A positive image and acceptance make you more confident, and it even helps in releasing stress piled up in our minds.

Self-affirmation is not really about reading some sentences in front of a mirror to assure yourself that you're of some good.

It is more about respecting your thoughts and things about yourself that you value.

Affirmations are not always practical if they don't align with what you think about yourself. It is more about accepting the truth while encouraging and motivating yourself to do good.
