Get in the right mindset for your best year yet with these 100 New Year affirmations for 2024!
As we enter a new year, it’s really common to feel a wave of motivation and encouragement. Oftentimes, we set huge, ambitious goals and New Year’s resolutions.
This is great. The feeling of a “fresh start” that comes with the change of the year is my favorite part!
But, all too often, this intense rush of motivation quickly dwindles. As the days go on, we fall back into old habits, routines, and behaviors that may not align with our New Year’s goals.
This is where positive New Year affirmations can be an incredible tool. By shifting your mindset to a more positive place, you can improve your chances of success and help manifest your dreams into reality!
Why Use Positive Affirmations for the New Year?
Research shows that only about 8% of people keep their New Year’s resolutions for the entire year. However, this study gave us some really important insight into why those people were more successful.
One important distinguishing factor between those who are “successful” at their resolutions and those who are not is the pursuit of self-improvement in other ways.
Those who remain committed to their resolutions most often are actively pursuing various avenues of self-improvement.
One great way to shift your mindset to a place of self-improvement and growth is by practicing positive affirmations.
Positive affirmations are not a magic fix to grant all your wishes (although I wish it was that simple!).
However, they are a scientifically-backed tool to help reframe your brain to a place of positivity, abundance, confidence, and success.
Here are some of the main benefits of positive affirmations:
- improved self-confidence
- overcome fear
- decrease self-doubt
- lessen self-sabotage behaviors
- disrupt negative thought patterns
- reconnect you to core values
- decrease stress
- improve overall well-being
- boost academic/career performance
- become more open to behavior change

Setting some positive New Year affirmations may be just what you need to cultivate those goals and make your dream life become a reality in 2024.
How to Use New Year Affirmations to Manifest a Good Year
So how do affirmations actually work? How can you utilize positive affirmations for the New Year as a way to attract your dreams, goals, and desires?
Simply put, what you say to yourself matters.
The messages you tell yourself matter.
The way you speak to yourself and the internal beliefs you hold about yourself matter.
Your perception of yourself and the world around you plays an essential role in how your life plays out.
The use of positive affirmations helps to shift your internal dialogue and outlook to a more positive place so you, in turn, receive more positive things in your life.
Tips for Successful New Year’s Affirmations:
- Avoid Toxic Positivity.
The purpose of affirmations is not to make it so nothing in your life ever goes wrong.
Life still happens.
It’s okay to still feel sad, angry, overwhelmed, etc. Negative emotions are part of being human. Allow yourself to feel all the things, but don’t allow them to be catastrophized in your mind.
- Practice Real Positivity.
Positive affirmations are not magic.
You cannot say one positive affirmation and expect your world to shift overnight. Like anything, affirmations are a consistent practice.
You are working to retrain your mind and establish new, more positive neural pathways. Just like building muscle, retraining your brain takes time, consistency, and practice too!
- Action Matters.
Again, affirmations are not the magic wand to grant you all your life’s desires.
There is still an element of work that needs to be done on your part.
To have successful positive affirmations and manifest a great year, you also need to work for it.
Establish good daily habits, set goals, and utilize your positive affirmation mindset as you work towards them.
