How many times have you woken up and felt like there is no point in getting out of bed? Maybe you had a bad workout, maybe you didn’t do well on a test, or maybe you are just having a momentary lapse of low self-confidence.

When we hit hard times like this it can be difficult to look towards the positives or show ourselves the self-love we deserve. So how can you combat this state of mind? Start every day with some positive affirmations.

Whether you choose one, three, or seven of these aspirations, look at yourself in the mirror every morning and recite them to yourself. Make sure to pick a new one each time or find your favorites.

I typically say “I, (insert name)," and choose one of these aspirations. But you’re welcome to stick to a simple “I...” statement.
