Confidence Boosting Affirmations To Change Your Life

Jan 30

There is power in words, especially in the words we repeat to ourselves. We can be our own best friend or worst enemy depending on the messages we tell ourselves. Henry Ford was once famously quoted as saying, “Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” What he meant was that our attitude and beliefs about ourselves determines the outcome of our lives. Our attitudes and beliefs are shaped by our thoughts and our inner dialogue.

What You Believe, You Will Attract

If you consistently talk down to yourself, you are going to have a poor self-image. A poor self-image will lead you to make bad choices that are in line with how you feel about yourself. For example, if you feel that you are not worthy of finding love, you will likely choose partners that mistreat you. This is because you don’t believe that you are worthy of finding a loving partner, therefore you go for someone who is not capable of loving you. Whereas if you believe that you are a great catch, you’re only going to choose partners who reinforce your beliefs, meaning partners who treat you like a great catch.

Positive Affirmations Change Your Mind

When you change your inner dialogue, you will change your life. Rewiring your inner self-talk to be more positive will eventually rewire your brain into creating new beliefs. These new beliefs about yourself will allow you to start acting in a way that is more in line with who you want to be. Affirmations are positive phrases that you repeat to yourself with your desired outcome in mind. For example, if you want to be wealthy, instead of saying “I’m so poor, I could never afford that”, you should instead say “I have all the money I need to afford whatever I want.” Sure, this may sound silly when you have $25 in your checking account. But repeating this affirmation to yourself over time will soon sink into your psyche. Once you start to believe that you are rich, you will start acting like it. You will make better financial choices, strive for a better paying job, or maybe stumble upon a high paying opportunity.
