5 Affirmations for Stressful Times
I’m not sure if you’re feeling it - but the stress of the news and what is out of my control is truly heightening my anxiety these days.
If you're feeling the pressure right now (like myself) - here are a few things to tell yourself when you feel stressed out…
1. I am in control.
Say to yourself…
I am in control of how I respond to situations.
I am capable of making the best choices for myself.
2. I am here now.
Notice where your thoughts take you!
Instead of focusing on what I need to get done this month (or even week) - I’ve been focusing on what I need to navigate today!
3. I’ve made it through before, I’ll make it through again.
Check in with your energy and how you feel
I’ve been reminding myself that I've dealt with stressful times before, and I made it through.
Maybe say to yourself: “I can do this”.
4. I accept my current situation.
Check in with your situation.
You may say: “I accept this situation for what it is”.
Notice what comes up - and if you can't accept it, work to change it.
5. I am excited about… <fill in the blanks>
If I find myself nervous or anxious about something, I will channel it into excitement.
Say to yourself: “I choose to focus on the good opportunities that come my way.”
Remind yourself of what you are excited about (some days that’s having a warm cup of coffee for me)!
I know these have helped me navigate days where I feel like my deep breaths are not working!
I hope these affirmations help you feel a little less stressed or anxious.
Sending love -
