Have you ever repeated positive affirmations like “I am confident” or “I am successful”—only to feel like they aren’t making a difference? In this episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset podcast, we dive deep into why affirmations don’t work for many people and what you should do instead to build genuine self-belief and confidence.

The truth is, affirmations can sometimes backfire, especially if your subconscious mind doesn’t believe them. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reprogram your thoughts—you just need a better strategy.

In this episode, we’ll explore:
✅ The science behind why affirmations often fail for people with low self-esteem
✅ How self-doubt and subconscious resistance sabotage positive self-talk
✅ The #1 mistake people make when using affirmations
✅ What to do instead: evidence-based strategies to shift your mindset
✅ How to use self-affirming actions rather than just words
✅ A powerful technique to make affirmations actually work for YOU

If you’re tired of repeating phrases that don’t feel real and want to build lasting self-confidence in a way that actually works, this episode is a must-listen!
