I recently got into using affirmations for my depression symptoms. It is amazing how much saying a few words in a mirror of a morning or through out the day can change your mindset.
Using these affirmations for depression will not work at first. You need to continue implementing it. Say these affirmations every single day, as many times as you need. Eventually you will say these things so much that they will become your truth.
As soon as any bad thoughts start taking over your mind, push it aside with these affirmations. Get into a habit of doing this and you won’t regret it. Trust me.
I would recommend coming up with a few of your own that relate to your experiences and feelings. Here are a few of my favourites that I personally use:
“I am good enough!”
“ I am so strong. I have been through so much to get to where I am.”
“I am worthy of love and an amazing life.”
“I am loved”
“My opinion and voice matters.”
“I love myself and my body.”
“I believe in myself and my abilities.”
“Today is going to be an amazing day!”
“It doesn’t matter if I don’t do everything perfectly today.”
“I choose to be happy.”
“I will no longer listen to Negative Thoughts.”
“I will never give up on my dreams.”
“I am so grateful for the people in my life.”
“I am beautiful.”
“I am thankful for my health.”
“My depression does not control me!”
What are some of your favourite affirmations? What are your experiences? Do they help you? Let me know in the comments. I would love to get to know you all more!
I love you all,

I am always looking for new affirmations! Thank you for sharing ?
No problem, Erin 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you for these. It’s important to spread positivity this time of year, because this is when seasonal depression tends to rear its ugly head! ?
I couldn’t agree more 🙂
This is a great idea. Using affirmations is a great way to overcome signs of depression. I’m glad you’re feeling better
Thank you, Nene 🙂
I think a lot of these are good to say to yourself even if you don’t have depression! Thanks for sharing!
Oh definitely 🙂 Anyone can use them 🙂
interesting ideas. Would love to hear how you went about implementing them into your routine and how long it took them to resonate for you.
Thank you for the post idea 🙂
Words are powerful because they can either make or break a person. Affirmations are indeed important and should be said to ourselves and to others more often. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!! 🙂
These are great affirmations. I tend to stick with my simple affirmation. I can do this.
That’s probably the best affirmation there is! ?
As someone who suffers from depression, I can say that this post is such a huge help to me. Thanks to this!
You are very welcome :3
I’m planning to use some of these with my spiritual affirmations about God! Thank you for writing this.
