Self-confidence is something that many people struggle with. It can be very easy to compare yourself to others or doubt yourself and your abilities. Sometimes this lack of confidence may lead you to avoid speaking up for yourself or doing something that you might really want to, due to fear of others’ reactions or fear of failure. Even if it doesn’t keep you from doing things, you might still experience negative self-talk like “I’m not good enough”, which can be discouraging. Since thoughts and feelings are connected, what we say to ourselves is very important. If you’d like to increase your confidence, consider using some of the affirmations below:
