31 POWERFUL AFFIRMATIONS FOR CONFIDENCE AND SELF ESTEEM

 

It took me a long time to understand how powerful affirmations can be.

I always felt like a bit of an idiot repeating ‘I am confident’ out loud to myself but as time went on, I began to see the impact those 3 words were having on my confidence.

Now, as part of my daily routine, I repeat affirmations to myself or listen to them on a loop with the app ThinkUp.

Not only does this motivate me to take action towards my goals, but it also fills me with positive energy, helping me feel more confident in what I’m doing every day.

It never used to be like this.

Between 18-20 years old, I was too afraid to leave the house. My phobia of people being sick caused crippling fear and anxiety that I couldn’t get on public transport, go to Tesco without my mum or socialise with my friends without having a panic attack.

After nearly being fired from my job, I realised I wasn’t living my life and made a drastic change.

I changed the way I spoke to myself and instead of telling myself I couldn't do something, I began using affirmations every day, telling myself I was capable, I could do things and that I had confidence.

Within the space of a year, I’d quit my 9 to 5, fallen in love and started a backpacking trip around the world. SOLO.

Since then, I’ve started two online businesses, first as a social media manager, then as a coach for social media managers and lived in Thailand, Australia and Honduras.

I know first hand how powerful affirmations can be so now, I want to help you do the same.

Whether you’re an online business owner, you suffer with anxiety or you just want to increase your confidence, these affirmations are my favourite confidence boosting ones.

Practicing mindset work such as repeating affirmations is the first step to developing a success mindset. A Success Mindset looks a little bit like this:

  • Unbreakable self confidence ESPECIALLY when things don’t go to plan

  • 100% FAITH in yourself and your abilities, no matter what obstacles you’re faced with

  • The power to SHOW UP as you, your authentic self, knowing full well you’re making a difference

  • Loving yourself and TRUSTING yourself unconditionally

  • Believing wholeheartedly that you’re CAPABLE of anything, that people need you and what you offer and that you really can create the life of your dreams

I’m not talking high energy, high vibe, feeling good all day every day.

A Success Mindset is more than that.

It’s talking to yourself kindly on the days you feel like shit.

It’s putting your needs above anyone else’s and your business.

It’s letting yourself cry when you feel like crying without wondering if it’s a sign you should give up.

It’s not feeling guilty for the days you just can’t do the things and resort to a Netflix and nap day.

It’s celebrating every time someone unsubscribes or unfollows you because you know they’re not the client for you.

It’s embracing rejection and seeing it as one step closer to the YES.

It’s going live or sharing videos of yourself on the spur of the moment - no makeup, hair, script necessary.

A Success Mindset is what gets you the long lasting, steady success.
