Sometimes life can drag down even the most positive and energetic of us and a daily self-esteem and confidence boost empowers us to be our true selves. Don’t let external forces or inner doubt hold you back.
You do not need to use all 67 affirmations every day (that would take a while) but I always suggest picking and choosing the affirmations that suit you best at this moment. I would select no more than 10 and, if you need some guidance, you can download the affirmation workbook and follow the 7-day blueprint for making your affirmations even more potent.

Can Positive Affirmations Improve Self Esteem?
According to self-affirmation theory in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, positive affirmations can definitely improve self-esteem. Some people may be skeptical because it might seem lame or silly. But, this isn’t true; there’s a kind of magic in the power of affirmation.
Empirical studies show the beneficial effect positive affirmations have on the brain. They improve neural activity because they provide people with their own self-processing network. Successful self-affirmation practices, with time, can improve your overall demeanor and sense of self.
Only you can lift yourself up from the depths of despair, no one else. So, if saying positive affirmations work, then all that matters is you. Try them out for a period of time, if they don’t do the trick, that’s fine. But it can’t hurt to try positive affirmations.
If you find an affirmation that speaks to you, save the image and use it as a background or, better yet, print it out and use it as part of a manifestation practice. You might also wish to share the card with someone who might need to hear the message.
I’m a huge believer in the power of affirmations. Even taking a few minutes out of your day could empower you endlessly, however you wish to use them.
