There is an unhealthy emphasis on a certain kind of beauty. Mainstream beauty standards for women often include long, flowy hair, a slender hourglass shape, the perfect nose, small ears, shapely lips and large eyes. If we don’t fit those mainstream standards, our negative self talk can takeover our mindset. Over the last 18 years, I’ve developed a set of positive affirmations for women that can improve our mental health and create positive change throughout our entire life.
Look back into different cultures and different times in history and the standard of beauty is DRASTICALLY different.
Why? Because true beauty isn’t objective, and it isn’t truly defined by one set of characteristics. In fact, our love, kindness, patience and confidence are also things that play into our beauty. But inner beauty is never included in mainstream standards.
Women who are aging often struggle even more with feelings of losing their youthful beauty. Again, the idea that aging can’t be beautiful is a very sad aspect of our throwaway culture’s mindset. We need to change this approach to beauty and self-confidence.
ALL of us are beautiful. But you aren’t the only one who may not feel that way.
Do you ever have days where you catch sight of yourself in the mirror and cringe a bit?
Deep down, you don’t want to admit you’re unhappy with your appearance-you wish you could love the way you look.
I know how challenging this can be. For many years as a young girl and young adult, I hated the way I looked too. I would even scribble out photos of myself in my yearbook. But through my Dressing Your Truth system-and a whole lot of healing-I can now say I love myself and actually mean it.
That’s what I want for you too.
The journey to healing and loving yourself takes a lot of practice, but the steps are simple. Keep reading to learn more about how to use positive affirmations to help you think beautifully and have body positivity.

Repeat Positive Daily Affirmations For Women
After clearing old energy, you need to replace the negative beliefs with positive ones. It’s simpler than you may think. Remember the mirror you used to stand in front of to pick out all of your flaws? Let’s put that mirror to good use instead with at least one daily affirmation to boost your self-confidence and positive energy.
The Science Behind Positive Affirmations
Whatever you put your mind to is what becomes a reality, according to the universal Law of Attraction. When we bring ourselves down with negative self-talk, we start to feel worse, see more flaws and age prematurely. When we speak positive energy, we radiate that energy, and it helps us feel better too.
Who is more beautiful: the angry, tired and bitter person, or the one who is authentic, empathetic and encouraging?
Our inner thoughts will show in our outward appearance.
When you continually remind yourself of your natural beauty, life’s beauty and the beauty of those around you with positive daily affirmations, you change from the inside out. You become a much more caring, present and beautiful person.
10 Positive Affirmations For Women
An important step in your day should be practicing positive thought. Get a dry-erase marker or a Post-It note to put a new positive affirmation on your bedroom mirror each week. Here are my 10 favorite positive affirmations for women.
1. I am a beautiful woman.
2. My body is a wonderful gift, and I love it.
3. I love how I look when I look in the mirror.
4. My hair is so easy, and it turns out exactly how I want it every day.
5. I am motivated to take care of myself as a response to the truth that I am beautiful.
6. I am just as beautiful as other women; we are all beautiful.
7. I feel comfortable, healthy, and alive in my own skin.
8. Comparing myself to others is a thing of the past.
9. I am aging beautifully. I am comfortable with aging.
10. I am viewing myself through loving and kind eyes. I see my truth.
I also recommend using the “I am confident” healing oil along with these affirmations. This oil is designed to strengthen your self-esteem, elevate positive thinking, and clear the mind of negative thoughts. It will support you in tapping deeper into the truths of who you really are, so that you can take inspired action, which leads us to step three.
Put Actions to Words
Don’t just repeat these powerful affirmations; make them a reality by acting them out. Committing to at least one daily affirmation is a great start. Close your eyes and visualize a confident woman. What does she act like? What does she do? What does she wear? How does she smell? What does she talk like?
Now, create that manifestation by acting like this confident woman. With your affirmations and behavior, you turn your visualization into reality. Commit to making small and positive changes in your life, building your self-esteem and trust.
McKenna is a Healing Center member, and she shared this incredible story of her own healing work:
I DID IT! Wore a bikini this Thursday for the first time in five years!
After I made my last post here on Wednesday, detailing the physical healing work I’m doing and the challenge, I chose to go buy a bikini and accept an invite to go swimming.
By the time I showed up at the pool in my brand new beautiful T4 bikini…I was READY! It was easy and fun, I felt a new appreciation for my body, it felt so good not to be hiding, and I can’t even describe how good freedom felt.🖤
That’s the power of inspirational affirmations.
Practice Empowering Beauty Habits
Here are some beauty tips and secrets that aren’t often shared. These three things can help build your confidence even further.
Nourish Yourself
Treat your body right! Look for foods that will give your body power and make you feel good. Drink lots and lots of water to hydrate your system, cleanse your skin and improve your mental clarity.
Stop thinking about “good” and “bad” foods like they have a moral value. Instead, think about how you want to feel and which foods or drinks make you feel that was 15-30 minutes after you eat them. Starchy or sugary foods are going to make you feel heavy, sluggish and sick after you fill up on them. Many vegetables and fruits will give you a natural burst of energy. Infuse your water with lemons, limes, berries or cucumbers if you want a little flavor.
Find Your Passion
Finding something you love can help bring joy to your day and calm your nerves. You will have a natural glow when you are able to pursue a passion project . This could really include anything, but some top choices could include:
- Art
- Music
- Nature
- Reading
- Exercising
- Animals
- Meditation
- Cooking/Baking/Brewing
- Gardening/Landscaping
- Interior Design
Your passion should be something that helps you relax and enjoy yourself. It should not include any unhealthy habits, like “therapeutic” shopping sprees or overindulging in drink. Your passion should bring out the very best in you and offer a healthy outlet that gets your mind off stressors in your life.
Don’t Harbor Negative Energy Or Negative Thought
All of us face frustrating or devastating times in our lives. Dwelling on negative emotions will drain your energy and lower your vibration. If you hold onto those sad or angry feelings, you will experience prolonged acute stress that will start to affect your physical health and appearance.
Work through your emotions, and then don’t carry them around with you. Let go of negativity after giving yourself some time to feel them.
