While each woman is unique in who they are, some commonalities exist. This is especially true for all of those women — we’re talking to you moms out there — who put caregiving for others way before themselves. Or those many women who struggle with self-doubt and lack confidence about their appearance because they compare themselves with what they see in magazines, TV, movies, and on social media.
For most of us — men and women — negative self-talk is an issue.
And just like men, women need positive affirmations to combat the subconscious negative thoughts that can impede their progress. Studies show that up to 80% of the subconscious thoughts we have in a day are negative.
We can rewire our brains and become more mindful of our thoughts by utilizing positive affirmations. So, actively focusing on positive reviews makes mitigating any potentially damaging ones easier.
In this article, we've rounded up some powerful affirmations for women to use as a daily practice for bringing in more self-care, love, and confidence.
