About ten years ago or so I didn’t even know what an affirmation was or how they even worked. Then I hit rock bottom and out of nowhere, poof, I found all these wonderful and awesome daily affirmations for success to help me dig my way out of the hell I was living.
If you’re there now, I know exactly how you feel.
For the record, anyone can hit rock bottom at any age, and rock bottom means a lot of different things to everyone. But you don’t need daily affirmations just when you hit rock bottom. They’re also great to have when you need to boost your self-confidence!
We all need a little boost and some encouragement, no matter who you are or how old you are. It’s just good for our soul.

Do daily affirmations really work??
So as a self-proclaimed ‘self-help guru,’ I get asked this one question an awful lot. Do affirmations really work?
Well. I always answer with a resounding YES, affirmations really do work BUT you gotta know how to work them.
I’m going to give you three ways right now so that you are using affirmations the right way. The way to make them work for you!!
How to make affirmations work
Here are a few super effective and powerful tips to ensure your daily affirmations for success work for you.
Step 1
Write it out. Whether you want to write them out on a Post-it note or fill your whiteboard with them, find a place to write them so you can see them every day, all damn day!
When you write them out, feel every word you are writing. Feel joy and hope and faith!!!
Step 2
Read them as often as you can but read them with gusto!! For example, when you read out one like “I am a successful writer,” read it like this > ” I AM a damn successful writer!!!!” Declare it! Feel those words, baby!!
Read them every day a million times a day if you have to but make sure you feel and believe every damn word. Let the emotions sink in.
How will you feel when you become a successful writer?? Feel that!!!
I love this video on how to make affirmations work for you. I watch a lot of motivational videos on YouTube, and this one is really good!!
Step 3
Every time you have a negative thought, go back to these powerful affirmations and read 3 of them out loud! For every one negative thought, I want you to replace it with 3 positive ones. Period. Stop your negative thoughts dead in their tracks and shout out 3 positive things!!
And by the way, they’re called daily affirmations for success for a reason. You need to say at least some of them every day!

Repeating powerful daily affirmations does work!
The point and science behind repeating positive affirmations daily is to retrain and rewire our brains. So many of us have so many negative thoughts. Many have been plugged in since childhood, and we haven’t been able to shake them off.
We are full of limiting beliefs because we were told things like:
- you’re not smart enough
- you’ll never succeed
- you’re too stupid
- you’re such a failure
- you’ll never amount to anything
Any of those sound familiar? I heard them an awful lot, and it took me a really long time to rewire my brain to shut them out and replace those negative words with phrases like these ones:
- I’m so awesome
- I can do anything
- I am capable of learning new things
- I’m friggin amazing
Fun ones like that and like some of the ones listed below in my list of 30 best affirmations for success. But I had to repeat these over and over again. It sounds like you’re lying at first, and you don’t really believe yourself, but after a while, you do, and you feel like a friggin rockstar!!
So how long does it take for affirmations to work?
I also hear this question so many times.
“How long does it take for affirmations to work, Iva”???
Honestly, it’s up to you and how much effort you put into repeating your success affirmations (or any affirmations, really).
The most important part of affirmations is to believe them with every ounce of your being. Knowing that without a shadow of a doubt, what you are saying and repeating will happen is on its way, and things are always working out for you.
You really have to feel it and declare it. But most importantly, you absolutely MUST STOP all negative thinking!! They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit, so if you are consistent in retraining your brain, all good things will come to you in 21 days!!
Now I can’t guarantee that, but it’s a good base to start with!
So I’ve babbled enough, I think. Let’s get to the best affirmations for success!!

Why we sometimes need success affirmations
Because let’s face it, we’re not positive and happy every second of the day. Sometimes we fall into slumps and feel helpless and worthless.
We feel nothing we’re doing is working for us, and we feel defeated.
And then all the negativity sets in and we feel like throwing in the towel. You can’t do that. Ever!!! Did I ever tell you about the time I bought a hair salon and had to close it after 3 years because it was dying a slow death (and then I later had to declare bankruptcy)?
You know what, ya, it sucked a lot, but it didn’t stop me from forging ahead and continuing on the path of success.
I didn’t let this one setback stop me or make me feel like a loser. I’m not a loser. I never was. I’m a survivor, a fighter, a warrior, a winner!!!!!
And so are you!
