How To Boost Self Esteem

What causes low self esteem? Low self esteem is usually the result of negative

messages being absorbed by the subconscious. Begin to feed your mind with positive

messages and it can become a huge and powerful difference in your life!

What stops most people is uncertainty of what to say and how to word the affirmations

for optimal effectiveness.

Here are some helpful tips for overcoming and improving

your self esteem with positive affirmations!

1)Always use the present tense, never say that one day, you will learn

to love yourself, because it sounds like a second priority or that it is

not that important to you. Instead, say "I chose to love myself".

This empowers you by giving you the choice to love yourself,

even at the present moment.

2)Let your affirmations be believable to you.

If you try to set higher expectations of yourself than you can actually

believe, such as, I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer the world,

and that is not the case, then, you are not going to believe it and so your

subconscious mind might reject it.

Try focusing on a process, rather than the end result in your positive affirmations.

Say, I am learning how to embrace, accept and share my

uniqueness with others.

3)Chose the right tone. Look at yourself in the mirror,

as this helps tremendously,

and recite your affirmations aloud or quietly to yourself but focus on the

tone you use.

Say the words with emotion and love, unlike reading aloud

from a newspaper, or a magazine.

Your subconscious will pick up the emotional aspect of

what you are saying.

When you repeat or recite the words, I really love myself with love

and compassion, as opposed to sarcasm, the positive affirmation

has more impact on your subconscious mind.

4)Repeat positive affirmations on a regular basis, several times a day.

Your subconscious mind may play with you and play back old,

negative messages, so you want to counteract those negatives as much as possible.

When you become aware of the fact that those old negative

thoughts are coming back to haunt you, out with them, and

recite your positive affirmations.

5)Give it time!

It takes time to change old habits into new habits and the same

applies to changing old, negative messages to positive ones.

It could take a few weeks or even a few months before you feel or

notice a significant difference in how you feel.

Do not be discouraged, stay with it and eventually you will

see a difference!

The change should be gradual, and bit by bit, you will

start feeling better and much happier, that is when

you will know it is working.
