There are times in our lives when we feel daunted by our circumstances. There are also times when the only problem we face originates within. Affirmations can be a great tool to help pinpoint where we need to focus and move towards a healthy mind, heart, body, and spirit.

The list of affirmations below has been selected from my 1:1 coaching-therapy casework. Looking across a sample of clients for larger patterns, helps me pinpoint themes for our heart and mind integration retreats where we invite people into a safe and nurturing space to do powerful personal development work.

Affirmation Instructions

1. Read over each affirmation. An affirmation is simply a positive belief that is presented as a fact.
2. Present each affirmation to yourself. Reading it out loud is helpful. Notice your initial and instinctual response.
   • Is the given affirmation true for you or not?
   • Do you experience this sometimes, often, or never?
   • Has it always been this way?
3. Note those that already match your current reality or how things are for you. Yay!
4. Then, pick an affirmation that you’d like to work on. I recommend choosing one that will be strengthening to your whole being.
5. Write it out somewhere where you can see it every day. Make it a practice to gently show up to it. Read it out loud and keep testing how it shifts for you.

Healthy Mind

1. To overcome procrastination I love myself enough to say Yes!
2. This is the perfect day to imagine and create a better future for me.
3. Time is my friend. I always have enough time to do what I need.
4. I let go of seeing problems and trust myself to either face each one well or get help.
5. Each moment brings me new opportunities if I can remain flexible in my approach and a bit more patient.

Healthy Heart

1. I choose to see and connect with the love present in this moment/experience/relationship.
2. I begin and end my day by loving and accepting all that I am.
3. As I open my heart to others I also open it to loving myself more.
4. The more I share myself the richer and stronger I become.
5. I am always choosing between fear and love. I choose love because fear disempowers me.

Healthy Body

1. My body is my best friend. It may tell me things I don’t want to hear it but my body loves me.  
2. I make regular time to simply be.
3. Moving my body helps me look after it.
4. I allow my muscles to relax and notice how much easier and lighter I feel when I realize that my body holds me up.
5. I give myself permission to rest and do nothing.

Healthy Spirit

1. I have as much courage as I need to face what is and get through it.
2. I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams.
3. My life’s story is beautiful and I author it with each decision and choice I make.
4. Every decision I make serves my character.
5. I am. I am here now. I am for myself.

Your Next Steps to a Healthy Mind, Heart, Body, and Spirit

While we can do a great deal of personal development work on our own, working in partnership with another person whose nervous system can experience and witness our growth is deeply healing and self-affirming.

I invite you to find someone whose style of work and process can serve you. This could be a friend, a colleague, a coach, a therapist or a mentor. Work together to find your way to a healthy mind, heart, body, and spirit.

Do not wait for the perfect day. That day is now. Take action to connect with another person outside of you. Below are a number of resources we provide that can aid you.
