99 Validating Self-Love Affirmations

Self-love affirmations are all about cultivating self-love and making it a priority in your daily life. 

By loving yourself, you increase your capacity for loving others.

As you build a habit of self-compassion, you become more compassionate toward others. 

And by repeating positive affirmations for self-love, you begin a new adventure in healing. 

What Are Self-Love Affirmations and How Do You Use Them?

According to an article on Psych Central, positive self-love is about accepting yourself fully, treating yourself with kindness and respect, and nurturing your growth and well-being. 

Everyone should have a list of their very own I love you affirmations to help them prepare for, get through, and finish each day. 

They get your mind right, so you can nourish your soul and love your body. 

An excellent way to use love affirmations is to repeat a handful of your favorites — out loud, if possible — three times a day and when you most need to hear them. 

The more you hear the words coming out of your mouth, with growing conviction, the more their messages will seep in and the more confident you’ll be of their truthfulness.

Whether you want to write your own or collect favorites here and there, we’ve curated this list of 99 of our favorites just for you. 

99 Self-Love Affirmations 

Choose your own favorites from this list of inspiring self-love affirmations and use them every day to build yourself up and keep yourself moving in the right direction. 

Say the words you need to hear and say them often.

And when others ask why you seem so much more confident and comfortable in your own skin, share what you know.
