Calming Affirmations You Can Use Anywhere, Anytime

Calming affirmations are statements designed to help reduce stress and anxiety.

They can induce a state of peace, tranquility, and relaxation. These affirmations focus on cultivating a mindset of peace and calm, and they can assist in grounding your thoughts when you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious.

The idea behind affirmations is that by changing your thinking, it is possible to control your feelings and emotions, your behavior, your reactions, and even your overall mental well-being. As such, affirmations can be a useful tool in managing mental health, including stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as helping to promote general mental well-being.

Here is how to use them:

Choose a few affirmations that resonate with you, personally.
Write them down, and repeat them to yourself regularly, or at times you are feeling in need of calming.
Some people like to meditate on their affirmations. This involves sitting quietly with your eyes closed, breathing deeply, and mentally or aloud repeating your affirmations.
Whenever you’re feeling particularly stressed or anxious, repeat your calming affirmations.

Below is a list of affirmations to give you ideas and inspiration on what calming statements or mantras will work best for you.
