You are enough quotes have become extremely popular. They have grown in popularity in response to the societal pressures that we all feel. No matter where you live in the world, chances are excellent that you are being pressured to be more. Be prettier, be smarter, be leaner… be a different version of who we are. Of course, this implies that what we are now is not enough.
But believing that you are not enough can be detrimental to your self-esteem, (as is evident by this World Health Organisation report.) And with so many messages from tv, magazines, and social media telling us we are not enough, it can be hard for us to believe otherwise. This is why we have to continually remind ourselves that, in fact, we are enough! Not in the future when we’ve lost the weight or gotten that promotion, but right now!
Our rebellious acts can include loving ourselves more, empowering ourselves, reading and internalizing “you are enough” quotes, etc.
Below are 72 empowering “you are enough” quotes to help you overcome anxieties and boost your self-esteem. The more you read inspirational quotes like these and practice saying affirmations, the more you will believe it. (If you are new to self-love and acceptance, this will feel weird for you. In the beginning, you will not believe the words you are reading or the affirmations you are saying, but with time and repetition, you will start changing your own mind.)

I am enough - Female Manifesto
I promise to love myself unconditionally;
I will remind myself that my self-worth is not based on what I look like, what I have, or what I weigh;
I will continually educate myself, as all strong women do;
I will encourage, support, and empower all girls and women;
I will not allow jealousy, gossiping, and judgment to jeopardize my friendships or my life;
I will be kind and respectful to myself and others;
I will treat depression and negativity with creativity;
I will have a sense of humor about everything, including the bad times;
I will work hard on creating my path and attaining my own goals, instead of trying to live up to society’s expectations of who I’m supposed to be;
I will stay positive and open-minded;
And most of all, I will remind myself that
I AM ENOUGH!
