First let’s take a second to think about what negative affirmations are. They are words that you repeat often and you should never underestimate the incredible power they have to cause problems. Quite simply, if you repeat something often enough you will start to believe it. You may have quite a few negative affirmations running through your head which can change your life in a very bad way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these messages you carry in your head may lead to depression, lack of self esteem and low self confidence. These are things which obviously affect your happiness and well-being greatly. The good news is you have the power and resources you need inside you to help yourself get out of this trap, I’ll talk to you about that in a few minutes so keep on reading…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are used to hearing negative comments from others and in particular if you suffer from verbal abuse then you may be at risk of becoming a victim even if that abuse stops. What sometimes happens is that some people get so used to verbal abuse and insults they actually come to expect them and this is why some people seem to continually get caught up in abusive relationships and accept it. You do not deserve to put up with this if this is something in your life. No-one should accept abuse as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Self esteem<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messages that you get can really affect you negatively. Imagine someone who is subjected to negative comments all day long at work. Because of the money people in jobs like this sometimes just put up with this but the result is low self esteem. Likewise, what your partner says to you or what parents or friends say may stick in your mind and damage your self esteem if you let it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the worst things for your self esteem is self talk<\/a>. This is what you say to yourself. We are often our worst judge. If you fail in some way the things you say to yourself will reflect in how you feel about yourself. If you have to listen to negative messages from others then you need to be extra supportive to you. Positive self talk will encourage you and make you strong enough to withstand the negativity outside of you and even to ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
