Every anxiety relief affirmation on this site, sorted into 5 groups by the moment it is meant for rather than by day number. Pick the group that matches where you actually are today and read the whole set.
Each affirmation carries a short note on why it is worded the way it is, because the wording is usually the part that decides whether a line lands or slides straight past you. 51 of them have a video you can play, and most have audio you can listen to with your eyes closed.
Use these when your thoughts are moving faster than you can think your way out of them. Each one gives you a physical action to return to instead of a feeling you are trying to fix.
