10 Powerful Affirmations Based on the Phoenix

There’s a reason phoenix artwork, tattoos, and other imagery abound in our society. The sacred bird of myth offers such a powerful concept: the idea of rising from the ashes, stepping forward, and becoming ... spectacular. Phoenixes are immortal, but I think what really appeals to most people is the transformational aspect.

Sometimes pain, suffering, loss, and transition can engulf us, but in truth, as we are inside a crucible we are also becoming new versions of ourselves. We can turn these trials-by-fire into an opportunity to burn off anything unwanted and reveal a new sense of self. Use these phoenix-inspired affirmations to celebrate any aspect of stepping forward from a fiery past and into your full glory.

1. Every dawn, I am born anew.
2. I welcome my transformation.
3. Still, I rise.
4. I am newly strong and wise.
5. Destruction is part of creation.
6. I trust the supernova inside me.
7. I am fierce and free.
8. I release what no longer serves me.
9. A new vision of myself is emerging.
