26 Affirmations for 2026

A New Thought practice for empowerment, success, and belonging

Every thought we think and every word we speak is an affirmation.

Many people think of prayer as something we do at specific moments: during a service, in a crisis, or before a meal. From a New Thought perspective, however, prayer is happening all the time. Our inner dialogue, our expectations, and the stories we tell ourselves are constantly shaping our experience of life. In this sense, every thought is a prayer.

Affirmations have been used for generations as a way to gently and intentionally reframe our inner world. They are not about denial or pretending. They are about awareness. An affirmation helps us notice the mental habits we have inherited or unconsciously adopted—and gives us a way to choose again.

Some people resist affirmations by saying, “But that isn’t true.” Of course it isn’t. I qf it were already true in your awareness, you wouldn’t need the affirmation. Affirmations do not change God, the universe, or other people. They don’t magically create outcomes on their own. Their purpose is much more subtle and powerful: they help establish new patterns of thought.

For example, someone who grew up with the belief “there is never enough” may never question that assumption. Over time, they will unconsciously seek experiences that confirm scarcity. Introducing an affirmation such as “There is more than enough” interrupts that pattern. It creates space for awareness and awareness opens the door to choice.

These affirmations are offered in that spirit.

They hold no mystical power beyond their ability to help you listen more carefully to your own mind and choose thoughts that support wholeness, success, and joy.

Below are 26 affirmations for 2026, designed for the first 26 days of the year. They are grouped into five areas of life:
personal & spiritual development, career & abundance, health & wellness, love & relationships, and community.
