6 Positive Affirmations for Teen Girls
I Don’t Compare Myself To Others
In the age of social media and filtered selfies, it’s easy to think that your schoolmates are prettier or more worthy than you as you watch their number of likes creep up on Facebook and Instagram and such.
So what if someone has better hair than you, better nails, better grades, more expensive holidays, or does their makeup better.
With so many people in the world, there will always be someone who has an advantage that you don’t.
The trick is not to compare yourself with others. You are unique and have a lot to offer the world.
Trust in this and don’t worry about catching up with the Joneses.
Comparing yourself with others only brings about jealousy, and that’s not a helpful emotion.
What you need to do is break free of the tendency to compare yourself to others and just be proud of who you are.
I encourage you to repeat this affirmation on a daily basis and mean every word.
I Am Good Enough Just The Way I Am
Teen girls often feel judged, assuming that people are comparing you with your peers.
People talk about who is prettier, who has better grades, who’s more fun to be around and so on.
But you don’t need any of these things to determine how you should feel about yourself.
You’re surrounded by people who care for you, and that in itself should teach you that you are more than good enough just the way you are.
You don’t need to be perfect to be accepted and loved.
So, don’t bother trying to be someone who you aren’t.
If people don’t like you just the way you are, then you need to adjust your friendship circle so that you’re surrounded by those who appreciate all your good qualities, and want to be with you for who you are and not for any superficial reasons.
I Am Beautiful, Powerful And Talented
Once you’ve achieved the ability to stop comparing yourself to others and finding an acceptance of yourself, you can now take that a step further and become genuinely proud of who and what you have to offer the world.
When your body starts to go through its teenage changes, and you’re gangly, or you have breakouts or braces, that doesn’t mean you’re no longer beautiful. Everyone is beautiful to somebody.
And true beauty comes from your heart and soul, and shines through how you treat others.
When you’re a teen, you also need to learn how to step forward and take an active role in your life as you work out your plans for the next phase of your life.
This means believing in yourself and what you can achieve. It means feeling powerful and not passive.
And as you take steps to make your dreams come true, you must trust in your ability and talent, and practice until you’re perfect in all your endeavors.
I Won’t Let Anything Hold Me Back
A common problem with teens is a sense of insecurity. When you want to try something new, you can be reluctant because you’ve yet to prove to yourself that you can do it.
But guess what, everyone else is in the same situation when they try something new. Whatever their walk of life.
But you can’t let that hold you back.
If you want to move forward with something, just take that first step, and after the initial leap, the next steps will quickly follow, and you’ll be killing it at whatever you choose to do.
I Have A Winner’s Mindset And I Love Accomplishing My Goals
Whenever it comes to school, college or sports, you’ll have challenges in front of you.
And the best way to tackle them is to have faith in yourself that you’ve got what it takes to hit those goals.
Whether it’s boosting your grade point average or joining a sports team, the first step is to believe in yourself and be willing to put yourself out there to see what you can achieve.
As Miley Cyrus famously sang, “It’s the climb”.
Having a goal in mind starts you on an adventure that will make your life something to revel in.
And with a goal to motivate you, you can go on to achieve great things.
I Love My Body And All It Does For Me
It’s easy to hate your body when you’ve got oily skin and zits, teeth that don’t grow straight, and painful periods.
But there is a way to turn that attitude around, which is through appreciation.
The female body is designed to bear children, and that’s really something to be in awe of. In the future, if you wish to, you get to be a mother, and that’s one of the greatest privileges available to anyone in this world.
Giving your love to another person is a feeling you can cherish all your days.
And when you’re feeling grumpy because of your time of month, just remember what your body is making possible for you.
Wrap Up
I hope these positive affirmations for teen girls help you feel better about yourself and your life. With the right mentality, you can get past all the things that used to hold you back and be the person you were born to be.
