31 Affirmations to Improve Your Self-Image
I’m truly touched by all of the positive feedback I got on my last post. I’m glad it resonated with so many of you. It’s something I’ve wanted to write about for the longest while but felt maybe it was sharing too much information. And that tinge of doubt stayed right up until I hit publish. But there’s a saying I repeat to myself often to move past the fear of being vulnerable:
Your honesty may not be for everyone but there’s someone whose life depends on it!
Today, I wanted to share some of the affirmations I started saying on a regular basis which have helped to curb the negative thoughts I used to let run around in my mind. Especially when I felt stuck.
If you’ve seen my post on overcoming negative thinking, you know I’m a firm believer in the transformative power of affirmations. Speaking into my life was hands down one of the key things that triggered my mindset shift and the reframing of my thinking.
I developed the following list from Bible verses, images and lists I saw on Pinterest, as well as an app I used for a period of time called My Affirmations: Live Positive.

Affirmations are meant to be sayings that you can connect with personally. If you’re looking for additional ones, here are 2 great bloggers I follow who have also listed affirmations you may be able to connect with as well:
Paula from Thirteen Thoughts has a great list of affirmations for different areas of your life. I also find her blog inspiring as she covers topics ranging from self-care, intentional living and lifestyle basics.
Catherine from The Blissful Mind is a mindset coach who also runs a very inspiring blog about finding calm in your everyday life. She recently posted a list of affirmations to improve your mindset.
I hope this inspires you to start using/saying affirmations on a regular basis. If you haven’t before, I encourage you to take some time and assess what some of the recurring negative thoughts have been in your life. Then, develop a list of affirmations to counter and challenge each of those thoughts. Let me know how it goes!

Thank you! For inspiring and encouraging me on my journey and am thankful for this article. Keep up the good work.
awesome article… thanks for sharing..????
This is beautiful ! The way we see ourselves impacts our performance as well as how we treat ourselves which in turn determines how other treat us. The Alter ego effect also helps a lot with improving our self-image.
Keep up the good work 🙂
