You know those tiny things that seem too simple to be life-changing — until they are?
This is one of them.
If you’ve ever felt like your confidence is running on fumes (hi, been there), let me introduce you to the one line that has quietly transformed how I walk through the world:
“I like myself.”
That’s it. Three little words.
No crystals. No journaling.
No hour-long morning routine. J
ust a sentence you can say anywhere, anytime, and especially when you need it most.
It sounds… underwhelming. I know.
But when I started saying it out loud — especially when I didn’t feel like it — something in me shifted.
And no, this isn’t just “woo.” There’s actual neuroscience behind affirmations: the brain does rewire itself in response to repetition and emotion.
Which means, the more you say it, the more you believe it — and the more your actions start to reflect that belief.
Try it with me:
“I like myself.”
Again.
“I like myself.”
One more time.
“I like myself.”
It feels awkward at first. Almost silly. But keep going. Because soon, it won’t feel like a stretch — it’ll feel like the truth.
When to Use It:
- In the morning: Start your day from a place of worth, not comparison.
- When stress hits: Use it as a mental reset button — especially mid-meltdown.
- Before decisions: Whether it’s a career leap or just choosing an outfit, root yourself first.
- At night: Let it be the last thing you hear before sleep — it changes how you carry yourself tomorrow.
Here’s the thing: liking yourself isn’t vanity. It’s a foundation.
It’s what allows you to take up space, say no or yes without guilt, and show up as someone who knows her value — even when the world forgets to remind her.
So say it. Say it like you mean it. And then go do something amazing with that energy.
Because you? You’re worth liking.
