These affirmations of love are simple and yet powerfully effective as the massive changes in my life show (a bit more on that later).
But exactly what are affirmations of love and how do you use them to bring love into your life?
If you want to learn how to use positive affirmations for self love or discover how you too can employ positive affirmations to bring love into your life, keep reading this post.
Note: I normally get inspiration from a lot of different sources such as meditations, poems, videos and books.
What are affirmations and how do they work?
Affirmations or auto suggestions are essentially positive statements about something that are used to manifest a specific person, feeling or experience.
These statements are repeatedly written or said aloud, with the conviction that they are or soon will come true.
In 1916, French therapist Émile Coué de la Châtaigneraie introduced the now famous and well-loved affirmation, “Every day in every way, I’m getting better and better.”
He advised his patients to say this statement 20 times after waking up, another 20 times before falling asleep and as often as possible during the day.
According to his presentation in the Psychological Congress in Paris, those who followed his recommendations did indeed get better and better simply because of frequent repetition that bypasses the mind’s ability to resist the change.
In other words, Coué’s patients didn’t have to do anything other than to ensure that they repeated the generic statement above (nothing too specific!) as often as possible – at least 40 times every day.
Intriguing, isn’t it?
So, how does this translate to bringing love into your life?
Simple, we just create affirmations for love.
What are affirmations for love?
Based on our definition above, affirmations of love are simply positive statements that are designed to help you manifest love or overcome whatever is blocking love from showing up in your life.
This doesn’t have to be a grand love affair with your soulmate. Although, it could be if you wanted it.
Maybe you feel that you need to focus on loving yourself more (excellent choice by the way!).
Or maybe you want to be a more loving partner or parent.
As you know, there are different types of love.
And affirmations of love can bring you the exact kind you want and need in your life.
Positive affirmations to bring love into your life
I started using positive affirmations in mid-2012.
I’ve just had a year of heartaches, major life changes and a lot of good-byes.
I was completely drained. Everything took too much of an effort and I spent so many days just curled up in bed, my mind empty.
Purely by chance, I came across Christie Marie Sheldon’s Love or Above programme, which contained a variety of tools that were easy enough to learn and use.
Chief among them was the process of creative visualisation and in a chapter dedicated to choosing your reality, she gave several real-life examples of creative visualisation at work.
One of these examples was Jim Carrey, who harnessed affirmations to creatively visualise and manifest a successful career. The rest, as they say, is history.
At the time, my life was going nowhere and I was experiencing a midlife crisis at the ripe old age of 28. I figured I had nothing to lose and everything to gain so I tried it.
Side Note: Rock bottom is actually the best place to start because you can’t go anywhere but up. Also, you’re far more willing to try things you’d never have considered before. So, if this is where you’re at right now. Keep reading. Your life is about to change.
How to use positive affirmations for love
Other people may approach affirmations differently but this is how I did it:
Step 1: Focus on one theme or category depending on what I’m manifesting at any given point in time. For example, I first focused on self-love. My second aim was attracting my soulmate. The third was creating a family. And so on. You can choose whatever you wish to manifest here (though I always recommend starting with yourself).
Step 2: Visualise what you wish to happen and then write your affirmations down.
Step 3: Edit your statement as you see fit. Remember that it needs to be positive and has either already happened or is in the process. You can use poetry or quotes that really speak to you. For example, I love Desiderata and include this particular phrase in my affirmations as often as I can: “I am a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. I have a right to be here.”
Step 4: Write the affirmations in our journal at least 10 times each day.
Step 5: Spend some time (at least 5 minutes) to really let the affirmation sink in. If you can, close your eyes and imagine the statement happening right now. What would you feel?
It’s painstaking, yes, but I swear by that process, so I really encourage you to try it for yourself.
Personalise these affirmations. Make them your own. And then you’ll begin to notice opportunities that were not there before, thoughts you never had, people you would never have met.
Allow these positive affirmations for loving relationships to do their magic and change your life.
It will shock you.

The positive affirmations for self love and acceptance that you will see in the following subsections are taken from a variety of sources that have really touched my heart.

Positive affirmations for self-love #2: Conversations with God, Book 1
The first book of a three-part series, Conversations with God Book 1 changed my life and continue to change it in unexpected ways as it challenges every belief I hold regarding life and love.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face: If you haven’t read this book yet, you need to get it ASAP.
Borrow it from your local library, get a cheap copy in your charity shop (if it’s there) or get one from your local bookstore (or from the almighty Amazon, where everything seems to be available).
Get it and read it with an open mind and see if anything resonates with you.
I personally use and have used phrases and sentences from this book as affirmations to re-create my life. Here, I’m sharing with you what really resonated with me (AKA what really worked for me) from the first eight chapters.
Chapter 1
I love and am loved without condition.
I live in love.
I listen closely to the voice within.
I am created in the image and likeness of God.
Every day, I create the best version of myself.
Every day, I remember who I truly am: a divine part of the divine whole.
I am a Master. I create the situation and circumstance for my own highest purpose and my own quickest remembering – in each moment called now.
I am the light.
I praise creation even when I seek to change it.
Every day, I render life holy.
I am still. I quiet the outer world so that the inner world might bring me sight.
My potential is unlimited in all that I’ve chosen to do.
I bless myself as well as every person and condition – and give thanks.
I affirm the perfection of God’s creation and show my faith in it with every action, every day.
I create my life exactly as it is.
I am the creator of my reality and life can show up no other way for me than the way in which I think it will. I think my life into being.
I can be, do and have whatever I imagine.
I attract what I love.
Love is all there is. It is the ultimate reality. It is the only. The all. The feeling of love is my experience of God.
Love is all there is, all there was and all there will ever be.
I choose only love. In every instance. In every moment. In every circumstance.
Love is the answer.
Chapter 2
My life is the gift; the unspeakable treasure; the holy of holies.
I am life.
I love and am loved without fear.
I have free will.
I know and experience myself as who I really am.
My whole life process is an experience of constant joy, continuous creation, never-ending expansion, and total fulfillment in each moment of now.
I am totally joyful, loving, accepting, blessing and grateful.
I tell the world who I am with pride and dignity because I am happy with myself.
Everything in my life is holy.
Chapter 3
I choose to let my life unfold in all its glory.
I live the promise of God – that I am made in his image and likeness.
I think, speak and act as the God I am.
I live the highest vision of myself.
I consciously change my thoughts, words and actions to align with my grandest vision of myself.
I consciously and continuously make positive choices.
I am unconditionally loving.
I choose to express unconditional love – consciously.
I imagine my life the way I want it to be and release every thought, word and action that does not fall into harmony with that.
I listen to my soul so that I’m clear about what it’s after. I go with my soul’s desire – the highest feeling of love beyond my imagining.
I experience perfect love.
I am perfect love.
I am born of God.
I am goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. I am peace and joy and light. I am forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion.
I am the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. I am all these things. And I choose now to know myself as these things always.
Chapter 4
I have absolute faith and complete certainty that anything I choose to create will be made manifest in reality.
I am always grateful before and for the creation.
I celebrate and enjoy all that I create and have already created.
I am clear in what I wish to create.
I throw all negative thoughts, lose all pessimism, release all doubts, reject all fears. I discipline my mind to hold fast to the original creative thought born of love.
My thoughts of love are clear and steadfast so I speak them as truths. I say them out loud.
I harness my thoughts. I think about what I’m thinking about.
Chapter 5
I understand that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody I have to be except exactly who I’m being right now.
I remember that I’m constantly in the act of creating myself. I am in every moment deciding who and what I am via the choices I make regarding who and what I feel passionate about.
I am free. I live my life without expectation, without the need for specific results.
I am, at the core of my wonderful Self, perfect love.
I know that passion is the path to Self-realisation.
The point of life is to notice that I am, and have always been, already there. I am, always and forever, in the moment of pure creation. The point of life is to create who and what I am and to experience that.
Chapter 6
I understand the power of the Word and, therefore, I choose carefully what I make real.
I openly celebrate love.
I have the courage to create and experience a world where making love is considered better than making war.
Chapter 7
I dedicate my whole mind, body and soul to the process of Self-realisation – of creating myself in the image and likeness of God.
I dedicate my life to conscious creation, to creation with a purpose. I use the tools of creation available to me with awareness and sublime intention.
My happy destiny is unavoidable.
I live in my God space always.
I always get what I create and I am always creating.
Chapter 8
I am happy in my relationships.
I bless each and every experience, all human encounter, and especially personal human relationships for allowing me to consciously and intentionally construct who I really am.

I share true love with a partner who is secure, confident and my match in every way and who gives me not only what I want but also what I need.

Being kind to others, animals and nature is a good way of showing love and in return find self love.
Others might not show you love even when you displease yourself to please them but nevertheless continue in your good stead and you will find fulfilment.
Love comes naturally, maybe from a spouse or siblings or friends or strangers, you may not feel it all at once but in time.
You might end up being the best good Samaritan of all time doing good deeds everywhere and still feel used if you look unto others to reciprocate the love you have shown them to no avail.
Myou advise to us is to do the best we can in caring for all regardless of age, creed or race and take satisfaction in all we do and we will finally find love in all forms.
Thanks for the post, it’s beneficial for me. Agree on self-love is essential in our daily life. Often people find it hard to love others, one of the reason will be they don’t even love themselves yet, giving your self the positvie though and getting higher every day does help. Booked marked your tab, going to look at when I need it, thank you very much for this.
Hey thank you so much for this post!! I like this post because it involves psychology, and that was actually my major in College! We often forget the power of Affirmation in our lives, because it is a very helpful thing! I used to write down affirmations for college tests, and I typically did pretty well on those. I have not seen it done for love so I’m interested in this!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience, Jessie. I took a few psychology classes whilst I was at uni and I absolutely loved it. You can use affirmations for pretty much anything. I always say that it’s like ordering on Amazon. You just need to wait for the delivery. 🙂
I really enjoyed reading this post. I believe in a positive mind, give positive and you will receive positive and it is all exactly as you are saying that you need to repeat these positive affirmations before the mind will actually rewire. One negative thought is worth 10 positive and more often than not it is easier to think negatively about life than positively.
I really like that you incorporated a step by step on how to get started. It will truly come in handy.
Getting into meditation can be a tad harder than just the affirmations. It did for me anyways, I feel like it takes a long time to train your mind to stay focused through a meditation.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alexandra. And I’m glad to know you enjoyed the post. Positivity definitely trumps negativity but we’re so inclined to think negative that we really need to pay attention to our thoughts – at least, in the beginning.
This is great information to help a person manifest the positive loving things that they want in their life. It’s important to make sure that affirmations are getting through in a positive manner instead of reinforcing the things we’d like to avoid or move past. Thanks for the tips and the book recommendations. These can only help to bring love into one’s life!
