You can use self affirmation sentences to build confidence or create a positive attitude.
As your day-to-day life experience shows you that you may want to feel more optimistic, or to worry less, or to feel overall more peaceful, you can experiment with tools like the affirmations below to create a different mental picture of yourself and your life.
The first time that you use self affirmation sentences you may find it odd to be affirming something that is not the case yet. Indeed you may feel resistance to whatever you're affirming - in which case it's best that you fine-tune your affirmations (a bit more about this down below).
Self affirmation sentences can also be a fun way to explore what you think is possible in regards to your own life, and to imagine further.
I love and accept myself exactly as I am
I am a valuable person with many good qualities
I am strong and face difficulties with courage
I am capable of achieving anything I want
I am loved and loving. I deserve to receive love.
I am a positive person and I attract positive events to my life
I am responsible for myself and my own future
I look at everyone and everything with kind and generous eyes
I am perfect exactly as I am. I accept myself fully.
I am healthy and allow life to flow through me
I respect all creatures I come in contact with
I am an intelligent person and I learn from everybody
I am thankful for every day of my life
I strive to maintain good relationships with others
I listen to my intuition
I am grateful for all my blessings
I live my life fully with strength and joy
You can modify these affirmation sentences to suit your situation and needs.
The best way to use affirmations that work for you is to tailor-make them, so that you feel good when you say them or when you read them.
Choose words that make your affirmation feel 'safe' to you - for example, if saying 'I am wealthy' makes you feel uncomfortable, refining it to 'I have all the money I need when I need it' may make you feel more at ease.
Follow your intuition - the power is always in your hands ;)
