Are you looking for self-love positive daily affirmations to bring more joy to your day? Here are 20 affirmations to give yourself the love you deserve.
The moment your eyes open in the morning, does the rush of everything on your to-do list have a hold on you? Make lunches, take the kids to school, present at work, meet your deadlines, pay the bills… the list goes on.
How often do you actually take a moment to appreciate all that you do and to give yourself a pat on the back? It’s a lot of work taking care of yourself and the people that you love. You’re likely showering those around you with love, but do you ever tell yourself those self-love positive daily affirmations?
My Own Experience with Burnout and Lack of Self-Support
When I was in the thick of burnout, the last thing I felt capable of was finding positive words of affirmation and saying them to myself. Forget about believing them. I felt like I was already picking up the fragments of everything else in my life. And there was nothing left in my tank.
But looking back, even just focusing on one self-love positive daily affirmation could have been something to hold onto. To lift me up. Because after all, our health isn’t just physical, it’s our mental and emotional well-being too.
So, I’ve created a list of 20 self-love positive affirmations for women to help you on your journey toward more self-love, self-compassion, and inner joy.
Remember, small steps can get you to the top of the mountain.
Research Around Positive Affirmations
Research shows that “affirmations can decrease stress, increase well being, improve academic performance and make people more open to behavior change.” There is also a connection between affirmation and neural reward pathways. So even just a minute each day devoted to these affirmations can lead to positive changes mentally.

Why These Affirmations are Important
Women are often the hardest on themselves. Imagine saying some of the things you say to yourself to a friend instead. Would you feel comfortable saying them? Or have you gotten too comfortable with negative self-talk?
Unfortunately, the negative inner voice women have is all too common. It’s draining and unnecessary and blunts you from being your best self. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t change that narrative and learn to be your own best friend.
Taking Action with Affirmations
Use gratitude and self-love as a way to find the light during darker times. At the beginning or end of each day, write down or verbalize one positive affirmation.
If there is an affirmation that really resonates, stick to only one for a while. Then move onto another when the timing feels right. I’d love to hear which affirmation resonated the most with you!
