People have a way of repeating and assuring negative thoughts about themselves routinely. If someone doesn’t like us, we tell ourselves there is something wrong with our personality or our looks. If we get bad grades, we think we must not be smart or talented enough. This bad habit destroys one’s self-confidence little by little. In order to recover from low self-esteem, practicing positive affirmations is a must.
Here is a list of 101 powerful affirmations for self-esteem you can practice daily:
1. I have a positive and healing effect on others.
2. I am doing a great job.
3. I deserve the compliments I receive.
4. I am worthy of kind words and thoughts.
