The topics of self-confidence and self-worth have grown increasingly common as of late. Whether you have seen your favorite celebrity discuss confidence, watched a profound Ted talk on its importance, or read the latest pop psychology book on how to achieve it, you are undoubtedly aware of how fundamental self-confidence is.
Believing in oneself holds unrivaled power. True confidence and self-worth build a foundation in one’s life that simply cannot be broken. This is because self-worth is not founded on certain characteristics or successes, it is found in simply existing as the incredible individual you are. The power in that is truly unparalleled.
It is no secret that the first step in any endeavor is believing in yourself. Now, sometimes self-confidence is easier than others. If you’ve gone through a tough moment or are trying something new, for instance, having that belief in yourself can be tricky. In these moments, confidence affirmations can be exceptionally effective.
The adage, “fake it until you make it” rings true with self-worth affirmations. Speak these into existence; speak this self-worth mentality into your life even if you don’t believe in it at first.
If you are new to affirmations, you can start from the top and work your way down. You may feel they are most effective if you say them while looking at yourself in a mirror or maybe with your eyes closed however, there is no exact recipe. If you can resonate with what you are saying while you make your morning coffee then, by all means, that is your power!
Speak these affirmations once, twice, or as many times as feels right for you and build the strong foundation that will carry you anywhere you wish to go in life.

Final Thoughts
This list will get you started on your life-long self-love journey. Remember that affirmations harness the power of attraction and the more you resonate with what you’re saying and truly let it manifest within you while you speak it, the better it will work.
We recommend bolstering these affirmations with some other activities such as writing down three things you are grateful for in your life at the end of the day. We urge you to include one item in this gratitude list that has to do with you. What are you grateful for within yourself? Maybe it’s your keen work ethic, your ability to show up for your friend or for simply existing as your unique self, whichever reason, write it down or speak it into the universe and remember that any type of love is strengthened by self-love.
