How to use it
Write one short sentence on each card in your own words, then cut along the dotted lines. Keep a card on the mirror, in your wallet or by your desk.
A tip
Use words you can believe, such as I can take one small step today. The cards are blank on purpose, so there is nothing copied and nothing to agree with that is not yours.
Writing words you believe
The best affirmation is one you find believable. "I am learning to take my time" is easier to accept than "I am perfectly calm". Write in your own voice, in the present tense, and keep each card to one short sentence.
Some people prefer "you" statements, the way a kind friend would say it. Try both voices and keep the ones that land.
Making a set
Cut along the dotted lines and sort the cards into piles: ones for the morning, ones for a hard moment and ones you simply like. Keep the morning pile by the bathroom mirror or next to your keys.
Swap cards out every week or two so they do not turn into wallpaper. Keep the ones that still make you pause.
A digital version
The Daily Journal has a Mantra tab with a daily card, categories you can switch on and off, handwriting styles and your own cards. It is free to start, and the paper cards work well beside it.
Questions
What should I write?
A short, kind sentence you find believable, in your own words.
Why are the cards blank?
So the words are yours. We do not copy anyone else's.
Do affirmations work?
They are a habit of kind self-talk, not a cure. Some people find them helpful, and the page on positive affirmations explains the evidence and its limits.
How many cards should I write?
Eight fit on a sheet. Start with a few that you really mean, rather than filling every card.
Can I make them for someone else?
Yes. A card with a kind line in your handwriting makes a small gift, and you can print as many sheets as you like.
