Which is better I am or you are in affirmations?

When you use I Am, you are affirming who you are, you are telling your subconscious that you are already those things. When you say you are, you are basically affirming someone else. If you are repeating affirmations to yourself, I would recommend I Am affirmations.

Do affirmations have to start with I am?

Should affirmations be written or spoken?

Affirmations can be written, read or spoken aloud. It’s all about repetition—the more frequently you hear, read, or speak a word or phrase, the more it will sink into your subconscious mind and take root.

Should affirmations be in first or second person?

Affirmations are effective, but how does one put them into practice? A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that affirmations in second or third person were more effective in reducing stress and anxiety than using first-person ones.

Write your affirmations in the present tense. For example, “I easily see my own worth and value” is better than “I will easily see my own worth and value.” It’s also better not to put a time frame on your affirmation, such as a certain date or “within three months,” because doing so limits your time to make it happen.
