This post is all about using job affirmations to find and thrive in your dream career.
I have found myself at a career crossroads.
My family is moving out of state and I haven’t been able to find a new job.
To be honest, it seems like God is leading me to change careers and to become a full-time entrepreneur but y’all, the thought has me shaking in my boots.
I really thought I would retire in my current career!
Among so many other concerns and doubts, I keep wondering if I have what it takes to start a brand new career and I also wonder who I will be when I can’t define myself by my current job.
As you know from my many affirmation posts, I believe in using positive thinking to bring about positive outcomes.
So, in this post, I am sharing lists of job affirmations that are created specifically for workplace success.

How to Attract Your Dream Job
One of the steps to attracting your dream job is to change your mental atmosphere. There are so many limiting beliefs that we pick up through life (from our childhood, our relationships, media, etc) that keep us from taking risks and working towards what we want.
You can break those negative belief systems using affirmations.
Affirmations are declarative statements that you speak to yourself to achieve a desired result. With repetition, the words start to take root in your subconscious and this will change your attitude, your behavior and affect the way you make moves and decisions.
(For more information on daily affirmations, read positive affirmations to say every day).
Even If you don’t plan on a new job anytime soon, affirmations can skyrocket your confidence, encourage you to go after promotions and overall, lower your stress and improve your job satisfaction.
How to Use Affirmations to Ace an Interview or Find a New Job
For interview success or to find a new job, you must combine the use of affirmations with actual actions. You still have to set goals, develop skills and keep your eyes open for opportunities.
Do not expect someone to call you with an amazing career simply because you read through these affirmations. Do not stop sending in applications or preparing for your interviews.
Affirmations are not magic. That is not how they work. (Faith without works is dead, amiright?)
What the affirmations will do is to get rid of limiting mindsets that make you second guess your value, keep you stuck in the same old position or make you think that you can’t be happy at work. They will help you get rid of self sabotaging habits that keep you from moving forward (things like being late, not trying your best or being too scared to share innovative ideas that you come up with).
How to Use Job Affirmations
- Write or print out a list of affirmations (use the ones below if you can’t think of any)
2. Repeat them daily with faith and without distractions.
- Some good times to say your affirmations include:
- Before getting out of bed (keep them on notecards on your bedside)
- In front of the mirror as you prepare for work
- In the car as you drive to work or drive to an interview
- At your work desk or cubicle when you encounter doubt or work stress
- In your head as you wait to be called in for an interview (or evaluation)
