Affirmations: Healthy Body Image & Self-Esteem

Affirmations can be very powerful. It is recommended that you say them at least twice a day, aloud if possible. More often is better, as these positive statements will begin to replace any negative ones repeatedly playing in your subconscious mind. Feel free to change them to better suit your own needs.

Morning Postive Thinking Affirmation

Today, I honor my body. I love myself, and I treat myself with respect.

I listen only to my own inner wisdom, and let it guide my every thought and action.

Today, I set my own limitations. I decide what I am capable of, and I constantly remind myself that I am capable of much more than I usually believe I am.

Today, I deny others the chance to make me feel badly about myself. I dismiss any negative remarks or looks that may be tossed my way.

I keep in mind at all times that my opinion of myself is the only one that counts.

Today, I treat myself with kindness, and I love every inch of my wonderful body. I choose to remember that many people do not have fully functional bodies. Many people do not have legs to walk on, arms to hug with, eyes to see with, or ears to hear with. I remind myself that I am blessed with the miracle of a healthy, mobile body, and I rejoice in that fact.

Today, I let my heart fill with as much love as it can hold, and I express that love to all that I encounter, whether they be human, animal or plant life. I treat others as I would like to be treated: with kindness, compassion, respect and love. I express love to myself, and treat myself as I would like others to treat me: with kindness, compassion, respect and love.

Today, I acknowledge the inner light within me, and I honor that inner light, for it is the true source of my beauty. I share that inner light with everyone I encounter. I remember that my beauty has nothing to do with my body size or weight - my beauty has everything to do with who I am, and I honor that person, always.

Today, I believe in myself, trust myself, love myself, respect myself, honor myself, appreciate myself and value myself. I am a beautiful person, and I let each of my thoughts and actions express that belief.
