Self-Love: 30 Positive Affirmations for November

Please accept my apologies in advance because this batch of 30 daily positive affirmations for November are not the happiest or most upbeat I've ever written. And there's a reason for that. I think I have to finally accept that I struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder and these shorter days, longer nights, also darken my mood.

If you can relate (if you are indeed in the Northern Hemisphere) then it's my hope at least that these positive affirmations will offer you some comfort or a new perspective on these lulls in mood we experience as the weather changes and so does our energy.

Daily Positive Affirmations for November

As with each month's batches in this year-long affirmation extravaganza, I don't expect you to relate to every single one. It's always most effective when only a few speak to you and you really focus on them. If you don't know how to do affirmation, I always say it's as simple as reading the words of an affirmation out loud, if you can and repeating until it starts to morph into a thought rather than a message. If you can't or don't want to say it out loud, that's fine - just say it in your head, but do so when you can give it your full attention.

If you want to know more about affirmation, you can find out how and why it works here, and you can find lists of positive affirmations for depression, for when you feel overwhelmed, for anxiety, and for healing via those links. This is also my go-to list of my favourite and most simple and effective daily positive affirmations.

Now, here we go with 30 daily positive affirmations for November.
