25 Easy Affirmations For Building Your Self-Confidence

Affirmations are a powerful, simple, and useful tool to keep in your back pocket. Or heck, don’t even put them in a pocket. Just keep that out and ready to use always.

Affirmations are just repeated thoughts, or words said out loud, that become ingrained as part of our identity. Abraham Hicks says, a belief is just a thought that you keep on thinking. So by that logic, if you keep thinking that you are abundant, eventually that will become a belief. Once that’s a belief, it becomes a lot easier to act and become abundant.

I’m simplifying the actual process but essentially thoughts become things. So by using affirmations to formulate our thoughts, we can create that reality.

Affirmations work best when said in a positive way and in present tense. When I create affirmations for myself, I generally start them with “I am…” because the thing I am affirming is usually something I want immediately, so why not tell myself that it is already true, right?

At a subconscious level your brain can’t tell the difference between past or future or even thoughts or reality. If you can believe that you are abundant, then your subconscious will find ways to make that true. 

There are studies on athletes that show this really well. Basically, when an athlete thinks through their performance - thinks through how they dribble the ball and take the shot, or how they dive in and glide through the water… their brain fires off the same exact way as if they were physically doing the action. Their brain believes they are doing it.

Even more remarkable, there are studies that show they actually can IMPROVE their performance without actually physically DOING the thing. It’s mind-blowing and honestly makes me feel like if I could just think hard enough and believe hard enough, I could be the next Megan Rapinoe. JK. But kinda not. 

So all of that to say... affirmations are really fantastic and effective. And fun! And simple to bring into your daily routine. 

I’ve compiled a list of 25 affirmations for you to incorporate into your daily practice to build your SELF CONFIDENCE. Because I’ve found that in business, the missing link for so many amazingly talented people is that they just don’t believe in themselves, their abilities, or their right to get paid.

Most of these will follow the “I am…” formula I mentioned above, but we’ll throw some different ones in there for good measure. A great idea for you would be to take a few of these and set reminders on your phone to go off throughout the day reminding you of them. When you get that reminder, pause your day and really feel into the affirmation. Say it out loud ten times and let yourself feel good, feel positive, and feel like this is your current reality and truth. Believe it. This is not an activity to be rushed through or checked off the to-do list, but one to savor and enjoy.

You could also put some post-its up with affirmations written on them. I have one on my bathroom mirror, one on my computer, one by the front door, and one on the fridge right now.

Oh, and just to note: it’s okay if you feel a little silly and maybe like it’s hard to really believe them the first few times. You’ll get used to it! And remember, a belief is a thought that you keep on thinking — so keep going! This isn’t an overnight thing, this is a new part of your daily life!
