35 Positive Affirmations for Creating Happiness

Some of us were taught that we are not allowed to be happy.

That there's more to accomplish, more to chase, better things to have before we can feel happy. While striving for more can be beneficial for our self-growth, we shouldn't delay our happiness for a future date. We can create happiness along the way.

On the other side, some of us were taught that if we did become happy or experience glimpses of ease, something would interfere. 

This may come from the projection of others' limitations or our own experience.

Regardless, we are allowed to change how we look at life.

It’s time for us to allow ourselves to experience the happiness we were designed to experience.

Affirmations are not meant to change your life immediately; they are here to help us change how we talk about our life one day at a time, which will, in return, elevate the way that we show up for our life through actions, behaviors, and responses.

The more you practice and repeat affirmations, the quicker they become a default setting in your brain.

These positive affirmations for happiness help you make happiness a norm in your life.

You can re-read these daily, write them down each day, read them aloud to yourself, or even print them to put on your mirror for when you are getting ready in the morning!
