You have a unique message to share with the world and my job is to give you the tools you need to accomplish the desires that have been placed in your heart.
Welcome to Day 2 of the Self-Esteem Challenge. Yesterday, we talked about appreciating your strengths.
Today we’re going to reflect on and affirm who you are. You don’t need to be someone else, you need to love who you already are.
REFLECTION:
Most people have a picture in their heads of who they think they should be. I should be smarter. Better looking. Funnier. Better with kids. Nicer, more loving, more easy-going.
These ideas have been enforced from a young age by parents, teachers, and even friends.
This has to stop today. TODAY it’s time to affirm and accept who you are – NOT who you should be.
Heath L. Buckmaster said: “Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.”
Dalai Lama XIV said: “We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”
It’s time to make peace with yourself. To affirm and accept who you are. To put aside ideas of who you should be and embrace who you already are.
ACTION:
Today, take 10 minutes to say these affirmations out loud and repeatedly, until you actually believe them.
I have everything I need within myself.
I have much to celebrate about myself and my
life.
I choose to stop apologizing for being me.
I love the person that I am.
I accept myself unconditionally.
The only approval I’ll ever need is mine.
Accept others as they are and they in turn accept me as I am.
The more you affirm and accept yourself, the most your self-esteem will increase.
Okay, remember to spend 10 minutes on the affirmations! No cutting out early!
Before we dive in tomorrow, share one affirmation in the comments below that REALLY helped you.
Tomorrow we’re going to be diving into the amazingly helpful topic of eliminating negative self-talk.

When it comes to building and maintaining interest as an independent coach, having a strong Instagram account can be invaluable. Because the platform is so popular, it can serve as a great driver for making useful connections but standing out can be difficult. Here are five ways to impress your fans with your Instagram content.
Instagram is a powerful tool for attracting new clients and winning loyal customers. However, taking professional, attention-grabbing photos is not always easy. Here are seven invaluable tips for transforming your photography skills.
In real life, it is always good to put a face with a name. The same is true of your product or service. Selfies are not just for millennials or those who want to show off their new tan or fabulous recipe. Selfies are also a useful marketing tool that adds a personal touch and tells your brand’s story in pictures.
Although following your gut instinct is often good advice, sometimes some cold, hard facts tell the whole story. This is the reason your social media strategy may need an audit.
An audit can help you find ways to excel at social media marketing or decide if it is a better option to hire some outside expertise.
In the haste to learn how to use each social media platform – and thinking you need to use ALL of them all the time – you might not be spending your time wisely and efficiently, thus seeing lackluster results. It’s also possible that you’ve gotten some mistaken information from other experts about how best to use social media. Let’s break down those myths right now so you can learn to love social media again.
Do you feel like a fraud in danger of being exposed when someone praises your work? Do you think your achievements are just a matter of luck? If so, you may be experiencing Imposter syndrome.
Impostor syndrome may be caused by your personality or the way you grew up. Whatever the reasons, you can stop undermining yourself. Learn to experience doubts without letting them interfere with the happiness and success you deserve.
It’s time to start loving yourself. Live the confident, fulfilled, happy life that you deserve. Join the free 5-Day Challenge and start building your confidence immediately.
