40 Affirmations for Confidence

Confidence is something we all wish we had more of. To have high levels of confidence means we move through our days with that added glow. Our relationships seem better, work seems smoother, and overall, our life can seem that little bit easier. Confidence, like many other attributes, is something that can be cultivated and increased over time. 

We all know people who seem naturally confident. Although some people do possess naturally high levels of confidence, there is nothing to stop us from increasing our own confidence, enabling us to achieve our goals and interact with others more productively. 

Speaking positively to yourself and being mindful of your thoughts is a great way to increase confidence. When we replace negative thoughts with more positive and encouraging ones, we are able to manifest big changes in our lives. Never underestimate the power of changing your mindset. 

How can I use positive affirmations?

1. Write out the statements in your journal, daily if possible.
2. Read them aloud and feel the energy behind the words. 
3. Say them to yourself in front of a mirror. This is really powerful! 
4. Change your phone background or computer desktop to include affirmations.
5. Place post-it notes in places you will regularly see them.
