Daily Affirmations for Men: You Can Do This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use positive affirmations<\/em>\u2014or constructive statements that challenge old beliefs\u2014to help you push through moments of self-doubt<\/a>. Tell yourself you\u2019re lovable, important, and capable in a way that works best for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that affirmations alone cannot change a person.<\/strong> However, they help reinforce productive habits and combat negative thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we encourage you to create your own, here are some daily affirmations for men to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u201cI\u2019m worthy of love and acceptance.\u201d<\/li>
  2. \u201cI\u2019m enough just as I am.\u201d<\/li>
  3. \u201cI deserve happiness.\u201d<\/li>
  4. \u201cI\u2019m allowed to take time for myself.\u201d<\/li>
  5. \u201cMy needs are valid. My feelings are valid.\u201d<\/li>
  6. \u201cI\u2019m human and I make mistakes.\u201d<\/li>
  7. \u201cMy past is not a reflection of my future.\u201d<\/li>
  8. \u201cI am capable. I can do this.\u201d<\/li>
  9. \u201cI have the power to create change.\u201d<\/li>
  10. \u201cMy potential is limitless.\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Do Positive Affirmations Actually Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In his review of scientific literature on positive affirmations, addictions counselor Steve Rose noticed that positive affirmations don\u2019t often work the way we expect them to<\/a>. Despite claims that affirmations help us battle our worst thoughts and moods, studies show that isn\u2019t totally accurate. One study found that using affirmations we don\u2019t already believe may actually make us feel worse<\/a>. Another noticed that while listening<\/em> to positive affirmations may help boost your mood, reading<\/em> them may lead to unproductive self-reflection<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This doesn\u2019t mean positive affirmations are useless, but if you find they make you feel worse<\/em>, don\u2019t force it. You can\u2019t compel yourself to instantly accept something you don\u2019t believe\u2014yet.So when do<\/em> positive affirmations work? Rose says they\u2019re better for affirming beliefs you already hold. One study found stating your values or beliefs out loud can boost your motivation or guide your internal compass<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
