Reframe How You Think About Yourself
It is easy to look in the mirror and pick out everything you hate, or be extra critical about why you did not get the job (Also check it Is Two Mirrors Facing Each Other Is Bad Luck?).
When this happens, our self esteem lowers and we become negative about ourselves and the world around us.
When it comes to using affirmations, it is all about reframing the way you think.
While it doesn’t just happen overnight, you will want to get into the habit of telling yourself why you are worth it.
This is a positive action to stop letting things get in the way of living life to the fullest.
Once you accept that you still are a wonderful person with skills, ambitions and a whole lot of love to give, you can stop telling yourself why you think you are terrible.
Spoiler alert: You are amazing. You will find that the more time you spend on self love affirmations, the more your self esteem will begin to grow again.
How To Do Self Love Affirmations?
Rather than just practicing self love affirmations when you are going through a difficult time, make it a habit to set some time aside every day to go through them.
If you are not consistent, then there is a chance you will go back to how you once felt.
For example, while you are getting ready for the day in the morning, tell yourself some positive things in the mirror.
This way you can take these affirmations around with you all day. This is one of the easiest ways to bring affirmations into your regular routine.
The thing to try and avoid is to add a time out to your day to go through affirmations (unless you want to).
This is because you are less likely to carry on with it, or you might find it a chore.
Spending time doing your usual routine and going through affirmations is just an easier and fulfilling way to build up self love.
So, you can even try practicing self love affirmations as you commute to work, do the chores, or are brushing your teeth.
Final Thoughts
