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.
