Do you ever feel like life throws curveballs your way, leaving you feeling stressed and questioning your value? You're not alone.
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to lose sight of our inherent worth and get caught up in the anxiety of everyday life.
But here's the good news: you have the power to cultivate a strong sense of self-worth and regulate your nervous system, fostering inner peace and resilience.
Let's start with what affirmations are: Affirmations are positive statements that can help reprogram negative thought patterns and boost your self-esteem. By repeating these affirmations to yourself regularly, you can begin to create new neural networks so believing in them because plausible because our brains learn through repetition.
The Power of Combining Self-Worth & Nervous System Regulation
This one is a BIG and often overlooked. We "think" that our brains are the ones that create our suffering - the thoughts we think, and while this is true - by the time that our brains/mind are processing it - our bodies have already been feeling it.
Our sense of self-worth is intricately linked to our nervous system's state. When we feel confident and loved, our nervous system is calm and regulated. Conversely, negative self-talk and stress can trigger a fight-or-flight response, hindering our well-being.
Here are 25 affirmations that focus on building a strong sense of self-worth, reminding you of your inherent value, as well as and nervous system regulation, promoting feelings of calmness and safety.

How to Use Affirmations:
- Choose affirmations that resonate with you. Not all affirmations will work for everyone. The reason for this is that there has to be a belief attached to it - meaning your brain needs to believe it to let it in. So pick the ones that feel most relevant to your current situation, and with enough repetition your mind much like a bouncer will grant access.
- Repeat them regularly. Consistency is key! Aim to repeat your chosen affirmations throughout the day, during meditation, or while journaling.
- Feel the meaning. Don't just say the words; truly believe and internalize the positive messages.
Building self-worth and regulating your nervous system are journeys, not destinations. Be patient with yourself, celebrate your progress, and remember, you are worthy of love, respect, and a life filled with peace and joy.
