27 Self-Love Affirmations To Love The Person In The Mirror

Here are 27 self-love affirmations to bring positivity, compassion, and kindness into your mind and heart. 

Let’s face it. If we closely examine some of our thoughts and things we tell ourselves, they aren’t always the most loving. 

For some reason, we believe that if we are harsh and judgmental enough, we get better, heal more, or grow faster. 

However, unloving self-talk makes us shrink in fear or guilt and often paralyzes our healing. 

It isn’t about what others say to us or what message we get from the outside but rather, what is the quality of our self-talk. . 

Self-love affirmations aren’t just fake words you tell yourself without believing them. You must be conscious of the words you say, and if you feel resistance, examine it. Deepen your insights by looking for limiting beliefs that have been driving your life up until this point. 

The truth is, my dear reader unless you look within and address the relationship with yourself, I can tell you loving affirmations all day, but you won’t believe me. 

It happened to all of us. We may receive praise, recognition, and even love and still doubt whether it is true or if we deserve it. 

Self-love affirmations are mindful statements you consciously choose to think and say (whether mentally or out loud) and use them to change and heal your inner critic. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind when practicing self-love affirmations:

1. Be intentional: Be mindful of the words you are saying, and don’t make this practice a chore. Choose affirmations that speak to your heart and resonate with you. 

2. Practice feeling it: To feel empowered by your self-love affirmations, you must learn to feel the statement you are saying. At first, this may be a challenge since you may find it hard to believe it. 

In a case like this, do this. Close your eyes (this will help you to quiet the mind and go deeper within), and ask yourself:

“How would a person who loves herself feel?” You can also use visualization to imagine yourself as someone who loves herself. What do you do or wear? How do you speak? How do you show up in the world? 

Make this picture as vivid as possible. It will allow you to connect to it emotionally. 

3. Put them everywhere: You can place them on your fridge, make them your screen saver, put them on a mirror, or use different apps for affirmations as a reminder throughout the day.
