Wish you were taller? As a tall person myself, I can honestly say that it’s nice to be tall – I can reach things on high shelves, see over the top of a crowd and be an unstoppable force on the basketball court!
Of course there are some drawbacks to taller than average height, like trying to get trousers long enough and trying to squeeze into an airplane seat! But, in my mind at least, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. And I think most people agree as ‘height affirmations’ is one of our most popular requests!
Can Affirmations Increase Your Height?
We all know by now that positive affirmations are very powerful and can help you to make big changes in your life, but can they actually physically change your body and make you taller? To be honest, I don’t have a definite answer. I’m not sure if any scientific studies have actually been done on this potential to change your body.
I do, however, have some anecdotal ‘evidence’ that suggests you can control your height, or at least, your thoughts can have an impact on your height. Let’s start with my wife.
She stands at just under 6 feet tall – pretty tall for a woman, right? You’re probably thinking that she comes from a tall family but no, she towers over her mother, is slightly taller than her father, and significantly taller than both her sisters.
So where did this great height come from? From a young age, she was always one of the tallest in her class and decided early in life that she’d like to be 6 feet tall. She didn’t quite make it, but almost!
She didn’t know about positive affirmations then, she just actively wanted to be taller right through her childhood and teenage years, especially once she took up basketball as a sport!
Many years later our daughter, who genetically was destined to be tall due to having two tall parents, decided she did not want to be as tall as her early measurements predicted. You know the trick where you double the child’s height when they are 2 years old?
According to that ‘test’ our daughter was destined to be about 6’1”. While she enjoyed playing basketball in her early teenage years, she really wanted to be a stage performer, more specifically to do character performances.
There are many height restrictions on the costumes required to play certain characters and our daughter quickly decided she did not want to be over 6 feet tall.
Again, she did not specifically ‘practice’ using affirmations to achieve this, but she clearly stated, many times, to all who would listen, that she did not want to grow any taller than she already was.
She is almost 19 now, so should have finished growing, and seems to be ‘stuck’ at the height she was at (around 5’8”) when she started clearly stating that she did not want to get any taller. So it seems as though she has successfully knocked off a few inches from her earlier predicted height!
How To Use Positive Affirmations To Increase Your Height
But you’re not here for my family stories! You want to know how to increase your height using positive affirmations, right?
Simply choose a few of the following height increasing affirmations – choose ones that resonate with you and how you are feeling, or how you would like to be feeling.
Use your chosen height affirmations at least twice a day by repeating each affirmation over and over again, like a mantra, 10-15 times (or more).
You can choose to:
- Say each affirmation out loud (standing in front of a mirror can be helpful to give you a visual impact on what you are saying as well),
- ‘Say’ them in your head,
- Write them out over and over (like writing ‘lines’ at school) or
- Make a recording of your voice saying each affirmation and listen to it over and over again.
Choose whichever method works best for you and fits into your lifestyle and schedule – personally I’m a fan of quietly ‘saying’ my affirmations in my head each night while lying in bed before I fall asleep.
Everyone learns differently though, so whichever technique works best for you is the one you should choose. You could even use a combination of the different techniques if you think that will work for you.
Remember, you’re trying to make changes in your neural pathways so repetition and consistency is the key to making a difference.
Given that, in this instance, you’re trying to make physical changes to your body, there are a couple of other things to consider.
Genetics is the biggest predictor of height – there may be a limit as to just how tall you are genetically able to grow. Using these height affirmations will at least ensure that you reach the highest height genetically available to you.
Also as humans, our physical growth happens in our childhood and teenage years. For these affirmations to have the most chance of success, it’s best if you’re still in a growth phase of your life.
While anyone can use these height affirmations, the best results will undoubtedly be seen by teenage users.

There are so many positive affirmations you can use to increase your height or become taller, the fun part, now, is for you to choose a few from the above list and start working with them.
Remember to choose affirmations that resonate with you and how you are feeling, or would like to be feeling. So, it’s OK to use the affirmation “I am tall” (even if you’re not as tall, yet, as you’re aiming to be), as long as it feels ‘right’ to you and you can really believe it.
If saying ‘I am tall’ and believing it enough to make your brain think it is true is too hard for you at this point in time, then you’d be better to start with affirmations such as “I am growing taller”, or “I am ready to grow taller”, as these are statements that your brain will have less trouble believing in.
You can always adapt and change your chosen affirmations as you achieve your goals, so don’t panic too much about choosing the perfect affirmations straight up – just choose a few that feel right for you now and get started – your new (tall) height awaits you!
Oh, and if you’re wanting to increase your height because you’re a basketball player, you might be interested in these positive affirmations for basketball players too!
