Self esteem affirmations is just one of many coping mechanisms, which can be described as ‘survival skills’. Coping mechanisms are learned behavioural patterns used in order to deal with stresses, pain, and natural changes that we experience in life. We experience a range of emotions throughout our lives, some good, some not so good. However, we are not always able to cope with the difficulties that we face. There are negative coping mechanisms and positive coping mechanisms.
Our behaviours are usually a result of how we handle our emotions. If we are able handle our emotions positively, our behaviour will likely be positive. If we do not handle our emotions in a positive way, our behaviour will likely be negative.
It is important to be able to recognize our emotions before we can manage them. We can learn to become aware of our emotions, acknowledge what is happening within
ourselves, and to learn to think and plan before we act.
If we become aware of the negative self affirmations that we use (ways that do more harm than good), we can begin to learn, explore and use more positive self esteem
affirmations to manage our lives (ways that benefit our lives).
