Daily affirmations anyone? Please share yours!

Ive started doing it after listening to a talk in positive psychology.

Affirmations first thing on waking (said aloud)
Just for today, I'm willing to treat my body in a nourishing, respectful way and accept that there is always beauty in me, no matter what I tell myself.

I am willing to see how it feels to accept love and do my best to understand myself and put myself first - and I mean FIRST!

Please share yours!

I don't have one. I think the key is to make working out and eating better a lifestyle, a routine. When your body is used to the routine, it just does it.
Good luck.

Agreed! Still the positive psychology has convinced me about the effectiveness of affirmations and 3 small things I'm grateful everyday for my life as a whole. I do feel better when I do them (I suffer from depression, body dysmorphia and had an eating disorder for most of my life).

There was a thread dedicated to affirmations can't remember which forum. But here is one I like. Every action I take leads me toward my desired body.
You only lose the battle when you stop trying.

Right now, my favorite for exercise is-- 'Every day is a good day for getting out of your comfort zone'. I was down because I wasn't doing the programs I'd set for myself due to experimenting with new activities and I'm trying to get out of that all-or-nothing mindset. All exercise is good exercise

Daily affirmations got me through a difficult divorce and getting my self esteem right. Back then I listened and repeated on my way too and from work in the car on the tape deck. Now I have no tape deck and the particular tapes that got me through are only available that way. So I downloaded the APP ThinkUp, I record them in my own voice and I usually play them on low at night before bed, it helps me relax.

Mine is simply 'I can do this'

Good topic - my daily affirmation for the last year has been "the only person you can count on is yourself." It reminds me that while I have support of friends and family, I am the one in control of my decisions and actions. I have to take ownership of what I do and the consequences (either good or bad). Motivation and willpower have to come from within in order to be sustainable. My two cents

Mine is my background on my work computer so I see it all day, and it keeps me on track. "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it, the time will pass anyways"

I have two.

What other people think of me is none of my business.

For the times mental toughness is waning I enjoy "looking good,feeling good,oughtta be in Hollywood." Really important you say that one with outrageous enthusiasm

Oh I like this thread!!!!!! Mine for a while now is "one good choice at a time" ....

I will change my positive affirmations up often daily. Strongly believe in renewing my own mind to reprogram it. Our thoughts become our beliefs, and attitudes and actions. I also write positive talk down by hand (not type like this) to reinforce and strengthen the neural connections.....

I am strong, I am fit, I love exercise. I am disciplined, I love to run. I love to eat healthy plant based foods. I face challenges and I conquer them. I know that discipline and my decisions determine my day, my week, my life, my destiny. I am making positive and healthy choices. I am a positive person and I enjoy encouraging others. I will walk for lunch, and I will run this evening. I will eat healthy foods that will nourish my body. This is a great day, and I love life!

Loved reading everyone's affirmations. I'm still learning how to use MFP and didn't know there were replies to it

@GuineaKitty love it! I'm copying it and it's in my list now.

@LenGray I needed it! I'm scared of getting out of mine too. I'll repeat that to myself! Every day is a good day for getting out of your comfort zone'

@StarvingDiva I wish I had heard of affirmations when I went through my divorce! I'll check this App up. Never heard of it. Thank you

bluets2011

@sofchak so true.... friends and family support, but in the end is up to us!

bluets2011

@laurenebargar that's a good place to have your affirmation :-)

bluets2011

@dontgobacktosleep I read it in a loud voice and could feel the enthusiasm!!!

bluets2011

@ChasDomenici and doing just one thing at a time we will get there!

bluets2011

@KeepRunningFatboy borrowing your affirmations!!!! I like to stick to mine for sometime till they sink in :-)

Love this! It's so important to be positive and start the day right. I have these cards that have an affirmation, mantra and intention and pick 1 of each daily. Really helps me to reset and stay positive when I have a lot of stuff going on!
