Affirmations for Stress Relief
Regardless of our best intentions, stress is an unavoidable part of life. While we can’t always change a stressor, we can change the way we react to it. Using positive affirmations can be a powerful way to reduce the effects of stress.
When you use a positive affirmation, it isn’t your current reality but it is your goal. When you repeat an affirmation to yourself, you repeatedly tell your mind to let go of your stressful reaction to the situation. Your words begin to change your thoughts and your thoughts begin to change your reality.
