Overcome Resistance and Self-Doubt
It’s normal to encounter skepticism or negative self-talk when starting with affirmations. Recognize these doubts without judgment and gently challenge their validity. Remind yourself that change takes time and persistence. According to Psychology Today, acknowledging resistance and reframing it as a sign of growth can help foster genuine belief. Try modifying affirmations to feel more believable, such as saying, “I am open to learning confidence,” instead of forcing absolute statements. With patience and kindness toward yourself, you can gradually shift your mindset and make affirmations more effective.
