35 Affirmations for JOY and HAPPINESS!

You deserve happiness, and you deserve joy in your life. But sometimes life can get in the way. Using affirmations for joy can help you see the power of the joy you hold, and the joy which you have yet to tap into.

Why is joy so important, anyway?

Joy has never been more important. With climate change, political tensions, the COVID pandemic, job loss, sudden homeschooling, and many other stressors we’ve encountered in 2020, joy may seem like a distant memory.

Joy actually has many benefits, such as:

1. stronger immune system
2. fights stress
3. promotes a long life
4. boosts blood-flow
5. makes you healthier

Feeling joy and happiness can actually rewire your brain. The more you feel joy, the more you want joy. And the more you want joy, the more you push aside what are considered “negative”, low-vibration emotions, like frustration, disappointment, anger, hatred, or resentment.

Feeling joy more frequently can help you understand those negative emotions better and help you embrace a more objective point of view when something negative happens.

Using Affirmations to Inspire Joy

When you’re using affirmations, it’s important that you remember a few key points:

1. Choose the ones that resonate powerfully with you.
2. Affirmations need to be repeated, whether by writing or speaking.
3. You need to feel the elevated emotions of joy and love while you’re saying the affirmations.

According to the Healthline article on joy linked above, Dr. Samuel says:

“Smiling can trick your brain by elevating your mood, lowering your heart rate, and reducing your stress. The smile doesn’t have to be based on real emotion because faking it works as well.”

That means that if you’re working on affirmations for joy, you should be smiling! Even faking it at first can make a big impact!
