Guided affirmations alongside meditation
Soma brings Sam's guided affirmation practice together with meditation, journaling and mood tracking. Start with the free affirmation course; the full library and further courses are part of paid plans.
Before you choose: Try the free course to see whether Sam's teaching style suits you before choosing a subscription.

I Become offers home-screen and lock-screen affirmation widgets on iPhone. It may suit you if a visible prompt is easier to remember than opening a separate session.
Before you choose: Check device support and try a widget where you will actually notice it.

You Are combines a curated affirmation library with a custom affirmation builder. It lets you write, save and revisit your own lines.

Aura lists affirmations alongside meditation, sleep stories, breathwork and other wellness content. It may suit you if you want to explore several types of practice in one place.
Before you choose: Find the affirmation content you would use and check what the selected plan includes.
Explore Aura's content typesFeature summaries checked against the linked providers on 16 October 2026. Availability, free limits and prices can change. Check the current listing before subscribing. The order above is not a score.
Would you rather listen, speak, write or see a short reminder? Choose the action that fits an ordinary day, rather than the one you imagine doing on a perfect morning.
Try a few lines before paying. You should be able to adapt the practice to your own words and circumstances without forcing yourself to believe a promise that feels out of reach.
Check what stays free, whether a trial renews, and the full subscription price. A free download does not necessarily mean the features you want are free.
Check your phone's store listing. If you record your voice or write personal reflections, review how the app stores that information and how you can delete it.
Choose a short set from our morning affirmations or sleep affirmations. Read the lines, watch Sam guide them, and notice which format feels easiest to return to. Both pages are free, with no account needed.
For a guided introduction inside Soma, start with the free affirmation course. You can use the app on iPhone, Android or in your browser. The full library is an optional paid upgrade.
The best fit depends on how you want to practise.
