Anxiety-Specific Affirmations
These are some of my go-to mantras/affirmations for anxiety, panic attacks, stressful or triggering situations and even daily as a maintenance activity. I hope these provide help or solace to anyone who needs these. Please feel free to use, edit, adapt, or even add to the ones I have listed here.
As scary as this feeling is, I know I can get through this.
This is a feeling and that is valid, but I know I am okay
I may feel out of control, but I still control my actions
I am more than my anxiety
The past is over, the present is in my control, the future will be okay.
I am capable of solving the problems that come my way.
I am not doing this on my own
This feeling is temporary, I will feel better soon.
My brain is just trying to keep me safe
This is not the end of the world.
I have survived, and I will do it again
This will not be how I feel forever
I have felt this before and it does end
I am capable of being calm
I am allowed to make mistakes
One mistake will not define me
One bad day will not define me
I can and I will push through
All those who are struggling with stress and anxiety right now: Please now that you are stronger than these feelings, you can get through this and you deserve to feel safe and calm. You are not alone, you are deserving and capable of a calmer, happier life. Keep fighting!
