Being positive is a daily choice. For many of us, it requires a lot of practice. And, while we may never be perfect at it, it is worth aspiring to.

Living through a positive lens makes everything more exciting and rewarding because we learn to be grateful and appreciate what life has to offer us. That doesn’t mean that we shove down negative feelings.

However, we process our emotions in a healthy manner while understanding that things happen for us and not to us.

Here are 9 affirmations for a positive year ahead:

1. I am at peace with how things have turned out.

2. I live my life for me.

3. I live with true intentions.

4. I embrace life fully.

5. I open my heart to love others with vulnerability.

6. I trust that everything works out for the better.

7. I am exactly where I am meant to be.

8. I am grateful to have another life to live.

9. I call on Archangel Michael to protect me from negativity as I face challenges through this upcoming year.
