Reduce Your Anxiety With These Affirmations

When you experience anxiety, you know practically that it’s “all in your head”, but that 
doesn’t make it any easier to manage. You can’t just hope you won’t have anxiety or not 
think about it, and it goes away. But one thing you can do is start working more on 
manifesting by using affirmations, which will gradually help your subconscious shift your 
reality to a state where you no longer struggle with anxiety.


Why Use Affirmations for Anxiety?

Affirmations work great for anxiety not only because these positive statements can help 
you focus on the possibility that you will be relaxed and calm, but they can also help you 
to manifest through repetitive affirming and eventually no longer experience anxiety at 
all. 


Tips for Using Affirmations

Before we jump into the specific affirmations for reducing anxiety, let's talk about how to 
use them effectively:

Repeat Often - For affirmations to be effective, they need to be repeated regularly. Make 
it a part of your daily routine.

Believe in Them - Affirmations work best when you genuinely believe in them. If an 
affirmation doesn't resonate with you, it might not be effective.

Say Them Aloud - While you can certainly say them in your head, saying affirmations 
out loud can make them more effective.


Anxiety-Reducing Affirmations

Here are some affirmations that can help you reduce your feelings of anxiety:

I am calm and composed - Repeating this affirmation can help remind you to stay calm, 
even when faced with anxiety-inducing situations.

I am in control of my thoughts and feelings - This affirmation helps to reinforce the idea 
that you are in control, not your anxiety.

I am stronger than my fear - This affirmation can help you feel empowered and ready to 
face your fears.

I choose peace over anxiety - By choosing peace over anxiety, you're consciously 
making the decision to not let anxiety control your life.

I am safe and everything is okay in my world - This affirmation can help bring you back 
to reality when your anxiety starts to spiral.

I breathe in relaxation, I breathe out stress - This affirmation is particularly useful when 
paired with deep breathing exercises.

Affirmations can be a useful tool in your mental health toolkit to help manage anxiety. 
But remember, everyone is different. What works for one person might not work for 
another. So, feel free to modify these affirmations or come up with your own that speak 
directly to your personal experience with anxiety.
