Introduction
Struggling with self-esteem can be a b!tch. Since you clicked on this post you probably know what I’m talking about. Low self-esteem can negatively affect every area of life. It is the root cause of self-criticism, feeling insecure, and doubting your worthiness. It affects your relationships with others and most importantly your relationship with yourself.
You are hanging out with yourself for the rest of your life. That’s why it is so important to build a good, healthy relationship with yourself.
Everyone has different insecurities and there’s a wide range of where to choose your opponents in this day and age. Especially with social media directly or indirectly telling us what we should do and look like.
The affirmations listed below target the core of low self-esteem, which is self-worth.
For the ones that don’t know much about affirmations or need a little explanation, let’s get to it.
Why affirmations?
Low self-esteem consists of deeply rooted negative beliefs about yourself. The brain is a machine that has learned these beliefs early in life. The good thing about the brain is that it can learn and it can change. The mind can be trained to think differently. That’s where affirmations come into the picture.
Affirmations can help you change negative thought patterns and outlooks of yourself and life in general. It’s kinda like brainwashing… but in a good way. Affirmations are there to replace the old stinking thoughts with better ones.
But the thing is, these negative beliefs are so deeply rooted in our minds, it’s going to take time to change them. Master manipulation does not happen overnight. This is not to discourage you but to do the opposite. Most people give up on affirmations after some time because they think they are not working. I’m here to tell you that you should absolutely believe they do work but just know they take some time. So there’s no point in losing hope. It will come in time.
When you google affirmations there’s usually a list of 20 to even 100 affirmations in one post. That can be seriously overwhelming. Those lists are so long it’s a wonder if someone can concentrate long enough to read them all. Let alone remember any of them later.
I have listed only ten. It’s a short list you can read frequently without using too much time on it. Having fewer affirmations on your list makes you really concentrate and take them in better. That’s what it’s all about.
I have collected some of the best affirmations for improving your self-esteem here. They focus on leveling up your self-worth and accepting yourself.
For who?
These affirmations fit every shape and size, and anyone that can read or understand them when read out loud. That FBI agent watching your every move through your little camera hole will level up too. Everyone who wants to improve their self-esteem can use these. They are most effective when read regularly, daily, or weekly.
