Science has long touted the benefits of reciting self-affirmations and directing these words at\u00a0yourself in the mirror.<\/p>\n

The practice of acknowledging\u00a0yourself first thing in the morning and filling your body\u00a0with confidence-boosting sentiments motivates you throughout the\u00a0day.<\/p>\n

How you feel about yourself is most important. And to be frank, no one is going to believe your bullsh*t if you don\u2019t, either.<\/p>\n

So you\u2019ve got to come to peace with the person you are and remind yourself daily of that path.<\/p>\n

The day starts with you.<\/p>\n

But sometimes you need a little more inspiration, so here\u2019s what 14\u00a0super aspirational and confident women tell themselves in the mirror every morning.<\/p>\n

Drew Barrymore, owner of Flower Beauty<\/h2>\n
\"1\"\"1\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cI do need to get dressed more. Even just putting jeans and a t-shirt on seems so dressy to me. It\u2019s pajamas and sweatpants with kids for like, so much of the morning and all of a sudden it\u2019s like 11 or noon and you\u2019re still in that saggy outfit and you\u2019re like, \u2018Just put a bra on.\u2019<\/em> And a jean. And Step. It. Up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to tell myself in the morning every day that I have to do everything I can that day. I know it\u2019s 5 in the morning and the monitor is going off, but you get up and you rock it with the kids and you go. And then, the phone starts ringing and the work starts pouring in and your husband\u2019s like, \u2018Can we go out to dinner?\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018\u2026Of course we can, honey! Yes! Of course!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just try to hit that pillow at night like a sack of potatoes thinking, \u2018I tried to give everyone I loved as much as I could and make them happy.\u2019<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Robin Moraetes, CEO and Cofounder of DreamDry<\/h2>\n
\"2\"\"2\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cEvery morning I look in the mirror and say that today is going to be a glamorous day. Glamour has so many meanings to me, it\u2019s an essential part of the way I help other women feel at DreamDry and reminds me to make sure each day is exciting, special and fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Logan Rich Chabina, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer at EMM Group<\/h2>\n
\"3\"\"3\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cEvery day I remind myself to be grateful for what I have and work harder for what I want. Choose happiness, and then go out and make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u200bAmy Sacco, Partner at No.8<\/h2>\n
\"4\"\"4\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cMy daily mantra comes from a few different famous quotes and odes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Stay focused. Stay positive. Keep your chin up and your feet on the ground. Do a good deed for another in need, and remember that it takes only one small step forward each day to effect change!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is usually accompanied by a very loud blast of festive favorite tunes\u2026 \u2018Staying Alive\u2019 (Bee Gees); \u2018I Want to Rock and Roll All Night\u2019\u00a0(Kiss); \u2018Rocky Theme or Killer Queen\u2019 (Queen); \u2018America\u2019 (Neil Diamond) or what I am listening to right now\u2026 \u2018YMCA\u2019 by the Village People!!!!\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n

\n

Wende Zomnir, Chief Creative Officer and Cofounder of Urban Decay Cosmetics<\/h2>\n
\"5\"\"5\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cYou better get to the gym this morning or things are gonna get ugly! Go! (Seriously, I go because it serves me on many levels\u2026 and it\u2019s good for my family because if I\u2019m healthy, I\u2019m not a burden to them).\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Jenny Fleiss, Cofounder and Head of Business Development at Rent the Runway<\/h2>\n
\"6\"\"6\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t forget to stop and enjoy the ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, \u201cYou\u2019re never fully dressed without a smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, L\u2019Or\u00e9al Paris Consulting Dermatologist<\/h2>\n
\"7\"\"7\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cEvery morning I tell myself that every day is precious. You must savor each second, especially your children. Kiss them, hug them and tell them how special they are!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Sarah Ahmed, Creative Director & Zahra Ahmed, Director of International Business Development at DL1961 Premium Denim<\/h2>\n
\"8\"\"8\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cNavigating through this industry as sisters makes it both exponentially easier and harder, but the result is having someone who understands exactly what you\u2019re going through, empathizes with you, but still tells you to get it together and be exceptional anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Linda Boff, Executive Director of Global Brand Marketing of GE<\/h2>\n
\"9\"\"9\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cI love the theatre and often have a song going through my head. One that I frequently turn to in the morning as a motivator is the song \u2018Defying Gravity,\u2019 from\u00a0\u2018Wicked.\u2019 It always picks me up and reminds me to trust myself and my gut rather than conventional wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Alexandra Chong, Founder of Lulu<\/h2>\n
\"10\"\"10\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like a dog with a bone. I never give up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Elana Drell Szyfer, CEO at Laura Geller Beauty<\/h2>\n
\"11\"\"11\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cI have to make tough calls every day. I always try to be fair \u2014 I consider the business aspects, the personal elements, the emotional repercussions. A very close friend once said to me, \u2018Elana, you can never go wrong by doing right.\u2019 And what she meant was, just do the right thing, and it will work out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI say that to myself now all the time. Another thing that my mother taught me was, \u2018<\/em>You have to wake up every day and look yourself in the mirror.\u2019 What it means is, make decisions you can live with \u2014 you have to answer to yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Samantha Marquart, Studio Manager at Windmark Recording<\/h2>\n
\"12\"\"12\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cMy grandfather always used to say, \u2018May your every day be the first day of summer, and the beginning of a great adventure,\u2019 which is something I try to remind myself of daily. It is important to be passionate about whatever you do day in and day out, both in life and in business.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue success is following the dreams that make you happy and discovering a way to find happiness in each day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Jennifer Halliday, Chief Business Development Officer at The Wakaya Group\/Wakaya Perfection<\/h2>\n
\"13\"\"13\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cEach day I try to remind myself of two simple, yet important, keys to living a successful life. First, it\u2019s important to always stay grounded and ensure that you are measured and realistic in your goals for the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond, don\u2019t let that keep you from dreaming big and reaching for the stars. Anything is possible with hard work, commitment, passion and dedication, so while it is important to remain true to yourself, always strive for greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Aarthi Ramamurthy, Founder of Lumoid<\/h2>\n
\"14\"\"14\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cI like this quote by Michael Jordan, \u2018Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.’\u201d<\/p>\n
