25 Affirmations to Give You Hope in Hard Times

When life has thrown a tough challenge at you or you’re going through a difficult situation, it’s so helpful to have a positive inner dialog with yourself that gives you the strength to keep going. However, it can be hard to think in a positive way when you’re in the midst of a struggle, so I want to share affirmations to give you hope in hard times.

These positive affirmations give you a way to quickly halt painful thoughts and get into a more optimistic state, so that your nervous system can calm down and you can find solutions more easily. You’ll not only feel better, but you’ll be able to see things from a more empowered perspective and take action from there.

Using hopeful affirmations or mantras will help you shift your mindset from feeling helpless or like a victim, to feeling at peace and confident in your ability to handle anything.

It’s not always easy, but when you trust that the situation will get better before you see it, you expand your energy and make space for life to become better. When you’re living in fear and doubt, you unconsciously pull your energy in and become smaller, and you close yourself off to solutions.

Before getting into the affirmations, I want to remind you that you will get through whatever challenge you’re facing. You’ve already proven that by overcoming everything life has thrown at you thus far, because you’re still here.

Choose a few affirmations that give you hope from the list below, and say them to yourself (in your head or out loud) whenever you need. Write them down on a paper and put them somewhere you can see them often.
