50+ Positive New Year Affirmations to Ring in 2025
Embrace this new beginning by selecting an affirmation or mantra to step into a positive mindset every day. It’s an easy way to shift your perspective and these thoughtful New Year’s affirmations will offer plenty of food for thought to support your personal growth.
It’s amazing how much the right word or phrase can totally transform your life. Instead of New Year’s resolutions (or in addition to them), consider selecting an affirmation to help you release negative thoughts and embrace positive change.
Often, we can’t really see our progress throughout the year because the changes are so small. But you can often notice how you respond differently to positive statements and affirmations over time.
For example, you may feel like you’re faking it at the beginning, then you start to realize that it’s true (cue the inner work) and then you eventually start to believe it. It takes time, but it can genuinely change how you feel about yourself.
If you’re having a hard time thinking of positive affirmations or just want some examples to pull from, try these!
List of Affirmations for the New Year
Depending on where you are right now, some of these may feel obvious to you while others may feel like a stretch. There is no right or wrong affirmation to choose.
For people pleasers and perfectionists, it helps to start with an affirmation that positions their needs first since they have likely been ignoring their needs for decades.
If you’re already developed a basis of self-love and confidence, then it may feel good to push yourself gently to change in some way or work towards a higher goal.
Whichever of these feels right to you is the right one for you. That’s it. Feel free to make your own, too!
