Affirmation to Use During Your Break Up

We see the term affirmations bouncing around the Internet a lot. Affirmations are typically an “I am” statement that helps reinforce something positive in us or something that we’re striving for. They can be used to help us change our mindset towards our body, towards money, towards our career, and I also believe they can be super valuable in break ups. 

Break ups can really do a number on our perspective, they make our entire world look extremely dark and take away our positivity and faith for the future. That’s why affirmations can be such a valuable tool in helping shift that perspective. 

You can utilize the affirmations below in a couple different ways- traditionally they’re said outloud so you can hear yourself saying them, but my favorite way is to write them down every morning in my journal. The key to this is consistency, I would also write them down on a post it note and stick it at my desk so I can see it all day. Take some time to figure out what works for you. 

Last note: Some of these might not feel “genuine” to you, meaning you don’t believe them yet. That’s ok! That’s another great way to use affirmations to help you “act as if” you believe these things until your heart catches up.
