As a very eager, but continuously learning, social worker, I get caught up in thinking that I’m not quite sure what I’m doing most of the time. Here are some affirmations that I tried to create for myself and others:

1. There are many right ways to do something
2. I learn from my mistakes.
3. One small act of good matters.
4. I can change things for the better.
5. I have value in my field.
6. One mistake does not define me.
7. It is okay to ask questions.
8. Worrying means I care, so some worry is okay.
9. It is okay to speak up with an idea.
10. It is okay to ask for what I want.
11. Caring about my clients is 99% of the battle.
12. Who I am is all I can be.
13. There are resources and people who can help me.
14. I accept myself for who I am and where I am.
15. My supervisors and mentors once stood in my shoes.
16. I am good at ______.
17. ________ praised me for _________.
18. Taking care of myself helps me help others.
19. I can set any goal for myself.
20. I am important to others.
21. I cannot solve every problem that I see. I contribute to solutions by doing my best in my small part of the world.
