Positive Affirmations

This is something I recently shared with my students and I thought it would make sense to share it here as well.  These affirmations do not only have to apply to students so feel free to take what works and leave the rest.   

Positive affirmations are more than some silly hippy fad - there is some evidence that they really do help with motivation and self-esteem.  Which both help us be academically successful.  
With that in mind, I leave you with the following positive affirmations for students.  Pick one (or two or more) and make it yours.  Write it on a sticky note and say it each morning/evening on your way to school.  Or something like that.  :)

• I am a great student and getting better each adn every day
• I am an amazing person
• All of my problems have solutions
• Today I am a leader
• Today and everyday my thirst for leaning is alive and well in me
• I am prepared for my test / I love taking tests / Tests are a breeze for me.
• Today I study hard so tomorrow I can make my different
• There is no one better to be than myself
• I am enough
• I get better every single day
• I forgive myself for my mistakes
• My challenges help me grow

Feel free to add your own!
