30 Affirmations For Growth And Accountability

“Having positive affirmations, especially as a black woman, will only make you a better person!”

Every day I wake up to the reality that I am raising a young black queen and serve as a guide to approximately 175 youth each year. That is a considerable role that took me a while to sit with, and the responsibility that comes with that is both immense and fulfilling.

Affirmations are a tool that I use to pour into my soul and the people I have been blessed to occupy space with. When you walk into my home, it is not surprising to see a wall of sticky notes( if you have heard me speak on any panel you know about my sticky note obsession and practices are an entire vibe) full of affirmations, motivational quotes, scriptures, and my action items. Through this pandemic, I have found myself sharing these daily affirmations via twitter or my Instagram stories, and one of my followers requested that I just put them all in one place.

When self-doubt allows those mind monsters to creep in, and you find yourself questioning and second-guessing not only your choices but who you are, here are 30 affirmations that I have come across and use in my daily practice that can remind you of your self-worth. Not only should you use these on yourself but to affirm others as well.

I am a magnet for blessings.
I am free to create my OWN reality. I have choices in all situations. Nothing stands between me and my highest good.
I overcome fears by following my dreams.
My mistakes don't define me. I will trust the process and celebrate myself for my progress. I am putting forth a genuine effort and will recognize that that is enough.
I am love. I am purpose. I was made with divine intention.
I am worthy of love. There is nothing that can change that. I was born worthy.
I love myself, unconditionally.
My possibilities are endless.
There is something in this world that only I can do. That is why I am here.
I release my need to impress others. I know that I have nothing to prove. I choose to accept myself just the way I am!
I belong in any space I walk in to.
I will surround myself with positive people. If there are people in my life who try to disturb or threaten my peace, leading with love, I will remove them from my space and focus on the souls I share a genuine connection with.
You are uniquely gifted.
Your faith in yourself and your mission will take you far. Take the faith and courage of the ancestors with you. Do it scared; courage is feeling fear and taking action anyway.
I am my best source of inspiration.
I choose to live a rich and full life.
My sexuality is sacred, and I create healthy relationships. I deserve to experience life's pleasures.
I give myself space to grow and learn.
I am filled with joy, happiness, and love.
I am becoming a better version of myself each day.
I celebrate my victories and embrace my failures as opportunities to learn and grow.
My brown skin is beautiful, and it even absorbs sunlight!
I was built this way for a reason, so I'm going to use it (Simon Biles)
I Matter.
Don't get stuck.
I deserve to evolve.
Feelings are your personal property.
I critically question and reject negative stereotypes and society's lowered expectations of black leaders.
I feed my spirit. I train my body. I focus my mind. It's my time.
I embrace my full potential, even if it makes others feel uncomfortable. I am meant to do big things. I embrace that.
