Did you know that some consider low self-esteem to be the result of negative
messages being absorbed by the subconscious?
And if this is the case... it makes sense that feeding your mind more positive
messages can make a powerful difference!
What stops most of us is not knowing what to say or how to word our affirmations for
the best results. Below you'll find some simple tips to help you write effective
affirmations for improving your low self-esteem.
Present Tense
First, it's helpful to word affirmations in present tense, not future.
You wouldn't want to say, "I will learn to love myself" because that makes it sound like
you'll get around to it "someday." Instead you could say, "I choose to love myself."
The wording of that affirmation does two things: it empowers you with the addition
of the words "choose to," and it puts the time-frame in the present moment.
Believable
At the same time, your affirmations should be believable to you. If you tried to say,
"I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer the world," you may not really believe
that, so your subconscious mind might reject it.
Instead, try to focus on a process rather than an end result in your affirmations.
Say something like, "I am learning to embrace my uniqueness and share it confidently with others."
Use The Right Tone
When you say your affirmations, you can do them either aloud or mentally, but you
should focus heavily on the TONE you use.
Rather than saying the words without emotion, like you were reading a newspaper - you
have to inject an element of love and tenderness into them. Your subconscious mind picks
up on the emotional aspect of what you're saying more than the actual words.
Imagine the difference between saying the words, "I really love myself" with a
tone of love and compassion, or sarcasm. Which do you think would have a greater
impact on your subconscious mind?
Repetition
Once you have some affirmations to work on your low self-esteem, try saying
them several times a day.
Your subconscious mind is constantly playing back old, negative messages - so
you want to counteract those as much as possible. Keep saying your positive
thoughts on a regular basis - especially when you become aware that you're
thinking negatively about yourself.
Give It Time
Finally, remember that it will take time to change those old, negative messages
in your mind to something more positive.
It may take a few weeks or even a few months before you'll notice any difference
in how you feel, and you may even think it isn't working. But stay with it, and
you will begin to see a difference eventually!
Changing your low self-esteem will be a gradual change. But little by little you'll
begin feeling more positive, and notice that you're feeling just a bit happier and
lighter. That's your signal that it's working!
