47 Highly Effective Affirmations for Confidence and Self-Esteem

Feeling confident in ourselves should be easy, because each of us is worthy of happiness and success simply because we exist. We’re all made of the same thing and the universe really doesn’t care how you look or what you’ve accomplished. Yet most of us feel lacking in some way. To help correct that, I’m sharing these affirmations for confidence.

The Ultimate Key for Confidence is Self-Worth

Confidence really comes from believing in yourself. Believing that your worth is not tied to any accomplishments or outside opinions, but that it is built in to your very DNA.

It’s knowing that no matter what’s happened in the past you are always good enough and deserving of the very best life can offer you. It’s knowing that you don’t have to be perfect, but you’re still going to show up and do your best.

The tragic thing is that our confidence can be shattered so easily. One failed test, one critical word from a parent or teacher, one kid at school telling you you’re ugly or stupid, one crappy ex telling you no one else will love you, one experience with failure, that’s all it takes to start you down the path to not feeling worthy.

And once the idea starts to take hold you find all these other reasons why you’re not good enough, and the evidence seems to stack up against you.

Affirmations are a powerful tool you can use to start dismantling all of that false evidence.

Confidence Changes How You Interact with the World

Society teaches us that we have to check all these boxes to earn the right to feel confident.

We have to do good in school or be a good athlete. We have to look a certain way. We have to have a career by a certain timeline and buy our first home by this age. We must have the perfect marriage and be the perfect parent.

This need to meet all these expectations effects how we see ourselves. If you don’t check the boxes then something is wrong with you. If you do check them, you’re still going to have impostors syndrome because someone else is probably doing it better than you according to what people post on social media.

It’s a lot of pressure, but we can choose to throw those expectations out the window and decide that we’re good enough no matter what we have or haven’t accomplished.

When you make that decision and start to own your unconditional worth, then you find the happiness that we all want. Then you aren’t crushed by the world’s expectations and you can just do what brings you joy. It takes a little time and practice, but it is possible for you!

Because the truth is, you are enough just as you are right now, the only thing you need to feel confident is to change your mindset, which these affirmations will help you do.

How to Use these Affirmations for Self-Esteem and Confidence

To use these affirmations for success and confidence, try integrating them into your morning routine.

Choose 5-10 affirmations that resonate with you and feel good, then stand in front of the mirror and say them every morning to your reflection for a boost of confidence. You might cringe and have a hard time looking yourself in the eye at first, but keep doing it every day for at least a month.

You can even say them as you drive to work, in the shower, or while you’re falling asleep at night.

I say affirmations to myself anytime I feel doubtful about if I can deal with a challenging situation. They’re little confidence boosters you can keep in your life tool-box when you’re not feeling so great about yourself.
