The new year is the best time to set new goals. Whether you’re hoping to improve your health, finances, relationships, or life in general—daily affirmations can inspire you to succeed on your journey.
What I love about affirmations is that they don’t have to be fancy to be effective. When practiced regularly… simple, positive phrases can increase our confidence and transform our thinking.
Since I began practicing daily affirmations, I’ve seen tremendous growth over the years. My outlook on life is more positive, and I’m more motivated to achieve my goals. Speaking from experience, there are a multitude of benefits to reciting affirmations, which is why I chose this topic for my New Year’s post.
So, out with the old… in with the NEW! In celebration of 2024, here’s a list of 24 affirmations to inspire you and increase your hope. Happy New Year!!!
What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year.

- I release all things from the past year that no longer serve me, help me grow, or make me happy.
- I give myself permission to go after what I want.
- I am moving from poverty thinking to abundance thinking.
- I choose health, happiness, and joy.
- I welcome new opportunities to grow—mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually.
- I release all fears about age and time.
- I’m in charge of my decisions, emotions, and life.
- God will never fail nor forsake me—I’m not in this alone.
- Self-care comes first.
- Working towards my goals consistently is easy for me.
- I will persist until I succeed.
- I am present in every moment.
- There is space for my talent… there is space for me.
- I am making myself a priority this year.
- My setbacks make me stronger for the next steps in my journey.
- I commit to trying my best, rather than doubting my abilities.
- I am whole, worthy, and complete as I am.
There is space for my talent… there is space for me.
- I am worthy of everything good in life.
- My wishes and needs matter, and I will fulfill them without guilt.
- I release doubt and negativity… Positive self-talk occurs naturally and effortlessly.
- I know myself and I honor my boundaries.

If I may just add one more affirmation to this list, I’d like to leave you with my favorite, “I choose to be better this year than I was last year.” I love this affirmation because it’s simple, sweet, and it sums up my New Year’s goal.
This year, I’m not reaching for perfection… but I am striving to become a better version of myself in every area of my life.
I hope these affirmations inspire you and brighten your day… But most importantly, I wish you a New Year filled with peace, happiness, and success!!!
