Positive Affirmations for Negative Thoughts
1. I can give myself the space to feel pain, anxiety, and anger without letting those feelings consume me.
2. When I find that a thought does not serve me, I release it.
3. My mind is a garden; I am mindful of the thoughts I grow there.
4. I am choosing to lean into hope rather than crumble in fear.
5. It is okay for me to rest; I cannot address all of my worries in one day.
6. I give myself permission to take a break from thinking when my thoughts aren’t getting me anywhere.
7. While I may not be able to control the initial thoughts that enter my mind, I can control whether or not I focus on them.
8. I give myself permission to seek help from loved ones when my negative thoughts become too much for me to bear on my own.
9. When I find myself thinking negatively, I ask myself what I really need.
That last one is an important reminder that, oftentimes, when we find ourselves overwhelmed with negative thinking, we really just need to rest.
Have you eaten recently? Are you dehydrated?
Maybe you’re all sticky and sweaty from the summer heat and you could use a cool shower. (I know I tend to get a little panicky when I’m overheated.)
Or, perhaps you just need to sleep it off.
Affirmations can go a long way, but sometimes we just need to shut our brains off for a while and recuperate!
