Affirmations are powerful, positive sentences that can change your mindset. Don’t focus on challenges and lack, but on healthy self-esteem and unshakeable self-confidence.

Read the affirmation below aloud. Loud enough for your mind to hear your voice saying the words and notice how you feel. Feeling better? Repeat this affirmation at least twice a day – morning, and night – for 21 to 28 days.

I am free from doubts and fears.

I am taking the hand-brake off because I am confident in my ability to manage my life. I have access to everything I need to excel and thrive. I am free from limitations – fear and doubt are meaningless concepts for me.

My confidence in myself, my abilities, and my chosen direction grow stronger every day.

Every challenge I face increases my confidence and knowledge.

I may occasionally experience feelings of doubt – but they are temporary. I quickly overcome those feelings and replace them with confidence and peace. Any doubt I feel causes me to strengthen my focus and my commitment. It reminds me to tell myself how capable I am.

Fear is outdated, and it has no control over me, no ability to slow me down. I have all the bravery and courage I could ever need. I confidently overcome life’s obstacles with my hand-brake off. My courage to face life head-on grows by the day. My confidence in my abilities grows each day. I live outside the influence of doubt and fear. I have an exciting future ahead of me.

I use my freedom from doubt and fear to my advantage.

I am able to confidently explore new experiences. I am comfortable with uncertainty. My limits are constantly expanding.

Today, I have fewer doubts and less fear than ever before. I quietly smile at the great advantage I have over the average person. Living without doubt and fear gives me more positive opportunities and experiences, and my hand-brake is permanently OFF.
