80 Self Love Affirmations for the happy new You

Being critical about yourself can have bad consequences. We tend to lower our self-esteem by saying things like “I can’t do that” or “I’m not worth it”. When things go wrong, we go out looking for excuses and blaming ourselves. Positive self-love affirmations can do wonders and it is worth remembering a few of those for the hard days.

Why do we need self-love affirmations?

Low self-esteem creates endless problems – from being unable to make wise choices to depression and feeling unworthy. Some people are afraid to be alone and feel lonely. Why do we keep falling into this rabbit hole? Having bad thoughts is a sign of low self-esteem and a lack of self-love. If you are truly happy with who you are, you will never feel lonely.

The good news is that our brain doesn’t make a difference whether things are actually happening, or we are imagining them. So, in order to make a difference in your life and love yourself, you don’t always need to act, but can start by saying out loud what you want your life to be. Repeating those mantras will help to overcome negative thoughts and emotions. Basically, you take control of your brain and thoughts. You are the boss and you show the direction.

Just like financial affirmations will help you sort out your finances and start saving, self-love affirmations are the best tools for improving your self-esteem and confidence.

How to practice positive affirmations?

You can try saying out self-love affirmations early in the morning or right before you go to bed. Once you start loving yourself, it will get easier to reach your goals in life. Remember – you are beautiful, powerful, and worthy! Affirmations for self love may not start working at once, but you will surely feel the effect once you start practicing them regularly.



Remember – only say those self-love affirmations, which you can truly relate to. If you don’t mean them, they will not work for you. You don’t need to use all of them listed here, pick the ones which are unique and work just for you. Feel free to come up with some of your own!

To track your progress, consider wring them down every day in a journal. This way you will be able to go back in time and see how your self love affirmations have worked wonders over time. Remember to always believe in it, as if it already happened. This way you will program your brain to think in the right direction. Once your conscience believes in it, the universe will make it all happen for you.

Final thoughts

I know how hard it can be to find the right positive affirmations to help you start loving yourself. Getting out of low self-esteem and depression is difficult, but not impossible. Too often people listen to other’s opinions and judgment and form a wrong impression of themselves. Too bad no one is teaching us that when others say negative things, they are actually talking about themselves, not about us.



The key to finding your inner peace is realizing you are the center of your own universe. You are important. Only your own wishes matter. Nobody is going to come and turn your world into a pure magic kingdom, you need to take responsibility for yourself and your own well-being.

When was the last time you took yourself out for dinner? To the beach? Took a nice holiday? Got a massage? Think about the ways you can take care of yourself today. Don’t live for other people – they need to take care of themselves (even children need to learn how to play on their own). As an adult (and individual), your happiness is your own priority. So practice the self-love affirmation and I promise, your life will change for the better!
