Inclusion of Daily Positive Affirmations in Morning Assemblies
Education Desk : CBSE, through its circular CBSE/Media & PR/Counseling/2025 dated 06.05.2025, has advised all affiliated school principals and heads to include daily positive affirmations in the morning assemblies from the academic session 2025–26.
This CBSE Daily Affirmations initiative reflects the board’s commitment to promoting the holistic development of students. The goal is to help students start their day with confidence, clarity, and a positive mindset, which in turn supports their emotional well-being and personal growth.
Positive affirmations are short and meaningful sentences. They help students build a strong self-image, stay emotionally strong, and think positively. Saying these lines daily can improve their confidence, focus, and mental well-being. With this small habit, we can help children grow emotionally and become confident individuals who can build a better future.
Objectives of the CBSE Daily Affirmations initiative:
- To support the socio-emotional development of students.
- To instil a positive and respectful school culture.
- To encourage self-reflection and emotional regulation.
- To help students start their day with clarity, calm, and confidence.
Schools are encouraged to include the following affirmations during morning assemblies:
1. I am always happy.
मैं हमेशा खुश रहता हूँ / रहती हूँ।
2. I am calm and stable in every situation.
मैं हर परिस्थिति में शांत और स्थिर रहता हूँ / रहती हूँ।
3. My memory and concentration are excellent.
मेरी एकाग्रता और स्मरण शक्ति बढ़िया है।
4. I eat healthy food; my body is perfect and disease-free.
मैं स्वास्थ्यवर्धक भोजन करता हूँ / करती हूँ; मेरा शरीर निरोगी है।
5. I use gadgets only for studying.
मैं गैजेट्स का उपयोग केवल पढ़ाई के लिए करता हूँ / करती हूँ।
6. I respect everyone. I respect nature.
मैं सबका सम्मान करता हूँ / करती हूँ। मैं प्रकृति का सम्मान करता हूँ / करती हूँ।
