Affirmations for Stress

Stress is what happens when the day is bigger than the person, and most days are. These do not shrink the day. They shrink the next ten minutes to a size that fits inside you, and ten minutes is all you ever actually have to get through.

How to use these

Pick one, not ten

Read the list once, then choose the sentence that stings a little. That is the one about stress you actually need.

Say it, don't scan it

Out loud, in the present tense, a few times. Repetition is the whole mechanism; reading is not.

Put it where you will see it

Save the image and set it as your lock screen or share it as a story. The drawing does half the remembering.

Come back tomorrow

Heart the ones that land so they collect in one place, and open today's when you wake up. A week of this beats an hour of it.

If you are struggling and need someone now, please reach out. In India, iCall on 9152 987 821 and Kiran on 1800 599 0019 are free and confidential. Affirmations can steady a day; they are not treatment.
