Weekly Affirmations
Often some people who have anxiety can feel it as soon as they wake up.
The alarm has gone off, they pick up their phones and start looking through emails, socials, reading news etc. then there’s the other responsibilities, kids, partner, pets.
Your nervous system doesn’t switch from sleep to full performance mode as soon as you open your eyes. It needs a softness, a moment or two to adjust, a nice easy transition.
Here’s a gentle affirmation that can help start your day the right way.
My Nervous System is allowed to wake up gently.
Now that might mean staying in bed for an extra two minutes and breathing slowly. It might mean no scrolling first thing, it might mean giving your body a stretch before you speak.
Being gentle with yourself doesn’t mean you’re being lazy, it means you’re allowing yourself to regulate your nervous system.
When you let your body wake up gradually you set the tone for steadiness instead of urgency and anxiety has far less to feed on.
Try this affirmation every morning for the next week. Before you reach for your phone take a slow breath and repeat the affirmation quietly to yourself three times.
Small changes can have a powerful impact.
