Practice Self Love with These 30 Affirmations for Self Esteem

Building your self esteem is more important than ever, given how easy it is to get lost in today’s harsh world. Between social media and, well, the media in general, we’re all feeling less confident about the way we look and the things we’re capable of. Treating yourself with kindness and love is a great way to help you build your self worth, and positive affirmations work to put that into action. 

Affirmations are fantastic for helping you keep a positive mindset, and we could all use a little more positivity these days! So, for today’s post we’re sharing a round-up of affirmations that can help build self esteem.

What Are Affirmations For?

Affirmations are positive statements designed to replace negative thoughts, so that you more easily change your mindset and actions, and, ideally, your life as a whole.

Each positive thought can help you feel happier, more optimistic, and more confident in your daily life. They can also help you feel better equipped to face life’s challenges, which reduces stress caused by worry, uneasiness, and anxiety. Since affirmations can help improve your self esteem, they can also help you achieve your goals and even improve relationships.
