20 Daily Affirmations to Boost Your Confidence

What if you could get back your confidence by spending five minutes each morning repeating a few key phrases to yourself?

Many people underestimate the power of affirmations. Simply put, affirmations are positive statements that can help you overcome negative self-talk and beliefs. When you repeat these statements to yourself on a daily basis, you can begin to believe them and see major changes in your life.

Affirmations work by influencing your subconscious thoughts. The human brain is most likely to believe the things it hears most often. Consequently, by repeating an encouraging phrase to yourself each morning, you can slowly make yourself believe it.

Think of your brain as just another muscle. When we want to make our arms or legs stronger, we work them out daily by doing the same reliable exercises. Affirmations work similarly. By repeating some key affirmations each day, you are working out your brain.

Choose affirmations that resonate with you, and repeat them to yourself each morning before you brush your teeth. You might also try setting some as phone notifications to remind yourself of them throughout the day, or write them on post-it notes to be stuck to your laptop, your mirror, or anywhere else where you frequently find yourself feeling negative about yourself.

Not sure where to start? Here are 20 daily affirmations that will help boost your confidence.
