Happiness is no doubt the most desired state for every human being on our planet.

It means something different for everyone, but everyone passionately wants to have it.

Whether you know exactly what you need to be a happy person or not at all, you can achieve it with the right mindset! Today I prepared a collection of positive happy affirmations that will absolutely make your life better if you use them right!

Being happy is our birth right, so just accept that you deserve to be happy no matter what!

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Dalai Lama XIV

The power of positive daily affirmations is not some magical trick. They simply trigger the right feelings inside you that empower your brain and set you up for a happy life. Exactly how you imagine it in your most crazy wonderful dreams!

Of course, you can’t just stay in bed the whole day every day imagining being a millionaire. It’s not how it works. You will have to put some effort into achieving your dreams as nobody will do it for you.

Happy affirmations make your dreams more likely to happen by giving you the mental strength and power to succeed. They give you a reason to get up every day and work towards your goals.

Most importantly, they replace your negative thoughts with powerful positive messages that go directly to your brain and stay there if you repeat them often enough.

To support everything I just said, I found this amazing Youtube video that will give you a good example of how positive affirmations can improve your life in so many different ways. Watch it now!

See how amazing it feels when you achieve things you always wanted? Of course, it was through hard work and dedication, but using affirmations gave her the strength to do it all and made her believe that she can.

The book she mentioned in the video is You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. It’s one of my absolute favorite books too: empowering, funny, smart, and full of life! If there was one inspirational book I’d recommend to anyone, it would be this one.

Now, let’s see what you can do to make happy affirmations work for your life!

How To Get The Most Out Of Affirmations

Why so many people are skeptical about positive affirmations? Usually one of two reasons:

• they have never tried saying affirmations so they never understood their power
• they tried, but didn’t do it right or didn’t take it seriously

Here is what I want you to do to make the most of the affirmations to improve YOUR life.

1. Pick affirmations that speak to you from my collection below

Go through my lists of positive affirmations below and pick only those lines that your heart responds to. If you find yourself smiling reading some specific words, add them to your list. It doesn’t have to be a big list: remember that you’ll be saying these affirmations every day. Don’t let positive thoughts overwhelm you before you haven’t even started!

Choose the words that instantly make you feel good. You can tweak them however you want and apply to your life, but try to avoid the words like ‘not’, ‘won’t’ and such.

Form your own list and save it somewhere easily reachable!

It may be on your phone, tablet, or desktop, or any kind of paper reminder. Write post-its. Make a photo or a screenshot and set it as wallpaper on your device. Print it and hang it in your home office for a quick boost of mood when you need it. Bookmark this page in case you’ll want to come back for a fresh perspective and more happiness affirmations to add to your list. Whichever works for you!

Just make sure you can fetch this list in no time when you’re up for an affirmation session or just feeling a bit down.

2. Find a quiet place without distractions

Similar to how it’s important to minimize distractions in the workplace, you need a few minutes of peace to focus and mindfully say your affirmations.

Find a short calm and peaceful moment in your day and use it for setting your mindset up for happiness. If you don’t seem to have time like that, make the time.

Make yourself a priority. You are important! You have to be happy so you can make other people in your life happy too.

If it’s always loud at home, your shower time may be a good place to say your affirmations. Or you may spend a few extra minutes in your car if you go somewhere every day by yourself. Add it to your routine so it’s easier to create a long-term habit.

If nothing else works, wake up just a couple of minutes earlier or go to bed a bit later. Five minutes won’t harm your sleeping patterns, but it will surely make a difference on how you feel on a daily basis.

3. Say your happy affirmations out loud

It may of course work if you just think the words, but it’ll be much more powerful if you actually pronounce them.

Don’t be afraid to sound silly! If you implemented the previous step, there is no one around to judge you. You may even do it in front of the mirror as if you were talking to a friend and convincing them that they are wonderful and deserve a happy life.

But in any case, saying affirmations mentally is better than not saying at all.

4. Practice saying affirmations until you sound confident

Happy affirmations will hardly work if you say them like a chore without thinking or believing. Make sure your heart and mind both hear you saying positive words. Make it believable!

You may even record yourself and listen to how you are saying it as if it wasn’t you! Does this person sound confident? Does it give a feeling that there is a strong belief behind the words?

I’ve listened to so many business and motivational podcasts in recent years that I can usually tell from the first words of an episode if I like the person or not. If I feel the connection or not. Confident voices always hook me right away just because they seem so professional! I never know if they tell the truth, but I don’t really care when they appear as experts and give me the push I need to keep going.

If someone was listening to your affirmations, would you appear self-confident?

5. Practice positive affirmations first thing the morning

Thinking positive as soon as you wake up is an amazing way to start your day!

Imagine that every time you open your eyes in the morning someone looks at you and tells you how beautiful, great, and deserving you are. You’d instantly feel better and it would probably set your mood for the whole day, no matter what’s on your agenda.

So why not be that person for yourself? You can totally improve your own mood by saying all the wonderful things you need to hear!

No wonder a popular author Hal Elrod makes affirmations a big part of his life-changing morning routine. His book The Miracle Morning has impacted more than two million people because of the powerful easy-to-follow morning algorithm he created. There has to be something in it if so many people transformed their lives thanks to it!

As an alternative, you may choose to repeat your happy affirmations right before bed. This way you are setting your intention for the next day to be as happy as it can be. More than that, your dreams most likely are gonna be happier and in some cases reflect what you said during your affirmations. And who knows, you might even get an insight or two in your sleep on how to make your life a better place for you!

It’s important what thoughts you are feeding into your mind because your thoughts create your belief and experiences. You have positive thoughts and you have negative ones too. Nurture your mind with positive thoughts: kindness, empathy, compassion, peace, love, joy, humility, generosity, etc. The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Keep your negative thoughts under control, fill your subconscious with positivity, and enjoy everything life has to offer!
