12 Positive Affirmations for Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in our country, impacting 40 million Americans.  About a third of adults will struggle with anxiety at some point in their life. With that kind of statistics, it’s best to have some tools on hand to help combat temporary bouts of anxiety.  

Anxiety is a big tent covering many emotions, like overwhelm, over-stimulated, worry, fear, stress, and panic. These emotions then impact our physical systems, causing a racing pulse, increases in blood pressure, crying, and feeling stuck or frozen.  

The first thing I recommend to my clients feeling overwhelmed is to get in the water.

Water shifts energy and helps move these feelings through you instead of getting stuck in or around your body.  Shower or sit in a tub of water; add Epson salt and a little Serenity or Balance essential oil.  

The next thing I do when feeling anxious is to ask my body if these feelings are even mine.

You might be surprised that you are caring and holding onto emotions that are not even yours.  If you find this to be true, thank your body and ask all these feelings to move on to their higher potential.  I know this might sound crazy… and yet I have done this and within minutes, I’ve been able to move from an anxiety attack to baseline emotions.  

Try playing calming or uplifting music, eating good food, and taking vitamin supplements

Omega 3, Vit D, Magnesium, and Adaptiv or Serenity capsules are known to help with anxiety. Water with salt and electrolytes are a few other things I like to try when feeling anxious. 

The last thing is to acknowledge the feelings and use these powerful positive affirmations to help rewire your brain for higher vibrations, thoughts, and feelings.

Pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the months that follow are not easy for everyone. You can shift some of the hardest emotions to ease the big transitions. Other professionals, I engage when I’m overwhelmed or struggling to shift my big emotions: an energy worker, naturopath, midwife, or therapist.
