Affirmations For Anxiety That Will Comfort You

Whip out your self care journal because today we are going to be empowering ourselves with affirmations for anxiety and those overwhelming times. Keep your journal in a safe space that you can always get to when needed and you’ll be equipped to face that anxiety whenever it may show itself. 

I have studied psychology and I’ve lived with anxiety ever since I can remember so if you are experiencing it on any level then all of my compassion is being sent to you. I know what you’re going through, I understand how impossible it feels and I can reassure you it will pass, you will overcome it and you will get stronger every time. 

But we’re not here to sit and wait for it to pass today, because we’re going to be doing something about it. Anxiety comes because we have the need to feel safe, and for some reason we’re not feeling safe about something. We’re going to be meeting our deep need to feel safe with these carefully thought out affirmations.
