Holiday Positive Affirmations
I’m going to be completely honest here: I publish new affirmation blog posts every week, plus I fill my Instagram stories with positive affirmations every day, but coming up with a list of holiday positive affirmations has been the most difficult endeavor yet.
When I set out to create this list, it didn’t seem that difficult at first. But very quickly, I realized that these affirmations are a little different than others because every single person reading these has a different relationship to the holidays.
For some, the holidays might be a wonderful gathering of family and loved ones. For others, it might feel a little more lonely. Some may experience major anxiety around the holidays, whether it’s food anxiety, social anxiety, gift-giving anxiety, or something else.
So there is no “one size fits all” affirmation to encompass everyone’s holiday experience.
I’ve divided the affirmations below into five sections: Gratitude & Presence, Family & Loved Ones, Holiday Anxiety, Holiday Food Anxiety, and Quick Go-To Affirmations. Some may be exactly what you need, while others may not fit your experience as well. And that’s okay. Find the ones that resonate the most and allow them to guide you through the holiday season.
Many of the affirmations are created for the day of the holiday, but they can truly be used any day during the holiday season (and after). The quick go-to affirmations are for those times when you need a quick pick-me-up, but you may not have time to either look up or remember one of your longer affirmations. These go-to affirmations are often the ones I lean on when I need to calm my inner world, and they’re just as powerful and profound as the longer affirmations.
I hope these holiday positive affirmations serve and support you throughout the holiday season (and beyond).

35 Positive Affirmations for Health and Fitness
Looking for positive affirmations for health and fitness? The affirmations below are designed to support your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health as well as your total wellbeing.
What is Health?
Health is a far-reaching word that encompasses so many different aspects of our daily lives. You have your physical health, which includes fitness, exercise, and the relationship you have with your body, as well as your body’s ability to fight off illness and disease.
Beyond physical health, there’s mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health. Together, these comprise your total wellbeing.
Total wellbeing is the alignment of mind, body, and spirit. When you want to gauge your current health status, or if you’re looking to improve your health, you can’t just look at one of these aspects; rather, you should look at all of them in relationship with one another.
Exercise is often thought to be beneficial for your physical health, but it actually contributes to your total wellbeing. Benefits of exercise include reduced risk of depression and anxiety; better sleep; increased energy levels; improved brain function; and increased feelings of happiness. (And these are just some of the benefits.)
Meditation, on the other hand, is usually seen as beneficial for your mental and spiritual health, but it actually improves physical health as well by improving your immune system and reducing chronic pain. (Read more about meditation health benefits in my post, 10 Science-Backed Health Benefits of Meditation.)
In the positive affirmations for health and fitness below, you’ll find uplifting statements that address the aspects of your total wellbeing individually and as a whole. When reciting these positive affirmations, I encourage you to not just focus on physical health or mental health, but step into your inherent power by embracing all aspects of your total wellbeing.
And for more details on how to use affirmations, be sure to check out my post, How to Use Affirmations (So They Actually Work).

65 Positive Affirmations for Manifestation
When I first started incorporating positive affirmations into my daily life, I thought they were mostly just a way to boost my self-esteem and make me feel good in the moment. And while they absolutely do those things, I quickly learned that affirmations are so much more than just positive words: they’re powerful statements that have helped me produce near-instant manifestations. Below, I give you 65 positive affirmations for manifestation so you, too, can start manifesting your dream life today. And for even more manifestation affirmations, check out 35 Law of Attraction Affirmations to Manifest Your Dreams.
How to Use Affirmations for Manifestation
If you’re looking for a guide on how to use affirmations for manifestation, I definitely encourage you to read my post, How to Use Affirmations (So They Actually Work). In this post, I break down how to structure your affirmations and provide you with some actionable tips and tricks so you can start using affirmations to uplift, inspire, and feel empowered today.
One thing that I touch upon in the post that I really want to emphasize here is that affirmations are so much more than just words.
In fact, affirmations don’t actually start on your lips, tongue, or even in your brain.
Affirmations begin in your body.
An affirmation such as, “I am worthy,” isn’t just about stating your worthiness. It’s about feeling worthy.
The quickest way to manifest anything into your life is to feel the emotions of your desired manifestation right now.
So if you want to manifest love, then feel deep, unconditional love within. If you want to manifest success, feel successful. If you want to manifest abundance, feel abundant today.
Because at their foundation, that’s what these are affirmations are truly about.
Feel the positive emotions of these affirmations within, and you will begin to see this positivity reflected in your external world.
Manifestation Workbook & Printables
Looking for help to get you started with manifesting your dreams? I’ve created several resources that incorporate powerful exercises and practices to manifest the life your heart truly desires.
The Dreams, Goals & Manifestation Printables are a PDF file filled with 153 content pages that are completely dedicated to helping you manifest your dream life. While you can use this as a workbook, it’s more of a combination between a workbook and a yearly planner in which you get to control the order of the pages and how you want it to look. With these printables, you’ll find multiple calendars, worksheet pages, and goal-setting tools that you can use over and over again, not just month after month but year after year.
For a smaller version of these printables in workbook format, check out The Ultimate Manifestation Workbook.
Future Pacing Affirmations
Before we get into the actual affirmations, let’s first talk about Future Pacing Affirmations and how they can help you in manifestation.
Future Pacing Affirmations are a little different than the standard mindset affirmations you might see on your social media feeds. Future Pacing Affirmations are affirmations in which you assert that your desired manifestation has already come true.
For instance, if you want to manifest ten new clients in your coaching business, you might affirm, “I am a successful coach consistently bringing in new clients who are all so excited to work for me. I’ve surpassed all my expectations and am exceeding my financial goals. I feel so grateful that I get to positively impact other people’s lives while doing a job I truly love.“
It may feel a little weird at first, but I encourage you to keep an open mind. Visualization is a key component in manifestation, and through Future Pacing Affirmations, you’re essentially speaking your visualization aloud.
A few tips: Be specific. In the example above, I could’ve gotten even more specific by saying, “I’m signing five new clients a week and have exceeded my financial goals by $5,000 this month.” And also remember to keep gratitude at the forefront of your mind. Gratitude is truly the key in making Future Pacing Affirmations work. Express your gratitude in your affirmation and make sure to feel that gratitude throughout your body.
Here are a few ways you might start your Future Pacing Affirmations:
- I am so happy and grateful now that I . . .
- Every day, I am becoming more . . .
- I receive so much . . .
- My life is the best it’s ever been because . . .
And here are a few sentences you might include in your Future Pacing Affirmations:
- I am receiving more and more every day.
- My life just keeps getting better.
- I have surpassed all my goals and have exceeded my expectations.
- I am so grateful for this life.
- Miracles and magic are unfolding around me all the time.
- I am in awe of how beautifully everything worked out for me.
- Looking back, I can see how every experience led me to this beautiful moment right now.
- I am so grateful for how everything worked out for my highest good.
Jack Canfield offers some great insight on how to use these types of affirmations here.
Affirmations for Manifestation
The affirmations below are all mindset affirmations that will help you get into a positive state of mind for manifesting your dreams. (Note that some may read more like Future Pacing Affirmations, depending on where you are you in your journey. An example of this is, “My bank account keeps growing constantly,” under the Money section.)
I’ve broken these affirmations into 4 categories: Goals & Dreams, Money, Love, and Body/Health. Note that many of these affirmations can easily be used under other categories, especially the ones under Goals & Dreams.
As you repeat these affirmations, find the ones that resonate most with you. You can write these down, save them to your phone, jot them on post-it notes to stick around your house, or even type them up as notifications on your phone to pop up during your day.
Keep an open mind, and remember to have fun with these. In my experience, the fastest route to a near instant manifestation (like when I was on that bike trainer) has been when I stopped taking myself so seriously and simply allowed myself to be happy.
