Subject: Inclusion of Daily Positive Affirmations in Morning Assemblies
Dear Ma’am/Sir,
In line with CBSE’s commitment to promote the holistic development of students, all affiliated schools are advised to incorporate daily positive affirmations into their morning assembly routines from the academic session 2025–26.
Positive affirmations are short, meaningful phrases that help individuals develop a constructive self- image, emotional resilience, and a mindset rooted in growth and optimism. Regular engagement with such affirmations has been shown to significantly enhance individual’s mental well-being, confidence, and focus. Together, let’s help our children grow not just academically, but emotionally—so they become confident individuals ready to shape a better world.
Objectives of the 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 पररस्थिस्त में शाांत और स्थिर रहता हूँ/ रहती हूँ।
3. My memory and concentration are excellent.
मेरी एकाग्रता और स्मरण शक्ति बढ़िया हैं।
4. I eat healthy food; my body is perfect and disease-free.
मैं स्वास्थ्यवर्धक भोजन ग्रहण करता हूँ/ रहती हूँ; मेरा शरीर निरोगी है।
5. I use gadgets only for studying.
मैं गैजेट्स का उपयोग केवल पढ़ाई के लिए हूँ/ रहती हूँ।
6. I respect everyone. I respect nature.
मैं सबका सम्मान करता हूँ/ रहती हूँ। मैं प्रकृति का सम्मान करता हूँ/ रहती हूँ।
Implementation Guidelines:
- Schools may introduce 1–2 short affirmations each morning during the assembly.
- Affirmations should be age-appropriate, inclusive, and rooted in values of empathy, courage, and self-worth. Schools may customize affirmations further to align with their core values.
- Student participation in reciting or creating affirmations may be encouraged.
- Schools are free to innovate the format in alignment with their existing assembly structure.
- Schools may display them on bulletin boards or classrooms as part of value education efforts.
- Language choice may be adopted to suit student profiles.
All Heads of Schools are requested to ensure the effective adoption of this initiative and encouraged to regularly analyse the activities and impact of these affirmations on students’ emotional well-being and share their observations, feedback, and best practices with Board for further enrichment of the programme.
Let’s work together to nurture our children not only academically but emotionally, empowering them to become confident individuals capable of shaping a better future.
