Self-care looks like many things, and one of those things is using affirmations for black women to speak positivity into their life. It’s been shown that your mind directly impacts your action and your life in general. Your beliefs and feelings affect what and how you do in your everyday life.
As a black woman navigating the intersection of gender and race is often underestimated. Luckily, affirmations can play a huge role in instilling and restoring self-confidence. Often the thing holding you back from great success is your self-limiting beliefs, low self-esteem, and years of being told you can’t do it.
While you seem strong and formidable, it’s almost natural for you to hold onto things and emotions that don’t serve you, mostly due to your upbringing. Thus, using positive affirmations can make a significant change in how you think, feel, and act.

What are Affirmations?
An affirmation is a positive phrase you say to yourself to overcome a negative belief, thought, or feeling. As you continue saying them, affirmations rewrite your beliefs and help you overcome your negative thoughts and feelings. You will not believe them in the beginning, so you need to keep repeating the affirmations until they become a core belief in your system.
In the words of Abraham Hicks, a belief is simply a thought you have thought over and over again.
Do you believe you are ugly, lack talent, always make bad decisions, and are not worthy of the things you desire? These Positive affirmations will help you overcome those negative beliefs so start seeing yourself as who you really are—a powerful, beautiful, intelligent, courageous, and worthy black woman.

How to Practice Affirmations
To get the most out of positive affirmations, you’ll want to regularly practice them and make it a habit.
Step 1: Start with 3 to 5 minutes every morning and evening. Stand in the mirror upon waking up and before bed, and repeat the most important affirmations for that day out loud. Research shows that what you hear out loud goes through your ears and into your subconscious.
Step 2: Repeat each affirmation about 5-10 times. Listen to yourself, focusing on each word as it leaves your mouth. As you recite the affirmation, believe them to be true and feel the emotions accompanying the affirmation. If it’s love, feel the love.
Step 3: Be consistent. Try not to skip days when you start. Make affirmations part of your daily routine and be consistent. Consistency brings results.
Step 4: Be patient. Affirmations take time to rewire your thinking, emotions, and beliefs. Stick with it consistently and give it time to work. A few weeks to a month of daily affirmations is a good start.
Step 5: Forgive yourself. If you are far back in your belief, the best place to start is by forgiving yourself for believing a lie. Then affirm that you are ready and willing to learn how to love yourself, be happy, at peace, and get money. You know you are far back in your beliefs when you can’t stand in front of the mirror and look yourself in the eyes.
The Bottom Line
Are you ready to change your limiting beliefs? Write down and repeat these affirmations as many times as you can until you become the woman you admire. As a black woman, you need to know you are powerful beyond measure, intelligent, talented, beautiful, and unique. You deserve success, happiness, and respect from everyone.
