There are times where we all have moments when our confidence isn’t its best, but it’s important to know that it’s a natural habit that many of us develop from time to time. While some of the doubt can form from unconsciously comparing ourselves to others, most of the time it’s ourselves. In the words of David Cushieri, “The mind is a powerful force. It can enslave us or empower us. It can plunge us into the depths of misery or take us to the heights of ecstasy. Learn to use the power wisely.” Words are able to influence the mindset of us if we allow it. So it’s critical to speak positive statements about yourself and your life. This in turn will help you create a better sense of self and build your confidence as well. Below you can find 16 affirmations that can be said daily and repeated as much as it’s needed in relation to confidence that will make those tough moments a little easier:

 

1) I am beautiful, even on my worst day

2) I am worthy of everything I dream about and want

3) I will own whatever I wear or feel without regrets

4) My opinions are just as important as anyone else’s opinions

5) The opinions of others will never have an effect on me because it isn’t my business

6) My body is perfect

7) I deserve to be happy and I will continue to be

8) I feel good

9) I can conquer anything

10) I am strong

11) I cannot be easily broken

12) I am intelligent

13) I am confident and humble

14) I’m satisfied with everything I currently have

15) I believe in myself and trust myself completely

16) I am enough

 

 

Stating a few or all of these affirmations could have the potential to craft a more vibrant and confident you. The mind is the most powerful tool we possess. Do not let words from others shape you. Stop yourself when you have negative thoughts. Let your mind be a filter to words that are said, so you have only two options. You can either digest statements or let them escape out of the other ear. Remember that you are in control.
