200+ Affirmations for Women Creating the Future in Technology

Dedication

For Mom, thanks for believing in me no matter what.

Introduction

If you’ve ever spent time on social media platforms like Instagram or Pinterest, you may have come across affirmations. These short phrases are designed to help boost your self-esteem and remind you of your strength, worth, and abilities.

Affirmations can help you overcome self-doubt and negative thoughts, and can bring positivity and light back into your life.

They can encourage you to trust in yourself and your abilities, and remind you that you have the power to achieve anything you set your mind to.

This book is written for women in the tech industry. Navigating a high-pressure field can be difficult – and it can feel even harder when you’re the only woman in the room. As someone who works in tech, these affirmations have helped me build a supportive community, negotiate for the salary that I am worth, and embrace and reframe failure as a learning experience.

I hope that these affirmations help you, too.
