Confidence describes a person’s overall sense of self-worth or personal value. In simple terms, it is how much you appreciate yourself.
Having low self-confidence can cause you to feel depressed, lose the will to do anything, cause you to make bad decisions, decrease your self-confidence and let you slip into toxic relationships.
Self-esteem is how much you feel you are worthy of things in life, whether it’s due to your weight, your skin or any other insecurities you may have.
Self-confidence is believing in yourself, believing that despite everything, you are capable of doing what you want.

The best way to appreciate yourself is to remind yourself of who you are and thank yourself for it. Which is where affirmations come in to play.
Why you have low Confidence
Have you ever wanted to do something and a little voice in your head said you couldn’t do it? And you believed it.
There’s that negative part of your brain that you’ve always known existed and it’s a part of you, so what it is telling you is true right?
Wrong.
It’s not.
The little voice is your subconscious and those words it speaks are a repetition of what it has heard over the years.
Imagine you had a parrot, a talking parrot. You greet it every day and over the years, with ‘hello’ and it starts repeating them to you.
But then one day you decide to start singing to it every day instead of for a few months or years, it will eventually realize that the good morning part is no longer relevant and sing back to you right?
But it will not stop immediately because ‘hello’ is all it knew for years.
That’s how your subconscious is, when you were little you have been criticized for a lot of things, you’ve been told what to do and what not to do and your subconscious brain believed it, now that you’ve grown that voice is still at work.
And just like the parrot, you can decide to do something about it.
How to increase your Confidence
The remedy to stopping that negative voice in you causing you low Confidence is by using affirmations.
Affirmations are positive phrases you say repeatedly to make your subconscious adopt it which will fuel your positivity, increase your confidence and self-esteem.
Affirmations help you replace the negative thoughts in your head with positive ones and I have compiled a list of 50 affirmations you can start with.
How to use affirmations to increase your Confidence
To use these affirmations, you’re going to read through them and whichever feels good to you, write it down in a journal or a piece of paper so you won’t forget.
You’ll be doing this daily. And no, it’s not much work.
You’ll choose about 6-12 affirmations in two categories just so you won’t get so used to the same thing that it becomes routine and would not work anymore.

You’ll then have to mindfully make the decision that you are going to say your affirmations. When you do, take a deep breath, say it out loud, visualize the feeling of self-worth, and imagine you are doing something bold, something you’ve always shied away from because you thought you don’t have self-confidence.
Do it when you wake up or when you’re about to go to sleep for better results.
When you hear it, see it, and feel it. In a short period of time, you’ll start believing it and your life, your perspective on your life will change and you’ll be unstoppable.
