I know that positive affirmations may seem small and insignificant, but these phrases can often be just the reminder that we need to help pull ourselves out of overthinking and bring us back to the present moment.
To be perfectly honest, for years, I was never a big believer in the power of positive affirmations. I honestly thought that it was nothing but a complete waste of time. You know when you hear some advice and think that it sounds nice but in reality, it doesn’t actually make any difference or help in any way.
I thought that it was like that but I was completely wrong. I didn’t realize just how much impact positive affirmations have in shaping our mindset and often it can even act as a lifeline, something that we can cling to when everything in our lives feels too loud and overwhelming.
In this post, I have created these positive affirmation wallpapers to help you feel calmer, at peace, and more grounded throughout that day.
Each wallpaper includes a small but powerful reminder. The kind of words that we may need to hear when we feel defeated, anxious, overwhelmed, or when self doubt starts to creep in.
And because we check our phones so often, having an encouraging and comforting message on your screen can be a small yet powerful way to help reset our minds and remind us of our worth, strength, and capabilities.
How To Download The Wallpaper
Simply scroll to the wallpaper that you liked and just press and hold the image and tap on save photo or download image to save it on your phone.
If you’re using a desktop, you can just right-click on the image and just select Save Image.
After that, you can just set it as your lock screen or home screen and use it as a gentle reminder to help you get through bad days.
Positive Affirmations
I can do hard things.
When we are constantly hit with one problem after another, it’s so easy to start doubting our strength and capabilities to overcome these problems. When everything feels insurmountable, it’s so easy to believe that maybe we don’t have what it takes to get through this difficult season.
During these moments, let this positive affirmation serve as your reminder that you are capable of so much more than what your fear and worries are telling you right now. Let this affirmation remind you that you are capable of pushing through whatever challenges life throws your way, even when it feels impossible right now.
Know that you have within you that invaluable strength that will help you get through these tough and dark times. You can do hard things. You are capable of overcoming this storm. You have survived hard times before and you have faced so many problems and challenges that once felt impossible and yet you were able to make it through.
So take a deep breath and repeat this affirmation until you believe it:
I can do hard things.
I don’t need certainty to feel safe.
I know that most of us want to have everything figured out. We tend to believe that the only way for us to feel safe and to avoid bad things from happening is if we have all the answers and everything is perfectly planned out.
But the hard truth is, regardless of how hard we try, life doesn’t always work that way. There will be moments in our lives when everything feels confusing and uncertain. Moments when, regardless of how hard we try, we just can’t seem to find all the answers.
And in those moments, let this positive affirmation be a reminder that you don’t need certainty to feel safe. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need to have all the answers. Know that you are still safe, even when everything feels uncertain.
You are still safe even when you don’t know what tomorrow will look like. Because the truth is, safety is not always found in having everything figured out or controlling every outcome in your life. It is found in your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
So when you feel like your mind starts to spiral and when your anxiety starts telling you that uncertainty is dangerous, pause, take a deep breath, and remind yourself:
I don’t need certainty to feel safe.
I am growing, not failing.
We often associate growth with big, loud, and visible improvements and progress. We think that growth should be something that feels rewarding and looks obvious. So, when things don’t look that way, we end up believing that we are not growing, that we are falling behind, and that we are failing.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Growth is not always loud and visible. It doesn’t always look like steady progress and visible results.
Often growth looks like making mistakes, learning from them, and choosing to try again. Often it can be choosing to show up even when you feel like you’re not ready.
Growth can still be happening even when you can’t see any results. Use this positive affirmation when you feel discouraged, when you feel like you’re not making any progress, or when you feel like you are falling behind.
Let it be your reminder that just because your journey doesn’t seem perfect doesn’t mean that you are failing. So on days when you feel like comparing yourself to others or when you feel too defeated to keep going, keep repeating this affirmation.
I am growing, not failing.
I am proud of who I am becoming.
It’s so easy to become our worst critic and just take all our achievements for granted. We tend to believe that the only wins worth celebrating are those that are huge and life changing. But that’s definitely not true.
Not every achievement has to be big. Often, the most meaningful ones are those that are quiet. Like choosing to show up for yourself, refusing to give up, and choosing to keep trying even on hard days.
Let this positive affirmation be your reminder to celebrate how far you’ve come. The person you are now has gone through so many things and overcame so many challenges your old self never thought you could.
You have grown so much as a person. Be proud of your progress, your resilience, and your capabilities.
Everything will work out in time.
When we are struggling in life, it’s so easy to feel defeated and hopeless. We tend to start believing that maybe regardless of what we do and how hard we try, we will never be able to turn our lives around.
But regardless of how impossible it may seem right now, things will get better. Let this positive affirmation serve as your reminder that as long as we keep putting one foot in front of the other, as long as we keep trying, soon everything will work out.
Eventually, everything will fall into place. This affirmation is meant to remind you that regardless of how difficult things may seem right now, soon your situation will change. You just have to keep moving forward, even when it’s just tiny steps.
I let go of what I can’t change.
Most of us are guilty of constantly trying to control every little aspect of our lives. We tend to think that if we can only control every little thing and predict every possible outcome, then maybe we can prevent things from falling apart and from going wrong.
But that’s not always the case because, regardless of what we do, there will always be so many things that are just out of our control, and the more that we try to control them, the more overwhelmed and stressed we become.
That’s why this affirmation is so powerful. Let this positive affirmation serve as a reminder that one of the best things that we can do to prevent stress and stop feeling overwhelmed is to let go of the things that we cannot change.
Instead of trying to control every little aspect of our lives, let’s use our energy and focus our efforts on the things that we can truly influence. Read this affirmation on days when you find yourself constantly overthinking about the future and worrying about the things that are just beyond your control.
I am creating the life I deserve.
We all have seasons in our lives when we feel stuck. Seasons when we feel like we are trapped in the same routine and just going through the motions of every day. I know that it’s so easy to believe that maybe this is how our life is going to be forever, that maybe we are just too late, and that we missed our chance.
During those seasons, let this positive affirmation serve as your reminder that you have the power to create the life you deserve. You are not too late. You certainly did not miss your chance. Know that your life is not over simply because you are still figuring things out.
Use this affirmation on days when you feel like you should be further ahead. When you feel like you are not doing enough or when you feel like you’re just standing still. Let this affirmation remind you that every step that you take, big or small, matters. Every small change that you make is adding up, even when you can’t see the results yet.
Let it remind you that you are not stuck. You are not too late and you certainly are not wasting your time.
You are creating the life you deserve.
Final Thoughts
I’ve learned that the words that we see every day really matter. It shapes our mindset and perspective. So, when we choose to surround ourselves with words that offer comfort, encouragement, motivation, and inspiration, we create a healthier space for ourselves.
A space that supports us and lifts our spirits, instead of draining us. I truly hope that some of these positive affirmations resonate with you and help you feel a little more hopeful, motivated, and supported through whatever season of your life you are in right now.
Always remember that I’m rooting for you.
