DIY Affirmation Cards

We can all agree that we are living in a unique time. I feel like now more than ever we need the tools to keep a positive attitude for ourselves and loved ones. So, I thought making these affirmation cards might help. I created a free download that you can use as a template, then you can add your own affirmations using any graphic software. After that, just print and cut out.  What do you think? Read on for the detailed tutorial and download!

What Are Daily Affirmations?

Daily Affirmations are positive statements or small notes to yourself that you can use on a daily basis to challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts. If you practice repeating that daily affirmation, you can reap many benefits like:
– self motivation
– boosting positive change
– improving self-esteem
– focusing on goals
Whenever you feel down or resistant to change, this practice can help you navigate these challenges with positivity. This practice is perfect for both adults and kids.

Here Are Some Helpful Tips To Making Your Own Daily Affirmations

1. Use the present tense (e.g. I am…)
2. Be positive
3. Use small sentences for your affirmations
