Positive Affirmations Are Self-Esteem Boosters
If you have ever struggled with low self esteem, then you understand how difficult it can be to overcome. No matter how hard you try or what you do to improve yourself, there is always that negative little voice saying nasty things to you in the back of your mind. Poor self esteem generally has roots from your childhood. However, negative life experiences, abuse, bad relationships…these are all things that can contribute to you having self esteem issues.
If you still have trouble trying to better your self esteem, using affirmations throughout every day is an effective method for boosting esteem. Positive affirmations are self-esteem boosters, but they are also a great way to give yourself a dose of positive energy.
Positive affirmations you can use
Maybe you like the idea of using positive affirmations to boost your self esteem, but you aren’t really sure how to create personal affirmations. This is very easy and anybody can do it. To help you get started, here is a list of affirmations you can use:
- I am powerful and can do anything I set my mind to.
- I am worth all things good.
- I am learning and growing each day, becoming empowered in my own life.

Creating your own positive affirmations
Now that you have a starting point, take some time to create your own positive affirmations. To do this, ask yourself some questions, like:
- When do you feel most vulnerable?
- What makes you feel nervous and anxious?
