I used to think you either had talent at work or you didn’t. Luck was what mattered.
But if I’m being really honest, I waited for motivation to happen before I did.
Till one day I realized that my self-talk at work affected everything—how confident I felt, how I showed up, how well I performed, and even the opportunities I noticed.
Your inner dialogue literally sets the limits of your life.
Ever since I started using affirmations (not the corny kind—we’ll get to that), my mind opened up. I stopped shrinking back. I started owning my space. I began walking into rooms like I belonged there.
You can feel that too.
Affirmations aren’t magical hype sentences that will solve all your problems overnight. They rewire your brain to expect better, accept more, and aim higher. The more you say them, the more your brain releases fear and fills in the gap with something new.
New thoughts.
Use these anytime—first thing in the morning, on your drive to work, during your lunch break, or when you’re feeling unmotivated and overwhelmed. Say them out loud. Write them in your journal. Place them on sticky notes across your bathroom mirror.
Below are empowering work affirmations to help you feel more confident, focused, resilient, and successful in your career long-term.

Pick a few affirmations that speak to you. Repeat them daily. Allow them to become the voice in your head when doubt creeps in. Gradually those little changes to your inner dialogue will transform your presence, your pursuits and your perception of what’s possible.
Confidence starts within. Say it out loud— and watch your career grow to match.
