’t care for our health, our minds, and our souls, we will not be able to give back and to show up in the world the way we want to,” Medeiros says.
