Why are self love affirmations so powerful?
Affirmations are meant to rewire your subconscious mind.
Your thoughts control your actions.
If you’re constantly beating yourself up, it’ll show in the way how you carry yourself and how you interact with people.
But, if you constantly encourage and speak kindly to yourself, it’ll show on the outside. Your friends, family, and coworkers will notice the “glow” surrounding you.
The confidence will emit from your body to the point other people around you will notice.
That’s something I’ve dreamed of having, and my dreams started coming true once I made repeating affirmations to myself a priority.
How self love affirmations helped my self-esteem
As a teen, I struggled to accept myself for who I was. I was constantly belittling myself and uncomfortable in my own skin. You could say that I was my own worst enemy at that point.
In my freshman year of college, I discovered The Self-Love Experiment: Fifteen Principles for Becoming More Kind, Compassionate, and Accepting of Yourself.
The first step to improving your self-esteem is to believe that you are worthy of feeling good about yourself.
How you look on the outside will not change how you feel on the inside. This book taught me how to believe in myself first.
Once you start to believe, you can start to learn how to accept the parts of yourself that you have struggled to love. Repeating self-love affirmations throughout your entire journey will train your brain to defeat negative thoughts.
You will fall into the habit of thinking highly of yourself until it becomes natural.

How I include self love affirmations into my daily life
Every morning, I thank God for opening my eyes and blessing me with another day. Then, I repeat 2 to 3 positive affirmations that I’ve memorized out loud.
I speak my affirmations aloud so I can hear them and allow the words to permeate my subconscious mind. This helps me get out of bed and get my day started.
All day long, I silently repeat the positive affirmations in my head whenever I need a reminder to keep my head up.
I also keep an affirmation journal. It’s a regular journal where I write positive statements to myself and express my gratitude.
Seeing is believing. Keeping an affirmation journal is just another way to let the positive words saturate my subconscious mind and improve the quality of my thoughts.
Listed below are 60+ self-love affirmations you can jot down in your affirmation journal or say to yourself every day.
