1. I Can Handle Any Challenges Coming My Way

Sometimes, we just need to remind ourselves that we got this! It's important not to get too caught up on all the things giving us stress. Life is full of challenges and hurdles, so it's crucial that you don't lose your eye on the prize. Tell yourself every morning that you are more than capable of dealing with whatever comes your way - because you do.

2. I'm Growing and Learning Every Day

We're constantly growing and changing every day, and it's important that you remind yourself of this too. Not everything is going to be easy; don't be too hard on yourself and learn to accept that some things take time. We know you'll get there eventually!

3. I'm Talented In My Own Way

Everyone is different, and while you may be busy admiring other peoples' skills, don't forget that you've got your own too. Don't downplay your abilities - you're amazing in your own way! Be proud of what you've accomplished and what you can do. You're talented and you know it.

4. My Future Is In My Control

When things start feeling like they're getting out of hand, it's a good idea to start reminding yourself that your future is always in your control. How you choose to act, who to choose to be with, and what you choose to do next is always up to you. Telling yourself this might help you destress, especially if your mind is running rampant.

5. I Believe In Myself

These four simple words can mean a whole lot! When you're feeling down in the dumps, feeling discouraged by a recent mistake, or simply feeling out of it, telling yourself "I believe in me" might just be the little bit of encouragement you've been looking for. Never forget that you are your own biggest cheerleader.

6. I Am Enough

Everyone always struggles with being too hard on themselves. We want the best for ourselves which is why we tend to strive for a level of perfection that is unobtainable. The next time you find yourself feeling down, remember that you are enough. Self love is so important and can't be ignored. 

7. It's Okay To Stay In My Comfort Zone

While it's good to push yourself to try new things every now and then, don't overdo it. You never want to feel like you're pushing yourself too hard. That's why it's nice to remind yourself that it's okay to stay in your comfort zone. Stressed and don't feel like trying something new today? That's totally okay! And it's essential that you know that too.

8. Failure Is Okay

No one enjoys failing. When you work so hard for something only to be let down in the end, it can be hard getting over that disappointment. But instead of staying down, we encourage you to pick yourself back up. Remind yourself daily that failure is okay. This is an important sentiment that needs to be ingrained in our way of thinking more often. 

9. I Deserve The Good Things Coming My Way

You worked hard to get to where you are now, and don't you forget it! Every morning, you should be telling yourself you deserve all the good things coming your way. Sometimes, we can grow to be too humble and forget to treat ourselves. You put in the work, now revel in your rewards!

10. I'm Working Hard

Be proud of the work you're putting in, whether it has to do with family, personal relationships, or work. Don't downplay your efforts and remember to go easy on yourself every now and then. Telling yourself that you're working hard keeps you focused and motivated on achieving your goals. 

11. I Am A Strong Man/Woman

Regardless of gender, everyone needs to remind themselves that they're strong, independent, and capable. If there's any phrase you should be telling yourself every day, it's this one! It's always nice remembering that you are your own person and that you are capable of accomplishing whatever goals you want. 

12. I Can Do Anything I Put My Mind To

Now that's the right attitude! When the going gets tough, changing your mindset and perspective into a positive one can make a huge difference. Repeatedly saying that you can make it happen will not only make you feel better about yourself, but it'll help you destress and worry less about the little things. 

13. Today Will Be A Good Day

This is one simple reminder that can really help change your mood in the morning. No matter what comes your way, telling yourself that today will be a good day helps you start off on the right foot. Sometimes, all we need is a little reminder to get us back on track. 

14. My Voice and Opinions Matter

Always remind yourself that you are important and that what you have to say matters! Never underestimate the importance of self-worth. Too often do we lose our confidence over feeling like no one is hearing our voice. You always have the right to speak your mind, so do so bravely and confidently!

15. I Love My Body

While yes, it's important to love your body in a literal sense, we more so mean that you should feel comfortable being yourself. You should be proud to be you. Embrace every part of you and that confidence will sky rocket like never before.

16. I Am Proud Of The Person I've Become

Always remind yourself that you're proud of the person you've grown to be. You've experienced so many things in life, from hardships to happy moments, and all of them have shaped you to become who you are. Don't be embarrassed by things you've done or gone through - every little part of your past was important and made you who you are. Own it!

17. I Love My Friends and Family

Take a moment to remember all the beautiful people in your life. They make you smile, they support you, they stand behind you no matter what. These people deserve some recognition, don't you think? After all, they make you feel special and confident in being you.

18. I Make Mistakes and That's Okay

Every day, we all make little mistakes that are unavoidable. Nobody is perfect and there's no reason why you should believe you need to be. You are perfectly amazing the way you are, even if you mess up every now and then. As long as you own up to it, that's more than okay!

19. I Am So Grateful For The Things I Have In My Life

Take a moment to reflect on all the things you're grateful for. It can be things you've accomplished, people you have in your life, or special memorabilia you own. When you take a look at your list and all the wonderful things in your life, it'll make your day feel all the more special and remind you how great your life is. 

20. I Am Surrounded By People Who Love Me

No matter what you may think, always know that you are deeply loved by those around you. From close friends to family members, these special and important people in your life love you so much. It can be easy to forget at times when we're so busy, but always take a moment to remind yourself of this - it can really bring a smile to your face when you need it most.
