What are love affirmations?

Love affirmations are positive statements or declarations that you repeat to yourself to cultivate more self-love, self-acceptance, and a positive outlook on love and relationships. They can help you to focus on the good in yourself and others, increase your capacity to give and receive love in your life, and to overcome any negative thoughts or beliefs that may be holding you back from experiencing the love and connection that you desire.

When you repeat love affirmations, you transform your deeply held negative beliefs and attitudes that would have held you back. Instead, you replace them with positive affirmations that will cultivate a more positive and loving attitude toward yourself, as well as toward others.

How do affirmations work?

Affirmations are based on the following principles:

  1. The way you perceive and experience the world around you is closely linked to the thoughts and beliefs that occupy your mind most frequently. In other words, your dominant mental patterns are often mirrored in the external circumstances and events that you encounter in your daily life.
  2. Altering the content and quality of your thoughts can lead to a transformation in the way you experience and interact with the world. By consciously modifying your mental patterns and perspectives, you have the potential to shape your reality in a significant way. In essence, your thoughts have the power to create your reality.

How to create love affirmations

Using affirmations to improve your love life is a simple and effective process.

1) Pick an area of your love life that needs healing. This could relate to a specific relationship, the lack of a relationship, or specific issues that are preventing you from enjoying a healthy and loving relationship. For example, let’s say you are trying to get over a breakup and dealing with anger, resentment, loneliness, sadness, or other negative feelings that you are ready to release.

2) How would you like that area of your life to look? If you could get anything you wanted, what would it be? How would you feel? In the example above, let’s assume you want to release anger and negative feelings and replace them with love and optimism.

3) Describe the desired outcome in the first person, in a positive way, and in the present tense.

For example,

  • Use positive language: don’t say, “I am not angry”. Instead, say “I am calm/happy/content”. When you use negative words, your subconscious mind focuses on them and that defeats the purpose.
  • Use present tense: don’t say, “I will be calm/happy/content”. Instead, say “I am calm/happy/content”.

4) Experience how you want to feel right now. When you repeat your affirmation, imagine yourself feeling the exact emotion you want to feel. If you want to feel content then visualize yourself feeling content. Try to evoke the emotions you want to feel. If you cannot do this then you might need to change your affirmation. If it feels too far-fetched for you then start with something you can relate to and actually feel. For example, if you cannot say “I am happy” and mean it then say “I am satisfied”.

5) Repeat your affirmation every day. It is important to repeat affirmations each day in order to reprogram the subconscious mind and shift limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns.

6) Incorporate gratitude into your affirmations. When you give gratitude your affirmations are way more powerful. You can give gratitude in the present for something you will receive in the future. For example, if you are trying to manifest a relationship you can say: “Thank you for sending my perfect partner to me. We are in a loving relationship and I feel loved and happy”.  See gratitude affirmations.

Use the following affirmation creator to help you create the ideal affirmation.

When you create and use affirmations, focus on the process and the positive qualities or actions that will help you achieve your desired outcome, rather than solely focusing on the end result. For example, if you are trying to get back to your ex or trying to manifest a relationship with someone specific, don’t create an affirmation specifically related to that person. For example, don’t say “I am in a loving relationship with Tom”. Instead, say “I am in a loving relationship with my perfect partner”. While affirmations can be powerful tools for manifesting our desires, it’s important to remember that the universe may have a different plan for us. By focusing solely on a specific outcome, we may miss out on other opportunities or experiences that could be even more fulfilling or meaningful. In this case, there might be someone who will make you much happier and with whom you are meant to be. If you focus on the wrong person you will miss out on your opportunity to be with your perfect partner. If this person is your perfect partner then the universe will know who you are referring to. If not, you will be matched with the right person for you.

When do love affirmations not work?

While affirmations can be a powerful tool for cultivating love and improving relationships, there are some situations where they may not work as well. Here are a few examples:

  1. When you repeat affirmations that feel untrue or unrealistic to you, it can create resistance and reinforce negative beliefs instead of shifting them.
  2. Lack of repetition: When you don’t repeat them often enough.
  3. Lack of action: Affirmations are most effective when combined with action. If you are not taking action towards creating the loving relationships you desire, affirmations alone may not be enough to manifest those desires.
  4. Negative beliefs: Negative beliefs about love, relationships, and self-worth can undermine the effectiveness of love affirmations. If you have deep-seated negative beliefs about love or relationships, it may be helpful to work through those beliefs with a therapist or coach before using affirmations.
  5. Resistance to change: Our subconscious minds are wired to resist change, even when that change is positive. If you have resistance to changing your beliefs or habits around love and relationships, affirmations may not be enough to overcome that resistance.
  6. Lack of alignment: Love affirmations must align with your core values and beliefs. If an affirmation feels inauthentic or goes against your values, it may not resonate with you and may not be effective.
  7. External factors: There may be external factors that are impacting your ability to manifest the loving relationships you desire, such as toxic relationships, difficult life circumstances, or a lack of support. In these situations, affirmations alone may not be enough to create the changes you desire.

Affirmations for love can be a powerful tool for getting the love you want, but they are not a magic solution for all relationship problems. It’s important to combine affirmations with action, address negative beliefs and resistance, ensure alignment with your values, and address any external factors that may be impacting your ability to manifest the love and relationships you desire.

Words of Affirmation Love Language

According to Gary Chapman, author of “The Five Love Languages“, the reason that so many people fail to keep love alive in the long term is because people speak different love languages. The problem arises if your emotional love language and the language of your spouse is different. In this case, you must be willing to learn your spouse’s primary love language if you are to be effective communicators of love. According to the author, there are five emotional love languages (five ways that people speak and understand emotional love). Once you identify and learn to speak your spouse’s primary love language, the author believes that you will have discovered the key to long-lasting love. In order to keep love alive most of us will have to put forth the effort to learn a secondary love language.

When we do not speak our partner’s love language then our behavior changes as a result and the relationship deteriorates.

When we first fall in love, we are emotionally obsessed with each other. We think about each other all day and want to spend as much time together as possible. The person who is “in love” has the illusion that his beloved is perfect.
When this stage wears off, we start to recognize that some of our partner’s personality traits are actually irritating. Those little traits that we overlooked when we were in love now become huge obstacles
When you reach this stage, many people decide that they need to break up or live with each other’s faults. The author explains that there is a better alternative: We can recognize the in-love experience for what it was–a temporary emotional high–and now pursue “real love” with our partner.

Affirmation Love Language

The first Love Language is “Words of Affirmation”. Words of affirmation are one of the five basic love languages. However, within this language there are many dialects. All of the dialects use words to communicate love to your spouse. One way to express love emotionally is to use words that verbally affirm each other. There are many different ways to do this such as:

Verbal compliments, or words of appreciation

These are powerful communicators of love. They are best expressed in simple, straightforward statements of affirmation, such as: “You look good in that dress.” “I really appreciate that you washed the dishes tonight.”

Encouraging Words

Encouraging words are words that give people courage. We all suffer from some insecurities and words of encouragement can make us feel inspired to do something. Most people don’t reach their full potential because of a lack of courage. Words of encouragement from a loving spouse can help give us the courage we need to reach our goals.

Kind Words

Love is kind so if we are to communicate love verbally we must use kind words that are said with kindness and tenderness. The way we say words is as important as what we say.

Humble Words

Love makes requests, not demands. It is important to be aware of each other’s desires and needs. However, the way we express those desires is very important. If they come across as demands, we will drive our spouse away. If, however, we make known our needs and desires as requests, we are giving guidance, not ultimatums.

Words of Affirmation Love Language Examples

If your spouse’s language of love is words of affirmation then use words to affirm your love or write a love letter. Sincerity is the crucial element that makes love affirmations meaningful.

In “The 5 Love Languages for Men”, Gary Chapman distinguishes between flattery and affirmation. Chapman stresses that flattery is not a dialect of the words of affirmation love language and flattery will get you nowhere. Flattery and love affirmations may sound similar, but there are several distinct—and important—differences between them. Flattery is a form of communication that seeks to manipulate others by appealing to their vanity or ego, and it often comes with an ulterior motive or hidden agenda. Its ultimate aim is often to get something from the person being flattered. Unlike meaningful affirmations that require sincerity, flattery is insincere because it often involves complimenting someone with an ulterior motive or hidden agenda.

You have to believe what you say. Use your intimate knowledge of the person being affirmed to say something sincere and loving.

Here are some examples:

  • “I love you” – This simple statement can be a powerful affirmation of love.
  • “I appreciate everything you do for me” – This can show gratitude and appreciation for the effort your partner puts into the relationship.
  • “You are beautiful/handsome/gorgeous” – Complimenting your partner’s physical appearance can make them feel desired and attractive.
  • “I am proud of you” – This affirmation can be used to show admiration and support for your partner’s accomplishments.
  • “I admire your strength and resilience” – This can be a powerful affirmation of your partner’s character and inner strength.
  • “I feel so lucky to have you in my life” – This can express a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for your partner’s presence in your life.
  • “I trust you completely” – This can show that you have faith in your partner’s honesty and integrity.
  • “You make me feel loved and valued” – This can express how your partner’s actions and words make you feel in the relationship.
  • “I am here for you, no matter what” – This can be a powerful affirmation of your commitment to your partner and the relationship.
  • “You inspire me to be a better person” – This can show how your partner’s qualities and actions motivate you to be your best self.
