The start of a new year is the perfect time to take stock of your life and make resolutions to become the best version of yourself.
But instead of setting lofty goals that may be difficult to achieve, why not try something different?
Start the year off right by using New Year affirmations—positive, uplifting statements—to help you manifest an amazing 2023 and make it the best year ever (because we could all seriously go for that after the last few years).
Sound like a plan?
Read on to find out how affirmations can be used as powerful tools in manifesting the life you want.
What Are Positive Affirmations?
Affirmations are positive statements that focus on what we want to bring into our lives rather than what we don’t want.
By speaking these words aloud or writing them down, we can start to reprogram our subconscious mind and shift our perspectives from focusing on negative thoughts focusing on to positive thoughts.
Using daily affirmations has been shown to foster a more positive outlook on life leading to increased confidence and motivation.

Why Use Affirmations?
Affirmations are great tools for self-improvement because they help put us in the right frame of mind.
When we are constantly repeating positive statements about ourselves, it makes us more likely to take action toward achieving our goals rather than staying stuck in a negative mindset.
By using affirmations as part of your daily routine, you can create an atmosphere where productivity thrives and obstacles become easier to overcome.
Why Should I Focus On Affirmations And Not A New Year’s Resolution?
A New Year’s resolution can be a statement of intent, but it often lacks follow-through.
Affirmations are a better way to have a great year because they are powerful statements that are spoken in the present tense and therefore suggest to your subconscious mind that what you are saying is already true.
When you say this enough times, you’ll start to ‘trick’ your brain into believing what you say.
For example, if your affirmation is “I am grateful for my healthy and strong body” then your brain will look for ways to reaffirm to you that you have a healthy and strong body (and could even encourage your to choose a healthy lunch option instead of the leftover cake you’ve been eyeing off).
This means that using affirmations could lead to a higher likelihood of creating positive changes that stick, as opposed to a new year resolution (that is statistically likely for you to quit before the end of January).
