Are you searching for a practical and effective strategy to develop self esteem? Have you learned about using self esteem affirmations? Self-esteem affirmations are a great strategy for improving self-esteem and for becoming a positive person. This is because positive affirmations empower you to change your old thinking patterns and your internal dialogues upon which your self-esteem is built. So why aren’t many people using this method? It’s because most people just haven’t realized the power of their own positive affirmations that can actually be used to accomplish desirable results.
The good thing is, there’s a simple method you can learn to build positive affirmations that give great results. Within this article you will find a simple strategy for making and practicing your own affirmations for self esteem.
1. Describe Your Standards
Before writing down your self esteem affirmations, you need to describe your standards first for improving self-esteem. For instance, what is your idea of an individual who has positive self esteem? Then begin to set your standards on which your positive affirmations are built by observing the behaviors of a person with high confidence. Remember that the importance of this step is to impress your brain with a picture, or directions, of what your idea of having self esteem looks like.
Then your subconscious (which is what you target to influence using your affirmations) responds to instructions. Be as specific as possible by, for instance, describing particular behaviors that represent healthy self esteem. For example, this can be something like speaking to strangers comfortably, negotiating with confidence. Be sure that you write down a list of behaviors or actions that you can identify with a self confident person.
2. Follow The Formula Of Positive Affirmations
There are four principles with which your self esteem affirmations need to comply. Firstly, they need to be in the present tense; secondly, they need to be affirmative in nature; thirdly, they must be in the first person; and lastly, they need to be action driven (based on the actions you described in step one). Here are some examples:
“I’m assertive in my business negotiations.”
“I approach strangers and engage them in conversations with ease.”
“I’m great at closing sales.”
Notice how the four principles are applied in the above self esteem affirmations:
They’re all in the present tense
They’re all affirmative
They’re all in the first person
They all involve a specific action
Once you write your affirmations following these guidelines, there’s only one thing left to do, and that is:
3. Say Your Affirmations
Applying self esteem affirmations is a gradual process that needs to be done on a regular and consistent basis. To get better results, practice your affirmations once in the mornig and once at night. This is an essential step as you are basically instructing your mind to attain goals based on the given directions. This is similar to how you train your body to keep it fit. Either way, regular practice is a must.
So practice your self esteem affirmations every day. You can write new ones to accomplish other goals. This is a life-long commitment, and you will develop a sense of great confidence which is a natural part of you.
