Just write some of these words of affirmation down on your phone or keep them in your head and say them to yourself whenever you’re feeling a little down. You’re allowed to encourage yourself. ?
You can either use “I” or “You” for these, depending on how you want to address yourself haha. These would work for encouraging other people too!

How to Use Afformations to Improve Yourself | Self Affirmations
Affirmations (when you say something like, “I am happy and positive”) are nice but sometimes they make us feel like, “Ummm that is definitely not the case in my life right now. I am not happy and positive.”
So it might not really make a difference for you because you just don’t believe what you’re telling yourself. (If they do work for you, that’s awesome! I still like affirmations :)).
A slightly different technique is called “afformations.” Afformations are like affirmations, but in the form of questions.
So instead of saying, “I am beautiful,” you would say, “WHY AM I SO BEAUTIFUL? :D” It’s silly but it always makes me laugh.
The point of wording it as a question is that it makes your brain start thinking about all the ways that what you’re saying is true.
So if you say, “Why does everyone love me so much?” then you’ll start trying to answer the question and come up with reasons that people love you.
I’m guessing you’re not a narcissist so you don’t need to worry about this being too egotistical or self-absorbed.
Nobody needs to know about your afformations except you. 🙂 If you have low self esteem, it can really help to start thinking about your positive attributes.
Here are some ideas for afformations, depending on what area you need to work on. They’re not meant to sound cocky but just to make you see the good in yourself.
– Why am I beautiful?
– Why do people love me?
– Why am I so smart?
– Why am I amazing?
– Why am I loved?
– Why am I so successful?
You really do create your own reality, and you can shape your perception by changing your beliefs and what you say to yourself.
If you want to live in a happy, positive world, start saying happy and positive things to yourself. Self talk makes a big difference in your mood and attitude.
