Only you can control the way you feel so take charge and transform your relationship with yourself. An easy method is to simply practice affirmations…change your mindset by going to the source and shifting the narrative in your head. In this post, discover the 25 most POWERFUL self-confidence affirmations to manifest fearlessness, happiness, and abundance!
What are Affirmations?
Simply, affirmations are phrases you say out loud or think to yourself. In detail, affirmation defined means the act of affirming. Hence, when you say or think a phrase repeatedly, you are affirming that it is true. These phrases can be positive or negative. Obviously, negative affirmations make you feel shitty whereas positive affirmations make you feel amazing. For example, repeating “I am dumb” will make you feel sad whereas repeating “I am smart” will make you feel happy. To make it more specific to this topic, repeating “I am not good at anything and I am a failure” makes you feel sad, stressed, and anxious; however, repeating “I am learning how to be better and because of that, success follows me” will make you feel happy, powerful, and inspired!
Why and How do Affirmations Work?
We are about to get real scientific in this explanation of why and how affirmations work so put your thinking cap on! First and foremost, you must understand the bundle of neurons in your brain that carries important subconscious thoughts to your conscious mind. These neurons are your Reticular Activating System (RAS). This system filters out unnecessary information so that only the essentials make it to your conscious mind. Basically, your RAS delivers subconscious thoughts to your conscious mind. Therefore, the repetition of positive affirmations will train your RAS to filter through positivity as essential information.
Not only does the Reticular Activating System (RAS) filter essential information, it also seeks proof to validate that information. In other words, when you repeat a phrase, your RAS seeks out supporting evidence to connect to the original thought. For example, if you’re repeating “There are no obstacles that I can not overcome.”, your RAS will recognize proof to validate that statement such as solving a problem rather than putting it off or letting the problem win. Your mind will begin to highlight positive situations while dimming negative ones and because your mind will be so focused on the positive, MORE positivity will come – LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE!
How to Use Affirmations to Manifest Self-Confidence
We all want to feel smart, successful, valuable, beautiful, fearless, and POWERFUL about ourselves…those feelings are self-confidence. Self-confidence is what drives us because when you’re genuinely confident in your being, you feel unstoppable and you know that everything will go your way! Self-confidence is key in The Law of Attraction as attraction can only happen if you truly believe without a shadow of a doubt that you are a POWERFUL being who is a force to be reckoned with. This is because the law can not work if you are constantly doubting yourself and questioning what you deserve as that only attracts more of the same. When you’re confident you glow with happiness, attract abundance, and radiate strength!
The key to using the Law of Attraction to manifest self-confidence is to get on the same energy frequency as self-confidence. Ask yourself this: How can you possibly attract and build confidence when you constantly doubt yourself?… That’s right, you can’t! Using affirmations to build confidence, self-esteem, and strength is an easy yet POWERFUL method. The most important thing to do when using affirmations is to embody the actual feeling behind the words you are repeating; FEELING IS THE POINT OF ATTRACTION! At first, those feelings are going to be hard to connect to and maintain the whole sentence through, but consistency will make all that easier…so easy that the phrases you repeat and the feelings you feel will eventually become your mindset.
The key to using affirmations is to repeat them as much as possible! Set a time every day to practice your chosen affirmations; set the alarm on your phone so you don’t forget and/or practice them first thing in the morning and last thing at night. In addition to incorporating them into your regular routine, use them to replace any negative thoughts you may have during the day; this isn’t easy at first so don’t beat yourself up or give up, just try to be mindful and aware of your thoughts so you can catch yourself and correct them. Repeat affirmations as much as you can to change your mindset, feeling, and relationship with YOURSELF!
