Being positive doesn’t take much time. The power of the tongue is real. How you speak over yourself really affects your life. If you start saying negative things about yourself, then you can start to crumble your self-esteem. People don’t understand when you speak badly over yourself then it can affect you in more ways than one such as: relationships, personal life, identity, behavior, and an increase of stress. Saying the simplest things matter, good or bad. How you speak, act, and think affects your life. It’s important to see the good in yourself because no one can love you like you love yourself. You must show others how to treat you, that’s why it’s important to speak positively over yourself. If you build up a strong sense of confidence, then nobody can bring you down.
Speaking life into yourself is motivation. When you start speaking negatively over yourself, you start to break the confidence that you built. The more you speak negatively over your life, the more you start to believe it and that’s not good, especially if you get into a relationship. For example, if your partner knows you bring yourself down, they can feed into it and use that to their advantage. That can cause you stress, and you’ll never think you’re good enough. That’s with your friends as well, everybody isn’t going to have your best interest, so you must be strong. The more you continue to break yourself down, the more you won’t feel confident to do anything. You tend to shelter yourself from everything and everybody. It’s really easy to believe in the lies you tell yourself. Yes, lies because all the negative things you tell yourself are not true.
Be the change that you want people to see. Be motivated. People are watching you whether you know it or not. If people can see you being positive, then it might motivate them to be positive as well. You want to turn doubt into faith, fear into courage, and weakness into power. You want to build your confidence and self-esteem as highly as possible. Loving yourself may come as a challenge to some. It doesn’t take much to be kind to yourself and it doesn’t take long. If you don’t believe anything good about yourself, how do you expect others too? Building up your self-esteem is bigger than any challenge you’ve faced, but it makes you stronger. Be people’s inspiration and encouragement. Show them what it looks like to be positive. Your mind and body are a temple that you want to cherish.
When you look in the mirror, really look into your eyes, like you want to get a good look at yourself. Think of anything positive and tell yourself that. Even if you could only think of one thing, keep on repeating that one thing to yourself. Do it for about 2-5 minutes every day. Do it until you believe it. It might seem weird at first if you’re not used to it, but over time it’s going to feel natural. Put it into your morning routine, don’t leave the house without speaking good over yourself. Get dolled up if you want to and make yourself feel pretty. Even on your worst days, choose to look your best, because when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, nothing can stop you. When you start speaking positively, you tend to become more positive over everything around you.
Here are some affirmations you can tell yourself:
- I’m worthy of love, peace, and success

Always know your worth, always stand up for yourself, and always keep your head held high. You’re beautiful, you’re strong, you’re smart, and nobody can take that from you unless you give it to them. If someone makes you feel less than what you are, then that’s not something you want to be around. Find happiness within yourself first and everything good will come to you.
