BRIGHT Positive Affirmations for Positivity and Optimism

The eighth video in Day by Day’s “Shaping my Day” affirmation series is all about positivity and optimism!

Day by Day is an initiative from some of the Baha’i Blog team that offers meditations and affirmations to connect with your spiritual self. We hope that repeating the positive affirmations shared in this video will help you to create connections, love and friendship, and make positive change in the lives of those around you!

Abdu’l-Baha frequently cited positive and joyful qualities as hallmarks of the Baha’i life, for instance He once counselled us “To look always at the good and not at the bad.” And when thinking about the future, Abdu’l-Baha explained that we can be hopeful and optimistic by thinking not of the present, but of the potential of what lies in front of us:

“Look ye not upon the present, fix your gaze upon the times to come. In the beginning, how small is the seed, yet in the end it is a mighty tree. Look ye not upon the seed, look ye upon the tree, and its blossoms, and its leaves and its fruits.”

The affirmations this week are:

• I choose to focus on the bright side.
• I greet each day with gratitude and a smile.
• I radiate positive energy.
• When there’s a setback, I bounce back.
• My optimism is a magnet.
• I trust in the universe/God/Creator that things will work out.
• Hard times always pass.
• I focus on the present and the future.
• I am loved, always have been, and always will be.
