Are you suffering from a low self esteem and seeking a simple way to improve it? If so, have you thought about improving your life using self esteem affirmations? If you are interested, please read on. I hope that the following system can help empower you and transform your old thoughts and beliefs upon which your self esteem is built. The following system is simple to use. You can follow it and develop your own affirmations to improve your self esteem. 1. Clarify What Your Standards Are In order to write your self esteem affirmations that match your situations, you need to first know what your standards are. For example, what are the qualities required to become a person with high self esteem? You can start by observing the behaviors of a person who you think has positive self esteem. Describe the qualities or standards. The importance of describing the standards is to give your mind some specific details or an image of what having good self esteem looks like. Then you want to influence your subconscious mind with these self esteem affirmations. Your unconscious mind automatically responds to directions given by you. So you need to be as specific as possible by describing accurate actions of good self esteem. For instance, talking to strangers with ease; communicating effectively, etc. It is best to have a good list of actions that you think match a confident person. 2. Follow The Formula: There are four principles with which your self esteem affirmations need to comply. Firstly, they need to be in the present tense; secondly, they need to be affirmative in nature; thirdly, they must be in the first person; and lastly, they need to be action driven (based on the actions you described in step one). Here are some examples: "I'm assertive in my business negotiations." "I approach strangers and engage them in conversations with ease." "I do a great job at closing sales." If you make sure that your affirmations comply with these principles, there is only one last thing you need to do: 3. Say Your Affirmations Applying self esteem affirmations is a gradual process that needs to be done on a regular and consistent basis. For best results, say your affirmations out loud in the morning and in the evening. This step is important because you are actually training your mind to accomplish things according to the directions previously given. This is no different from how you train your body to make it fit. In both cases, regular practice is required. If you progress well and find your goals achieved, you can create new affirmations to attain further goals in your life. This is a commitment you make to yourself. In time you will have a great self confidence that is a part of you.
