How to use daily affirmations cards
Affirmation cards are a great way to boost your mood and reprogram your subconscious mind. Here are a few ideas of ways to use these little notes with positive thoughts as part of your daily routine:
Draw one in the morning and use the phrase during your morning meditation Display the day’s affirmation card on your bathroom mirror, next to your computer, or on your vision board Use them as a positive note in a lunch box (yours, your partner’s, or your child’s) Look through the collection and use a card that feels particularly needed at that time Draw a card at the end of the day to end your day with a positive message Use them in your classroom to promote a positive outlook
Tips for using affirmations for personal growth
I’ve written a lot about positive affirmations in this post on how to create affirmations that work and this post with 35+ positive affirmations for kids. I also have a post with a free printable affirmation station to promote a more positive mindset in your classroom every day and this post with word of the day affirmation cards. There are a lot of affirmation resources here on The Artisan Life! I’m not going to go into great detail in this short post because I know you’re eager to download and use your free affirmation cards, so I’ll just give you two quick tips: Pick a different affirmation each day, or multiple times throughout the day. Using daily affirmation cards is important - if you leave the same card up for an extended period of time, you can start to see it as part of the scenery and ignore its message. If a particular one of the simple statements really doesn’t resonate with you, it’s okay to draw a new card. Trying to force positive thinking doesn’t really work. You have to at least feel open to the possibility of an aspect of the affirmation card being true for you.
How to print positive affirmation cards at home
These cards are easy to print at home because they are saved in PDF format in US letter paper size. For best results, I recommend printing these cards on 32# premium paper. It’s thicker, brighter, and shinier than plain copy paper so your cards will feel more satisfying and professional. Laminate the pages before cutting the cards out to make them more durable. Don’t have a laminator? These are smaller cards so you can “laminate” them with clear oacking tape, middle school style. You can also print your cards on heavy weight card stock or even regular printer paper if that’s all you have access to. The full set in the PDF file contains four pages with pre-written affirmations and four pages with space to write in your own affirmations. Save printer ink by making sure you only print the pages you need. These are colorful affirmation cards, not positive affirmation coloring cards. If you’d like to see black and white cards for coloring in the future, please leae a comment and let me know.
