85+ Driving Affirmations To Build Your Confidence Fast!

Are you worried about driving on the road? Driving affirmations are the best way to become more confident in your driving and have peace of mind on the road.

If you’re new to some of this, affirmations are statements with the intention of affirming something positive to be true.

Ideally, you want to use statements that either inspire, motivate, or encourage you.

There are a lot of things that can cause stress on the road. So that’s why you want to use something easy, free, and readily available when you’re feeling anxious on the road.

That’s where this wonderful list of affirmations for driving comes in handy.

Feel free to pick out your top favorite affirmations (3-5) to use to boost your confidence and keep calm.

What Are Driving Affirmations?

Well, I’m glad you asked. Affirmations by themselves are positive statements used with the intention of motivating, inspiring, or encouraging you.

Affirmations are typically used to break some sort of negative thought pattern or belief that is holding you back (aka limiting beliefs).

So, driving affirmations are positive statements that you use with the intention of motivating, inspiring, and encouraging you to become that excellent driver that you know you can be.

Specifically driving affirmations can:

Help get rid of limiting beliefs
Inspire you to take action
Reframe your mindset around driving
Improve your self-confidence
Help you remain calm on the road

How To Use Driving Affirmations

Because affirmations are not something super complicated, using them is not super complicated either.

There are three main things you want to do when using driving affirmations.

Use them consistently
Visualize before or after your driving affirmations
Let go of doubts

1. Use Them Consistently

You want to use your affirmations consistently because consistent actions equals consistent results. Lazy actions equals lazy results.

So if you choose to be a little on the lazier side and only say your affirmations here and there (no judgment because I used to be there too), then you’re more than likely not going to get the results you’re looking for.

That’s why using your affirmations consistently, ideally at least once a day each day, will tremendously help you in achieving your goals.

2. Visualize Before Or After Your Driving Affirmations

Visualization is a powerful tool that brings you closer to your goals.

How does this work?

When you use visualization consistently you are creating neural pathways, which is essentially changing your brain. This process is also known as neuroplasticity.

Neuroplasticity is rewiring your brain to function in a way that it did not function in the past. Why do you want to rewire your brain?

Well, because you want to learn how to drive, right?

Learning how to drive comes with learning new skills and responding to things you’re not used to responding to. So what better way to ease into this process than using quick and free solutions?

May I add that according to Better Help, “Many successful people are crediting the act of visualization as the secret to their success.”

When you visualize you want to:

Go to a quiet space
Close your eyes
Take a few deep breaths
Start to imagine what it is you want

In that order.

When I visualize it helps me to get detailed because it really makes me feel like I’m experiencing it.

3. Let Go Of Doubts

If you say your driving affirmations and then immediately allow doubt and worry to swirl around in your mind then it defeats the purpose. Why?

Because it’s almost like canceling it out.

It’s crucial that you exercise that muscle of letting fear and doubts go. I’m not saying you’re supposed to do this overnight because, to be honest with you, that’s not possible.

I’m also not saying that you should never be afraid or doubt anything because again that’s not possible, and actually sometimes it’s necessary.

It starts to become an issue when those fears are holding you back from your true potential or they aren’t serving a purpose, like for example keeping you safe from harm.

When you notice fearful thinking start to creep up, make the effort to either challenge your negative thoughts or dismiss them altogether.
