You’ve probably heard of positive affirmations. Well, I’d like to introduce you to money affirmations! Much like positive affirmations, they work to help change your overall mindset and evoke positive energy towards money.
How do you feel when you use a credit card? Or how about when you look at your bank account? If it’s anything other than love and joy, we need to change that! While there’s a lot that goes into changing your finances for the better, money affirmations are one of the best things we can do to improve our attitude and mood towards our finances.
What Are Money Affirmations?
I’m a firm believer that there’s power in your words. Because of this, I truly feel that what you tell yourself, you actually end up believing. Money affirmations are simple statements reflecting finances that you can repeat to yourself. Through repetition, these affirmations slowly work to change your conscious and subconscious thoughts.
It may feel silly saying these statements, but you really will notice a difference. They’ve been medically proven to make a difference. Over time, you’ll feel more confident and believe in your abilities to secure a strong financial future.
Don’t expect these affirmations to work immediately! Essentially, you’re reversing and replacing your negative thought process, and this takes time. But, a positive mindset creates positive change.
Here are some money affirmations you can use to get inspired.

How To Practice Money Affirmations
Now that you have your money affirmations selected, it’s time to recite them. And yes, I did say affirmations! You can have multiple affirmations. Take as many that feel right to your situation and inspire some kind of emotional resonance.
Place your money affirmations somewhere you go often. This encourages you to recite and read them every day. A sticky note on the mirror, as your lock screen background on your phone, or even framed on the wall will all work well.
At the very least, you should be dedicating time to your affirmations at least once a day. The key is to practice them often and consistently to feel their shift. You can say the words aloud or even try writing them in a journal. Journaling helps to clear your thoughts and get your emotions out, which helps in all facets of life!
You can also use your affirmations when you’re feeling a certain way, such as overwhelmed, sad, or stressed. Over time, it will overturn those emotions.
Make Your Own Money Affirmations
These affirmations are meant to only be the inspiration for you to make your own. Creating your own money affirmation is much more powerful as it will directly reflect your goals and feelings.
To make your own, write out the statement in the present tense as if it has already happened. Only write from the first person (your point of view, I) so that you are the only focus here. The statement should always be positive and never negative. For instance, turn “I will not spend money on shoes” into “I will spend my money purposefully.”
Keep your affirmations specific and simple. Incorporate words of feeling like joy, love, freedom, optimism, and more to make them full of positive energy.
If you’re having a hard time coming up with positive statements, write down the negative feeling you have and just reverse it. Remember, it doesn’t have to be fancy. As long as it speaks to you, the money affirmations will get to work!
If you feel comfortable, leave your own money affirmation in the comments down below so we can all get inspired and lift each other up.
