In my last post, I asked you to “dare” to live confidently, and now, I’m going to help you get started with five easy affirmations you can use to build your confidence.
Building confidence isn’t something that happens overnight – think of it instead as an exciting journey. Here are some simple, fully customizable affirmations you can start using today to replace some of your negative internal dialogue.
1. I AM [choose 1-3 of the terms below, or come up with one of your own].
Example: I AM empowered, strong, and courageous.
| empowered | capable | strong |
| independent | joy-filled | authentic |
| sassy | confident | esteemed |
| bright | courageous | bold |
| upbeat | fearless | appreciated |
| spunky | daring | magnetic |
| energetic | able | charming |
| secure | adventurous | brave |
| captivating | respected | engaging |
2. Every day, I AM growing in[name the areas you want to grow in] to be the woman I am destined to be.
Example: Every day, I AM growing in confidence, in wisdom, and in knowledge to be the woman I am destined to be.
3. I have already achieved [name your past accomplishments]. I CAN accomplish anything I set my mind to!
Example: Build on your past achievements with this one!
I have already received the certification I need to advance and I’ve connected with mentors who are helping me. I CAN accomplish anything I set my mind to!
4. I refuse to allow what others say affect me. What matters is what I believe about myself and how I react.
Example: Get specific here. If you allowed something someone said in the past to really affect you, now is your time to transcend above it.
I refuse to allow what my manager said about my personality to affect me. What matters is what I believe about myself and how I react.
5. I deserve [tell yourself what you know you deserve]. I deserve ALL that is good!
Example: I deserve to share my talents with the world and to be appreciated. I deserve ALL that is good!
