Affirmations

Short, kind things to say to yourself when you need them. Pick the ones that feel true, or almost true, for you. Nothing is saved or sent.

How to use them: choose one or two that feel believable. Say one slowly, out loud or in your head, maybe with a slow breath. Write it somewhere you'll see it. If one feels untrue, try another, or soften it: “I’m learning to…”

When I’m anxious
