Ten Affirmations for Back-to-School
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. And for once, I’m not talking about Fall or the Christmas/December/holiday time.
Here (in the United States, at least), it’s back to school time.
Whether you’re in the South, Mid-West, or the North, you’re probably already back to school or gearing up to get ready for back to school in September. It’s no secret that this is my favorite time of the year because I love all things Fall. From the flavors, fashion, and activities, Fall is true the best time of year. However, another reason that I love this time of the year is back-to-school shopping. As a stationery lover, I absolutely adored shopping for new back-to-school supplies. I love the smell of new notebooks, pens, and writing utensils.
If you’re a planner lover, you might feel the same way! Although this time is filled with fun, shopping, and new stationery discoveries, it could also be a stress- or anxiety-inducing time, especially depending on your academic program. For me, back-to-school shopping became less fun when I was in law school (and anticipating all of the stress and work in the upcoming semester). I try not to have regrets, but I do wish that I did more during this back-to-school time to feed off of the excitement from new stationery to keep my spirits high about the new quarter/semester. I wish I practiced self-care more to help me get ready for the school year.
So in honor of this time of the year, here are ten affirmations you can use as you start or continue the new school year!
I have everything I need to succeed this year.
I will succeed this year.
I am open to new opportunities to grow and learn this year.
I will define what success means to me this year.
Nothing is too hard for me.
I am smart. I am a hard worker. I am a smart worker.
I will worker smarter this year.
I will work hard and play hard this year.
Everything will work in my favor.
My grades do not define me.
Cheers to a new school year filled with the best pens, stationery, and affirmations! May the year be filled with success (as you define it) and learning.
