100 Empowering Affirmations To Build Unconditional Self-Love

PIN IT

Self-love is not about being egotistical, nor is it about selfishness or not loving others intensely. As a matter of fact, self-love actually expands our capacity to love, as it makes it easier for us to receive love. Personally, find self-love to be the most essential form of love of them all, for that very reason. Along with the fact that self-love actually builds up our confidence, helps us manifest our dream lives, and helps us thrive as our authentic selves. Self-love also helps us set and enforce stronger boundaries in all areas of our lives. Undeniably, we should all be loving ourselves more and ditching negative self-talk for a plethora of reasons.

Remember, my lovely, the words that you speak to yourself hold a lot of power. Your subconscious hears what you say to yourself and internalizes it as if it were true. Which is why we shouldn’t even be making self-deprecating jokes, as our subconscious doesn’t understand that we’re joking. And at some level, we truly do start to believe them. But on the flip side, our subconscious also doesn’t realize that we may not believe the positive things we tell ourselves either. Which is why affirmations are so effective, even if at first we’re trying not to roll our eyes as we say them in the morning. That is, until they just become part of our reality.

Genuinely, I believe that confidence and self-love are the easiest things to manifest. As they rely on no external energies or circumstances, they’re entirely internal manifestations. All you really need to do is say some affirmations to affirm your self-love, and live like you already love yourself. It’s that easy, my lovely. And honestly, I recommend manifesting some confidence and self-love before going for any other manifestation.

How Affirmations Can Help You Cultivate Self-Love

Knowing how powerful our words are, especially when it comes to how we speak to ourselves, we want those words to be kind and empowering. After all, those words will be reflected in how we perceive ourselves and how our lives shape up. And when it comes to our perception of ourselves and the relationship we have with ourselves, we directly hold the pen to our story. We genuinely get to decide how we feel about ourselves and the relationship we have with ourselves. It’s actually quite amazing, as we’re fully in control over the manifestation of self-love, as we’re controlling our own energy.

Certainly, our subconscious may be a little spooked when we go from negative self-talk to self-love overnight, and it’ll want to rebut immediately. I’m not saying that building confidence and cultivating self-love isn’t a process. But it’s more than worth the effort. Especially as, eventually, those affirmations that you say in the mirror to cultivate self-love will just become your default beliefs about yourself. To the point that your subconscious will start immediately rebutting the negative thoughts when they do come up. It’s actually amazing just how much affirmations that reinforce self-love can shift your entire mindset. Or even change your entire life.

And essentially, when you say these affirmations, you’re just speaking to yourself as though you’re someone you love. Because you should be someone you love, my lovely. But really, it’s just like giving a pep talk to your best friend, your sister, or your daughter if you have children. You’re rebutting against the lies you’ve been led to believe about yourself because of someone else’s nonsensical opinion. Or the conclusions you’ve come to about yourself, in a world that wants you to constantly humble yourself and pick out your flaws.

What Empowering Self-Love Affirmations Can Look Like

• “I am worthy” statements that affirm positive beliefs about what we deserve, and remind us of our value.
• “I am capable” statements that remind us just how intelligent, talented, and intuitive we are.
• “I embrace” statements that encourage us to accept all parts of ourselves and our own unique journeys.
• “I honor” statements that enforce our boundaries and remind us to listen to our intuition. As well as to our bodies.
• “I forgive” statements that allow us to release past mistakes and give ourselves some grace.
• “I love myself” statements that pick out amazing aspects of ourselves to shed extra light on to love. Even if we’re not quite in love with them yet.

Really, your affirmations can look and sound however you want. As a matter of fact, you want to choose affirmations that truly resonate with you and that you’ll feel good saying. If an affirmation lifts you up, builds up your confidence, and fills you with self-love, use it. You can’t go wrong with affirmations that lift you up and fill you with positivity. Because honestly, we all need to be saying kinder things to ourselves.

A Few Things To Be Mindful Of

In reality, there are no rules when it comes to curating and saying your affirmations. The only rule that I’d be completely rigid about is the fact that affirmations need to be positive and empowering. Negative self-talk and doubts are not welcome in affirmations. Especially in affirmations aimed at cultivating self-love. That said, we do want our affirmations to also feel relatable. We also want them to be easy to remember and say, and feel like they’re intended for our journey. Or for the person we’re becoming. After all, we don’t want saying our affirmations to feel like a chore, or to feel like we’re trying to become someone we don’t truly resonate with.

• Let them be short and sweet, so they’re memorable and repeatable.
• Make them easy to resonate with and believe. Meet yourself where you are in your self-love journey, and start with gentle affirmations. You can upgrade them later, my lovely.
• Keep your affirmations aligned with who you want to be. Self-love is actually about embracing your own unique journey and path.
• Make your affirmations highly personal. Use your preferred name in them, use your own words, and let your voice shine through.
• Keep your affirmations 100% positive! Negative self-talk, criticism, and doubts do not have a place in your affirmations.

And you know what? If you want to bend some of these rules, that’s fine too. These aren’t rules so much as they are gentle considerations. Aside from keeping the limiting beliefs the heck out of it.

That said, many of us also want to build confidence in the incredible talents that we have, without constantly humbling ourselves.
