15 Positive Affirmations To Get You Writing, Now!

Anyone who writes knows that getting started can oftentimes be the most challenging part. It sounds easy enough to force yourself to start writing, but the reality for human beings — who are both complex and strange — is that we are, for better or worse, often trapped within our mind. If one's mind is bright, optimistic, resilient, and positive, this is a good place to be. However, if it's not you're apt to find it feeling impossible to complete even the simplest of tasks. If you're not in a good place, read through these positive affirmations to get you writing... right now.

In the simplest terms, affirmations are intended as statements of truth that make people feel better. The generalness of the statements allows them to remain true for people across the spectrum. Saying something along the lines of, "Today is a new day," can be inspiring because it provides the hopeful clean slate of a new day, but all sugar coating aside, the statement itself is correct. Whether good or bad, today is a new day.

Affirmations are not about blinding yourself to reality or lying to yourself. They're about building up and empowering yourself through repetition. You don't just say an affirmation once and feel great about yourself. They take time and commitment and get stronger the more you say them. The more you use them, the more likely you are to manifest the feelings and energies needed to do whatever it is you're trying to do, even if it's just getting through the day.

Below are 15 affirmations that not only encourage a positive sense of self-worth but also remind us that we have the power to control where we are and where we're going.
