Affirmations for Building Confidence

For confidence affirmations, I recommend building them up gradually rather than starting with direct statements such as ‘I am confident’.

This can be too much of a stretch for some people and can lead to the belief that the affirmation is not working.

The idea is to feel good about the affirmation – so concentrate on the feeling rather than the words.

1) To start, use affirmations such as:

• Wouldn’t it be nice if I felt more confident?
• I am really looking forward to feeling more confident

Say the above affirmations until you start to feel comfortable.

2) Then move onto:

• I am beginning to feel more confident
• I like the fact that my confidence is growing every day

3) When these affirmations start to feel more comfortable, then move onto these suggestions:

• I now feel more confidence in my life
• I am confident
• My self-esteem is growing every day
