My Summer Affirmations – Celebrating Who We Are + 20 Self Love Affirmations

Summer is fast approaching here in the UK, as we are starting to see blue skies and regular sunshine. This year I am all about the positive vibes, improving my health and fitness, focusing on myself and the things that make me happy. Self-love affirmations are a simple tool you can use to gain more love for yourself. They can be used every day and by repeating them, you will build your self-esteem and confidence, accepting that you are worthy of love. It’s important to release the negative energy and welcome in more consistent positive thoughts.

Keeping a thoughts journal

This year I set myself a small goal of keeping up with a bullet journal – it is something I genuinely enjoy and want to focus on. Every month I have at least one quote page and I pick a positive quote to write into my journal. Every morning or evening (or both), take some time out to write your top 5-10 self-love affirmations in your journal. Writing by hand, instead of typing, can actually be quite powerful. Consider what it is you want to focus on over summer. How are you going to promote self-love? Is your challenge to yourself to meet new people? Perhaps you are looking for love, which can be a daunting process anyway but particularly for those of us who have a disability. Niche dating websites such as disabled singles dating are a good place to start, as mainstream apps and websites can be overwhelming.

Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people.

My Summer Affirmations

Having an anxiety disorder means I have experienced anxiety for the majority of my life. Anxiety doesn’t go away, but depending on the different parts of your life it can get better – but it can also worsen. As you get older and experience life, you pick up coping techniques. What works for you may not work for someone else, everyone is different and their experiences may also be different. When choosing your affirmations, it is best just to pick a few. Here are some examples of my personal summer affirmations:

• I am surrounded by love.
• Being myself is enough.
• My anxiety disorder does not run my life.
• I am proud of who I am becoming.
• I trust my intuition.
• I am constantly growing, evolving and becoming my best self.
