Relatable to popular belief, self-affirmations can motivate you; however, there is a catch: they are only effective if you have high self-esteem.
A 2009 study found that positive affirmations in the present tense had a positive effect on people with high self-esteem but a negative effect on people with low self-esteem.
The researchers discovered that people with low self-esteem who made present-tense (“I am…”) positive affirmations felt worse than people who made positive statements but were also allowed to consider how the statements could be inaccurate.
If you have low self-esteem, telling yourself how wonderful you are will not help you because you don’t believe what you’re saying. It’s important to remember this before you start yelling affirmations at yourself every morning.
However, if you have a clear mind and believe in yourself and your abilities (i.e. self-esteem), then selecting a positive self-affirmation from the lineup below could be a great way to boost your motivation.
Here are selected 25 affirmative quotes that may derive results for your positive approach towards life to attain success.
