Self esteem is an interpretation of one’s self worth. Feeling good about yourself, who you are and what you do, is important to your overall well-being.
It’s easy for us to get down on ourselves.
* “Gosh that was so stuipid of me!”
* “I feel like such a bad parent”
* “I’ll never amount to anything so I might as well not even try to better myself”
I believe these are self-fulfilling prophecies. One of my favorite quotes is from Henry Ford:
“Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right”
So…do you want to go around putting yourself down, or do you want to say…”Hey…I’m human. I might make mistakes every now and then, but overall I’m a good person”. If you want more happiness and less stress in your life, I suggest you become more positive and self appreciating.
Below are some positive affirmations that you can use as a guide for writing your own. I recommend you write some of your own that apply to your life & situation.
* I feel great about the person that I am
* I am loved and respected by others
* Today is the best day there has ever been
* I deserve to be happy
* I have choices and I choose to have a positive attitude about myself and others
More to come…
