Imagine a world where everyone loves themselves. There is no hate or violence toward other people because nobody is insecure about their own lives.

People are content. Fighting and war are no longer an issue. Happiness is abundant.

The key to a peaceful world is personal self-improvement. Love for others is the most powerful tool that humans have. And yet, nobody can love others without first loving themselves.

The journey to self-improvement starts with mantras. Repeat one or more of these 12 self-improvement mantras every day to create a more beautiful life.

Why Are Mantras Important?

Remember the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? That’s actually not the case. Words are very powerful.

Especially the words that roll around in your own mind. The way you talk to yourself affects everything in your life. Thoughts and words are so powerful that they can actually make you do things you wouldn’t normally do.

For example, if you believe that you’re fat and ugly, you might allow yourself to eat an entire pie for breakfast. Your thought might be “Well, I’m fat and ugly anyway, let’s go for the whole pie.”

That’s exactly why you need to nix the negative self-talk right now. And replace those nasty words with positive self-improvement mantras.

Top 12 Self-Improvement Mantras

1. I Love You

This mantra makes the top of this list because it’s the most important mantra of all. When you say “I love you” to yourself, you open the door for true self-improvement.

Love is a powerful tool. And you can’t spread love to others without first loving yourself.

It’s difficult to practice self-love because many people learn that it’s greedy or selfish to love yourself. But that’s not true.

Tell yourself how much you love you every day, many times per day to make a big difference in your life.

2. I Am in Control

That’s right folks, you are in control. Stop blaming others for your problems. Start taking responsibility.

The good news is that when you take responsibility for your life, you can do anything. There are no limitations in a world where you control your thoughts and decisions.

3. I Am Confident

Don’t feel confident? That’s what this mantra is here to fix.

If you tell yourself every day that you are strong and confident, you will eventually believe it. And you will use that confidence to make better decisions.

4. My Body Is Beautiful

Remember that self-talk is powerful. The more you tell yourself that your body is ugly, the more damage you do to your self-esteem.

Negative body talk leads to a whole lot of other mental health issues like eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. Stop those thoughts now. Tell yourself every day that your body is beautiful and it deserves the best.

5. I Am Surrounded By Good, Sparkly Vibes

Tweak the wording of this mantra to your liking. The point of it is to remind you that good things surround you. And you should acknowledge those good things.

Say this one in the mornings so you feel those positive, sparkly vibes around you all day.

6. Everything I Need Is Here

It’s true. Everything you need in life is here for you already. You need to go out and get it.

This is a great mantra if there are areas of your life that you aren’t satisfied with. Remember that you are in control. So if you want to make more money, or find love, you have the power to do it.

7. I Am Loved

Not only do you need to remind yourself that you love you, but you need to remember that others love you too.

Maybe you believe in a higher power or an abundant universe or God. Channel that love and make yourself believe that it targets you.

This mantra helps you to spread love to others too. You are loved and you can love others.

8. My Positive Mindset Is Strong

A positive mindset is one of the most powerful things you have. And cultivating mindfulness is easier than you might think.

Start your day with quiet meditation to create a strong, positive mindset. Do it by repeating this mantra while you meditate. You’ll be surprised at how a positive mindset can shape your day.

9. The Universe Has My Back

It’s always nice to know that you’ve got someone in your corner, supporting you. For this mantra, you can change the wording how you like. Replace “universe” with your higher power of choice.

But the important part is to remember that you have supporters. You are not navigating this life alone.

10. I Create and Deserve Happiness

Not only do you deserve happiness, but you create that happiness by loving yourself and others. Say this mantra when you start to doubt your own greatness.

You are in control of your life. It’s not anyone else’s job to make you happy. So go out there and create the happiness you deserve.

11. Today I Spread Love to Others

Treat those around you with respect and love. It will come back to you three-fold. Repeat this mantra throughout the day, not only in the morning.

Remind yourself every day that your purpose is to spread the love.

12. I Am Grateful

The most important mantra of all. Be grateful.

It’s difficult to look at the splendor of the world around you and not be grateful. No matter how difficult life is, there’s always a reason for gratitude. So repeat this one every day, no matter what.

Use Mantras Daily to Improve Your Life

Self-improvement isn’t easy. But choosing to change your words creates a powerful effect. And the best way to start the journey for self-improvement is to start using mantras.

Make it a habit to say positive mantras every morning when you wake. Then say them throughout the day to keep your attitude strong. And finally, say grateful, loving mantras at night to put your mind at ease.
