gila

These are some of my go-to mantras/affirmations for anxiety, panic attacks, stressful or triggering situations and even daily as a maintenance activity. I hope these provide help or solace to anyone who needs these. Please feel free to use, edit, adapt, or even add to the ones I have listed here.

As scary as this feeling is, I know I can get through this.

I am safe

This is a feeling and that is valid, but I know I am okay

I may feel out of control, but I still control my actions

I am more than my anxiety

The past is over, the present is in my control, the future will be okay.

I will calm down

I can calm myself down

I am capable of solving the problems that come my way.

I am not doing this on my own

This feeling is temporary, I will feel better soon.

My brain is just trying to keep me safe

This stress will pass

This trigger will pass

These feelings will pass

I will be okay

This is not the end of the world.

I have survived, and I will do it again

This will not be how I feel forever

I have felt this before and it does end

I am safe and in control

I can relax my body

I will persevere

I am capable of being calm

I am allowed to make mistakes

One mistake will not define me

One bad day will not define me

I can and I will push through

I can do this

All those who are struggling with stress and anxiety right now: Please now that you are stronger than these feelings, you can get through this and you deserve to feel safe and calm. You are not alone, you are deserving and capable of a calmer, happier life. Keep fighting!

What is she supposed to do, motherfucker? Teleport?? Spontaneously develop the ability to fly unaided?

Not to mention the fact that THERE IS NO ETHICAL CONSUMPTION UNDER CAPITALISM

“All of the world is a very narrow bridge, And the most important thing is to not be afraid at all”

It’s not “I hate religion” that sets off alarm bells in my head, it’s any generalised use of the word “hate” in reference to a group of people made up of unique individuals.

It’s an mRNA vaccine, a type of vaccine that has never been used, so this would be another feat of science.

I asked the server for the biggest one they had and she said “that’s the 7x7, it’s not on the menu…you don’t want that”

And immediately my friends knew I was fucked because I felt challenged which I blame on my middle child syndrome and also on that I am by birth just an idiot so I ordered it without knowing competitive food bloggers write entire articles about this thing.

I sort of knew I was in trouble when the cook came to see who’d ordered it but I wasn’t backing down and in the end I ate all 1300 calories and THEN the fries and ALSO my shake and I had to go to my friend’s and take a three hour nap and when I woke up I was so fucked up that I just started eating leaves straight off her mint plant because antacids weren’t going to cut it.

Then I complained for like two days and Ultimately I learned absolutely nothing.
