How many negative thoughts have been repeating in your mind? Your brain notices more than you think, so put positive affirmations where you'll see them. Daily affirmations help rewire your thoughts, build self-esteem, and change negative thought patterns. Empower yourself by verbally affirming your dreams and ambitions. Choose from many daily intentions and set reminders to be delivered throughout the day. Positive affirmations help make major shifts in your mindset, and they also serve as prompts and daily reminders about what you’re truly capable of, ensuring every day is an amazing day An affirmation is a simple but powerful statement that helps to strengthen the connection between your conscious and unconscious mind. The more you strengthen this connection, the more resilient you’ll be when you experience difficult or challenging circumstances. As Buddha wisely said: you become what you believe. And the best way to strengthen your resilience is to practice affirmations every single day. There are many benefits to using affirmations as part of your daily morning routine: - They help increase your awareness of your thoughts and words, making it easier to recognize the negative and self-doubting thought patterns holding you back. - Affirmations define your focus. When you focus your energy on the things you want, like achieving your goals, the positive, uplifting, and good, you’re creating an abundance mindset and strengthening your resolve to make it happen. - They open you up to possibility. Too often we get stuck in the ‘impossible’ mindset, but affirmations flip this on its head. When you begin to positively affirm what is actually possible, a whole world of opportunity opens up to you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Affirmation Widget at none against I am's 11. Affirmation Widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). I am's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (733K vs 47). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
