I've known for some time that positive affirmations can backfire in this way. I myself struggle with very low self-esteem, and when I repeat an affirmation that contradicts with the way I see myself, I feel that I'm lying to myself. This makes me feel even worse, and reminds me of all the ways I've "messed up" or let myself or others down. I found you first strategy, "Multiply Your Strengths" to be very helpful!

Thanks for sharing it with us. Indeed, false beliefs and misconceptions are often so deeply entrenched that we fail to question them anymore. Some of them lead us to believe that we are inferior and will never be good enough. Perfect recipe for poor self-esteem and low confidence. Only by questioning our beliefs and stories can we destabilize our misconceptions and loosen their grip on us. Simple method but life-changing effects! Wow, that’s a good one, Gina.

I would also offer, along those lines, the "work" of Byron Katie, which is examining our stories with the inquiry of "is this really true?" The observation that we're doing things that aren't getting results that we would like is one thing... the story about why that happens is another.
