Positive Affirmations

Healthy.net has a great article on affirmations and the positive affect they can have when your dealing with anxiety. Constantly beating yourself up does not help out with aniexty and relaxation. I have developed a list of positive affirmations that I use when I am feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Here's what healthy.net has to say about anxiety.

Anxiety symptoms are due to a complex interplay between the mind and body. Your state of emotional and physical health is determined in part by the thousands of mental messages you send yourself each day with your thoughts. For example, if fear of public places triggers your anxiety symptoms, the mind will send a constant stream of messages to you reinforcing your beliefs about the dangers and mishaps that can occur in public places. The fright triggers muscle tension and shallow breathing. Similarly, if you constantly criticize the way you look, your lack of self-love may be reflected in your body. For example, your shoulders will slump and you may have a dull and lackluster countenance.

Affirmations provide a method to change these negative belief systems to thoughts that preserve peace and calm. Positive statements replace the anxiety inducing messages with thoughts that make you feel good.

Using these affirmations may create a feeling of emotional peace by changing your negative beliefs about your body and health into positive beliefs. Affirmation exercise helps promote self-esteem and self-confidence and also helps to reduce anxiety. Many people with high anxiety lose their self-confidence and feel depressed and defeated by their condition. They feel frustrated and somehow at fault for not finding a solution.
