50 Affirmations For Depression To Lift Your Spirits
Looking for the best affirmations for depression? These 50 depression affirmations will help you uplift your spirits.
Let’s chat about affirmations for depression.
People often hear the term “affirmations” and assume it is some woo-woo concept. That it is all about repeating words to yourself that you don’t truly believe.
But this is NOT how affirmations for depression work my friend.
Affirmations are defined as positive statements that you repeat either out loud or inside your head. They are said with full belief, affirming the sentence to be true.
This is not about wishful thinking but instead about harnessing the power of the thoughts we choose to repeat to ourselves on a daily basis.
The reality is all our thoughts – both positive and negative – when repeated often enough bring to life particularly results in our life.
This is because our thoughts influence our feelings, which in turn influence our actions and results. This domino effect is always in play and indicates that your outer world is usually a reflection of your inner world. So to change your results in life you absolutely need to work backwards and decide first:
WHAT ACTIONS DO I NEED TO TAKE TO ACHIEVE THE RESULTS I WANT IN LIFE?
HOW WOULD I NEED TO BE FEELING TO TAKE THOSE ACTIONS AND WHAT THOUGHTS MUST I FIRST THINK IN ORDER TO FEEL THIS WAY?
In this article you will find 50 affirmations for depression that I have carefully chosen for you to help you create change and achieve the results you want in life.
Please don’t gloss over this list quickly. There is SO MUCH POWER here for you to tap into if you embrace these affirmations on a consistent basis. Write these affirmations out. Repeat them to yourself every morning and before you go to sleep each night.
Allow your mind to open up to the truth of these statements. They are true WHEN YOU BELIEVE THEM TO BE TRUE, with every fibre of your body.
If there are some statements that don’t resonate with you – that’s okay. Skip over those and focus on the ones that feel most true to you right now.
I promise you, your life will change when you embrace these affirmations daily and allow them to inspire and motivate you. Because when you feel inspired and motivated, hopeful and bold, THAT IS WHEN YOU WILL BEGIN TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT CREATE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE.
So without further ado, here are the 50 best affirmations for depression that you can begin to embrace and make your own today.
