I was introduced to affirmations more than 15 years ago by Louise Hay’s book – “You Can Heal Your Life”.

Until then, I thought everything was happening “to me”. Life was really not going as planned. It seemed a struggle on all fronts – career, finances and relationships.  I felt powerless to change my circumstances since I believed it depended on others changing their outlook and behaviour. I almost perceived myself as a victim of circumstances.

Louise Hay’s book changed my perspective of life quite dramatically. From an “Others are responsible for the mess in my life” mindset I realized that everything in my life was my own creation and responsibility. Yes, at times truth is a bitter pill to swallow – this was a bitter but empowering pill. I started implementing Louise’s teachings and diligently worked on affirmations and conscious positive thinking. Once I accepted responsibility for myself and started focussing on what I wanted there were shifts in almost all aspects of my life. My work life flourished, relationships improved. Life started looking good.

I discovered that I could take charge of my life to a large extent and create the reality I desired by simply shifting my mindset and being aware of my thoughts. A few of these shifts happened within days and weeks, the others happened over a longer period of time. What was consistent were my efforts at conscious thinking, affirmations and backing these with necessary actions. I framed affirmations to help achieve my desired goals and reviewed and improvised them regularly. This inner work I was doing on changing my mindset and internal re-programming was as important to me as my personal life and my career. It was a priority. And still is.

You too can use this simple tool to create the shifts you desire. Listed below are a few powerful affirmations for Happiness. In addition to my affirmations, I am sharing a few from other sources including Louise Hay – my affirmations “guru”!

Affirmations for Happiness

If there is one Universal desire every human being has, it is happiness. The definition of happiness differs from person to person. It could mean goals related to money, career, material comforts, health, relationships, family etc. Happiness in its most simple and fundamental form, means peace of mind and freedom from suffering. When we are surrounded by the dark clouds of suffering which could be physical, emotional, and financial or relationship issues, we become desperate in our search for happiness and peace.

The affirmations listed below help us bring in happiness into our lives by reprogramming our limiting beliefs to more empowering ones. This shift in our mental pattern from a sense of lack to gratitude for abundance automatically helps attract more peace and joy.

1. I am enough
2. I am grateful for all the beautiful things in my life
3. My life is filled with love, happiness and peace
4. I have everything I need to be happy right now
5. I choose to be happy and grateful today
6. I radiate joy and love
7. I choose happiness in each and every moment
8. I am at peace with my past.
9. Today is a really, really good day!
10. All is well in my world. Everything is working out for my highest good.
11. I trust the process of life.
12. My day begins and ends with gratitude.
13. Life is good, and so it is!
14. I am divinely guided and protected at all times
15. I deserve the best and I accept it now

Remember to use the affirmations properly. Follow the guidelines mentioned in my earlier post titled “Affirmations”. Pick one or two which strongly resonate with what you want to manifest in your life right now. You can either repeat them aloud or mentally. Writing affirmations is a powerful tool. Also keep in mind that it is very important to bring in feelings or emotions when you are repeating the affirmations.

You can repeat the affirmations at any time convenient to you. The more the number of repetitions the better but the minimum should be seven times. Be patient and consistent and have faith – trust the Universe. And take necessary action – you co-create your reality with the Universe.
