50 New Year Affirmations for an Successful and Happy New Year

Repeating new year affirmations as you head into a new chapter is a really positive way to set goals and intentions for the coming 12 months and beyond.

While the new year doesn’t have to mean you completely reinvent your life, a lot of people find it motivating to set new year’s resolutions at this time. The new year feels like the chance for a fresh start; it puts a full-stop at the end of one chapter so that you can begin the next.

Sometimes, all we need to pull us out of a rut is some intentional goal-setting and new year affirmations help us do that.

Affirmations are also an effective way to manifest our desires and, combined with the positive energy that the new year brings, they can be super-powerful.

Are new year affirmations good for manifesting?

Three of the most powerful ways to manifest our goals are:

• Gratitude
• Positive mindset
• Affirmations

New year’s affirmations combine all of these elements: we feel grateful for the previous year and everything we’ve learned; we feel positive, excited and optimistic going into this new chapter of our lives; and we repeat affirmations to elevate our mindset further.

This is a recipe for success when it comes to manifesting.

As long as we carry this mindset into the new year and take positive action towards our goals, this can be one of the best times to manifest.

How to use new year affirmations

Just because these are new year’s affirmations, doesn’t mean to say that you have to repeat them on midnight at the dot.

Affirmations are there to give you a boost whenever you need that, whether that be when the clock strikes 12, the evening before, when you make your goals, or the day after.

Honestly, a lot of these affirmations for the new year can be used at any time of year whenever you need to set goals or start afresh.

My biggest tips when it comes to using affirmations are:

• Only pick one or two: This way, you can stay focused and put all your energy into one goal. I usually recommend not picking more than three to work on at one time.
• Repeat them in your head or out loud whenever you need them: Affirmations are designed to give you a boost of self-belief and confidence when you need it most, so use them when you need them most.
• Write them down: Journaling is a great way to get clear on your goals and manifestations, as well as remember the affirmation(s) you’re working on. You can also monitor your progress and any feelings that you want to write about in your journal.
• Use prompt cards: Affirmation prompt cards can help you remember or spark motivation if you’re unsure which affirmation you want to work on.
• Choose affirmations relevant to your goals: There’s no point repeating affirmations about money if your goal for the new year is to work on self-love. Try to pick affirmations that are relevant to your goal or manifestation.
• Feel the affirmation: Really try and feel what emotion achieving your goal, manifestation, or resolution would spark as you repeat your affirmation.

What’s the difference between an affirmations and new year’s resolutions?

New year’s resolutions are goals we set at the beginning of each new year in order to better ourselves or our lives in some way.

Many people find that setting these goals gives them a new lease of life going into the new year and helps them draw a line under what they might see as a ‘bad’ previous year.

However, only 9 – 12% of people actually keep them long-term.

Studies show that this is because people set unrealistic goals; they don’t keep track of them; and/or they set too many.

Resolutions tend to be big goals, such as losing a large amount of weight, never eating pizza ever again, or earning more money than you’ve ever seen in your life. The problem is, these goals are pretty black-and-white. You either accomplish them or fail, which can be really demoralising and even damaging to your mindset.

Affirmations, on the other hand, are simply tools to help improve your mindset towards your goals.

They’re self-affirming statements that improve your confidence, rather than all-or-nothing goals that you can either reach or fail.

Using affirmations alongside your resolutions might bring you more success than simply setting resolutions.

How to stick to new year’s resolutions

Some tips on setting resolutions are:

1. Make them realistic
2. Write them down
3. Break your big goal down into mini monthly goals
4. Make a clear plan with actionable steps to achieve your resolution
5. Track your progress consistently
6. Repeat positive affirmations that are relevant to your goal

With these steps in place, sticking to your resolutions should be much easier and you’re more likely to be successful.

Conclusion

New year affirmations can super-charge your new year’s resolutions, allow you to draw a line under the previous year, and achieve your goals easier.

The new year is a great time to start afresh and learn from your mistakes, while also letting go of negativity or energy that doesn’t serve you.
