Affirmation for Making Decisions with Confidence

Making decisions with confidence is a learned skill.  It comes from making some bad decisions and learning from those mistakes.  Decisions—big or small—can stir up anxiety. What if you make the wrong choice? What if it leads to regret? These questions can trap you in a loop of hesitation and second-guessing, especially if you’re used to prioritizing everyone else’s needs over your own.

But here’s the truth: you do know what’s right for you. Deep down, your intuition is always offering quiet guidance. The challenge is trusting yourself enough to act on it. Confidence doesn’t mean never feeling uncertain—it means learning to move forward even when you do.

This affirmation is for those times when you’re spinning your wheels, afraid to choose. It’s time to come back to yourself.

About Weekly Affirmations:

Each week, I find it helpful to focus on a single affirmation. Personally, using the same affirmation for seven days is more effective for me, so I will share them with you each Thursday. You might wonder why Thursday? Over the years, I’ve noticed that Thursday is often when I feel the most overwhelmed. By starting my affirmation on Thursday, I give myself the weekend to reflect, journal, and integrate it. Writing down your thoughts and feelings during this time can help deepen your connection to the affirmation, allowing it to naturally flow into your life.

Feel free to use these affirmations in a way that fits your life. There’s no right or wrong way, as long as you use them consistently to nurture your mind, body, and spirit.

What Are Affirmations?

Affirmations are positive, uplifting statements that help shift your mindset and focus on what you want to manifest in your life. Whether you speak them aloud, write them down, or repeat them in your thoughts, affirmations are a simple yet powerful tool to support healing and transformation. Words have energy. Let them lift you.

This Week’s Affirmation:

“I trust my inner wisdom and choose with clarity and confidence.”

Let this affirmation guide you back to your own inner knowing. You are capable of choosing what aligns with your spirit.

Journaling Prompts for Reflection:
