Self-esteem Affirmations

To put it simply, self-esteem is to feel good about yourself. How difficult is that? Hardly any! Then why do some people suffer from a low self-esteem? We shall reach to that answer in a while. Many confuse self-esteem with confidence.

Brilliant people have terrific confidence, which helps them to achieve marvelous results, and yet they have poor self-esteem. Let's first understand, what self-esteem means before we delve into the significance of positive affirmations on our psyche.

Literally and once again, self-esteem is feeling good about oneself. It means, to have a high worth of self. The perfect example of perfect self-esteem, is a child. As children we are naive and don't have any judgments about ourselves. As a result of which, we hardly suffer from low or poor self-esteem.

As we grow older we are bombarded with negativeness about ourselves, like 'you are not good enough', 'you are not worthy of it' and so on and so forth. This is what makes the value of 'self', less.

The other person's opinion about us becomes so strongly rooted within us, that it leaves no scope for believing in oneself or having any positive opinion. And this becomes the root cause of living life with a low self-esteem.

According to psychologists, it takes 7 positive instructions to negate 1 damaging thought. So imagine the number of positive affirmations that's required to build a powerful self-esteem! But the fact that you have reached this place, shows that you realize the importance of positive thinking.
