2017 is a great year for Self-Love

Going into a new year is exciting, full of possibility and potential! But don't forget; every morning you wake up holds that same potential. Every morning you can start anew. Every moment you can create a more positive energy and outlook for your life. Whether you have never heard of positive affirmations or are a veteran self lover; here are 17 affirmations to help you conquer 2017 and master self love.


For the Curious Beginner:

So maybe you're new to this, congratulations! Welcome to the wonderful self love club, we are honored to have you. Self love can be intimidating, we all know how intense and powerful love is, but you totally go this! To get started keep it simple, it's easier to convince yourself of little lovely truths that will soon snowball into magnificent facts that you are confident to shout from the rooftops! These are a few of the first sweet nothings I would quietly whisper to myself when I first started:

1. I am going to be ok.

2. I am Enough.

3. I am Worthy.

4. I am going to be better.

5. I can do this.

For the Blossoming Self Lover:

Maybe you aren't new to self love and you have been dabbling in it for a while. Now is the time for strong and simple words. You have everything you need within you, take a moment to highlight some traits that have been in the dark for too long and get ready to let your soul shine!

6. I am Smart.

7. I am Kind.

8. I am Strong.

9. I am Capable.

10. I am Awesome.

For the Confident Adventurer:

Maybe you're already rocking it pretty well on the self love front, get it baby! Maybe you are trying this level of confidence for the first time. The key to confidence is knowing you've got it all. Everything you want to be or need in your life is already all there. Start believing in your abilities and watch your confidence and amazingness grow. You already have it all, stop searching, you have it! Believe it!

11. I am a Wonder to Behold.

12. I am Amazing to All.

13. I am Badass!

For the Fucking Fearless:

Maybe you have been a Self Love member for a while now, it's fun, right? Maybe you are just ready to be done with believing the bullshit lies you've been telling yourself for years. Either way, within you in greatness. Within you is so much beauty, love, and everything you have been looking for out in the world. You have it all, rock it!

14. I am so fucking Loved!

15. I am so fucking Loving!

16. I am so fucking Perfect in this Moment!

17. I love you so fucking much me!

You have the Power

This year, don't look outside to fulfill what you are craving and needing to fill whatever gap you are experiencing in life. You have everything you need, it's all been waiting for you to shine a light on it. Allow more light into your soul to help it grow. Love is so powerful! Empower yourself and those around you by loving yourself more this year. Everything in life will unfold before you the more you love you shower on yourself and spill onto others.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
