There are endless affirmations out there that are all designed to help people achieve their dreams. However, “I am” affirmations are some of the most powerful because they refer the affirmations directly to the speaker.
They are inherently direct as one must position themself at the root of the statement. When you say, “I am smart” there is no way to misinterpret such a statement. This directness proves very effective with affirmations as it forces us to phrase the sentence in a matter-of-fact style. By saying the affirmation as though it were already true and with no room for doubt, you are giving the affirmation more power than you would be otherwise.
Thus, we’ve written several lists of “I am” affirmations. Each of the following lists has a specific intention to help you decide which ones are best for you. If you’ve come here today to build your self-confidence, many of these lists will help you. Or if you’ve sought out this article to stop being so negative then scroll on down to our positivity affirmations. Whatever you wish to work on, you will find something to help you with your journey below.
Getting Started
If you are new to the world of affirmations, do not fear! Affirmations are simple. They use the law of attraction to bring that which you affirm into your life. Essentially, you say a statement as though it was already true and present in your life, and in doing so, you cultivate that affirmation’s energy which attracts more of it, which attracts more of it, and the snowball effect continues.
Now, remember that the more you resonate with the affirmation you are reading out, the more powerful it will be. So, find the subtopics below that you can relate to and that perhaps, you need to work on in your life. Saying the affirmation authentically is one of the most important parts of the process.
It doesn’t matter where or when you recite your affirmations however, we suggest building a habit of it to keep up the momentum. Take them one at a time while sitting as you would to meditate or in your morning shower or on your commute to work. Wherever you can carve out the time to do your affirmation, do it! Taking the time to cultivate positive energy and find direction in your life is one of the highest forms of self-care so what are you waiting for?
I Am Affirmations for Women
Our first list is written specifically for women. Society is tough on women. Women are constantly berated by images of women who are meant to be the “perfect” women.
