Many introverted women entrepreneurs struggle with self-love.
Especially in a world that seems to make them feel different for being introverts.
The thing is, according to The Introvert’s Guide to the Workplace, a book by Thea Orozco, over 50% of the world’s population is introverted! This means you’re not different, weird, or odd for being an introvert. You don’t have to change yourself into an EXTRAvert (I did that on purpose lol) in order to be loved, appreciated, and respected.
However, to experience those things, you need to start from the inside out.
Something else introverted women entrepreneurs struggle with a little is self-hatred. They are constantly saying to themselves, “Why can’t I just be more like them?”, “Why can’t I be more outgoing like so and so”, and other negative self-talk things.
This negative self-talk is eroding your self-esteem and when you erode your self-esteem you erode your self-confidence. This causes you to shrink back even further! It’s a vicious cycle. But it doesn’t have to be like that. You can change this and honor yourself as an introverted woman. The key to doing that is practicing self-love. In a previous post, I shared 14 self-love exercises you can do. One of those self-love exercises is to use affirmations of self-love!
That’s why I am sharing these self-love affirmations for introverted women but before I do…
What are affirmations?
Affirmations are statements that you say to yourself or out loud that affirm the thoughts and feelings you wish to have for yourself. They aren’t inherently good or bad. However, what you say to yourself matters, and if you want to exude introverted confidence you need to speak to yourself with love, not criticism.

Do affirmations work?
Self-love affirmations work if you want them to work. The key to making them work is to believe them when you say them. If you struggle to believe the affirmations you’re saying to yourself then add on the reason why it’s true. This helps the affirmation get rooted in your mind as fact not just wishful thinking. Another way to make affirmations work for you is to adjust the ones I share here to be more in your tone and the way you say things. Maybe you use contractions in your thoughts. Then make sure the affirmations you use also have contractions. The key is to make them work for you.

How to use these affirmations for self-love?
Set aside some quiet personal alone time in the morning and at night before bed, turn on some relaxing music or turn down the noise somehow, and take some deep breaths. When you are relaxed enough start from the beginning and with full feeling believing in what you are saying say the affirmations one after another in order 2-3 times. When you are done answer the questions I share below to bring it forward with you into the world. If you can only do one time a day, do the nighttime one as it has longer to since into your subconscious!
