Affirmations for studying

Affirmations for studying are short, positive sentences you listen to before or between study sessions, to settle your mind and trust what you're learning. They help most when they're personal and repeated. Below are 20 to try, plus how Qalevia plays them in your own voice with a calm-focus sound layer.

How to use affirmations for studying

  1. 1

    Listen before you start, not during. Spoken words compete with reading, so use your affirmations to set up the session.

  2. 2

    Use your breaks. A few minutes of listening between study blocks helps you reset.

  3. 3

    Wear headphones for the calm-focus binaural layer, which needs a separate sound in each ear.

  4. 4

    Keep going through exam season. Many people find the lines steady them most when the pressure rises.

Write your own study affirmation

  • Say it in the present tense, as if it's already true.
  • Say what you want, not what you don't want.
  • Keep it to one short sentence.

Instead of: “I'm not going to fail.”

Try: “I am prepared and I pass.”

Instead of: “I can't focus.”

Try: “I focus easily on one thing at a time.”

Instead of: “I hope I remember everything.”

Try: “I remember what I studied.”

In Qalevia you can write your own lines, and they're spoken exactly as you wrote them, in your own voice.
