Journaling is a powerful tool for combating low self-worth. If you struggle with negative beliefs about yourself, here are seven journal prompts for self-esteem that can help improve your confidence.
Identifying the origin of your stories doesn’t make them go away, but it can diminish the power they have over you.
Now that you know the stories that leave you feeling small, it’s time to flip the narrative. Think back to a time when you felt confident and proud of yourself.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and look for examples that challenge your self-doubts. Just write and don’t overthink things.
Sometimes one of the simplest ways to feel more confident is to get clear on what you’re striving for. Maybe you’ve only been doubting yourself because you’re trying to live by someone else’s rules.
Affirmations are short statements that we repeat to ourselves. They aren’t magic (nothing on this list is!), but they can be a great way of rewriting a negative belief for some people.
