Overcoming Anxiety With Affirmations

By Hal Neff


It can be hard to do anything with the normal enthusiasm and enjoyment when you are feeling anxious. Anxiety can squelch your own drive and handle your life - if you allow it to.

If you have experienced anxiety attack, you may be fearful of having another one, however living with such dread means you're living in a state of continuous anxiety. This could transpire simply because you are scared of the anxiety itself!

Those who have never suffered panic attack or higher levels of anxiety cannot comprehend how hard this cycle can be to break.

* If you believe you have to live in a consistent state of fear and anxiety you're completely wrong - you actually can learn how to cope with the anxiety in a more positive approach.

Letting Go of the Anxiety

Worrying about the next anxiety attack might cause you to be in a constant state of fear that may prevent you from doing the things you need or want to do. Anxiety could be crippling, but that doesn't mean that it has to be.

It may be difficult to end the routine once you create the pattern of having anxiety-related emotions and anxiety attacks, but it is not impossible. You could defeat the anxiety cycle by using tools that are simple and convenient and you might be able to overcome the pattern in less time than you thought possible.

Using Positive Affirmations to Overcome Anxiety

One way you could conquer anxiety is by applying positive affirmations. These statements are a simple method to improve your thought processes so you aren't always waiting for anxiety to take control of your life.

Lots of people build their affirmations while other individuals apply affirmations from websites or books. It does not matter where you find the affirmations, just as long as you begin using them efficiently all through your day.

* Choose affirmations which speak to you and help you conquer your fears of anxiety. Affirmations must concentrate on the present and they should be about you, not anybody else.

Examples of Affirmations to Beat Anxiety

Anxiety affirmations are simply positive statements that you can tell yourself in those instances when you start to feel anxious. You may use these at any time and for any reason to calm your nerves and bring peace of mind.

For example , you could tell yourself, "I can overcome my fears because I am in control, " or "I do not need to be scared. I allow myself to receive the light of who I am. " Any statement that replaces the anxious thoughts with a positive feeling will work.

* Express these affirmations during anxious moments as often as you need to and keep on affirming the positive thoughts until the anxious moment has passed.

By using these affirmations when you are feeling anxious, you're literally reprogramming your thoughts. In doing so, you will be able to think in a more positive manner, and you may also use these affirmations to refocus your thoughts away from your anxiety and fear.

Every time you use an affirmation, you make less and less space for the irrational fears and the anxiety which have ruled your life for far too long.
