Affirmations for Anxiety: 12 to Use, 4 to Rewrite

Written to hold up

Affirmations for anxiety you can use

In a moment of panic

  • I am getting through this wave, and waves pass
  • I choose to breathe out longer than I breathe in
  • I allow myself to feel this without fighting it
  • I am getting through the next minute

For everyday worry

  • I am learning to tell a thought from a fact
  • I decide to worry about this later, at a set time
  • I choose the next small thing I can do
  • What matters to me is today, not every possible tomorrow

Before a stressful event

  • I am getting ready for what is coming, step by step
  • I am willing to feel nervous and still go
  • I give myself permission to take a break if I need one
  • I am learning that each time I face this, it gets easier

How to use them

For anxiety, affirmations work best combined with slow breathing: say the line on the out-breath and make the out-breath longer than the in-breath. Avoid lines that insist you are calm when you are not. If anxiety is frequent or overwhelming, speak to a doctor — cognitive behavioral therapy has strong evidence behind it.

Why “I am calm” needs a rewrite

“I am learning to find calm when I need it” says what “I am calm” means without claiming you are already there.

The topic where form matters most — telling an anxious mind it is calm invites it to prove otherwise.

AffirmationFormInstead
I am calm Statement of fact I am learning to find calm when I need it
I am safe Statement of fact I am learning to feel safe
Everything is fine Statement of fact I am learning to check what is actually happening right now
I am in control Statement of fact I control the next small thing I do
I am learning that this feeling passes Statement of process already safe
I choose to breathe out longer than I breathe in Statement of choice already safe
What matters to me is getting through today, not fixing everything Statement of value already safe
