By definition, your affirmation will be personal to you, and specific to what you want to achieve or change.
The following examples may provide some inspiration:

My work will be recognized in a positive way by my boss and colleagues.

Tip:
The use of affirmations is just one way to make positive changes to your life. You can also use techniques such as Thought Awareness, Rational Thinking, and Positive Thinking , and Cognitive Restructuring . You may also want to take our quiz, Are You a Positive or Negative Thinker?
Warning:
Negative thinking can cause severe health problems and, in extreme cases, death. While these techniques have been shown to have a positive effect on reducing occasional negative thinking, they are for guidance only, and readers should take the advice of suitably qualified health professionals if they have any concerns over related illnesses or if negative thoughts are causing significant or persistent unhappiness. Health professionals should also be consulted before any major change in diet or levels of exercise.
Key Points
Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to overcome self-sabotaging, negative thoughts.
To use affirmations, first analyze the thoughts or behaviors that you’d like to change in your own life and career.
Next, come up with positive, credible, and achievable affirmation statements that are the opposite of these thoughts. Repeat your affirmations several times a day, especially when you find yourself slipping into negative self-talk or engaging in negative behavior.
Remember that affirmations are most effective when you use them alongside other strategies, such as visualization and goal setting.
