Hi guys,
I'm going through a breakup right now and I found some affirmations. Thought it'd be a good idea to share
There are 13 more when you click on the link below and they help me A LOT with my anxiety.
I shall boost my confidence and restore calm by remembering the following:
1. My distress is a result of brain chemistry and I’m not crazy. Just temporarily off balance.
2. My anxieties and insecurities don’t necessarily reflect what’s really going on or what he’s thinking or feeling.
3. Just because he broke up with me doesn’t mean that what we had wasn’t real. It’s simply not real any more.
4. I shall respectfully honor his request for space.
5. Seeking contact (stalking, pleading) does not bring relief, it only brings shame.
6. Instead of thinking, I have to get him to tell me the truth, change his mind, stop cheating, etc., I shall stop caring what he does or how he feels.
7. It is a mistake to heed the voice inside my head that urges me to seek him out. That voice comes from pain, insecurity, and fear and is not the BEST me.
8. When that voice is triggered, I shall turn toward myself or a good friend for reassurance, not him.
9. When I am triggered, I shall mindfully observe my physiology and let it wane without trying to fix it. Rather than thinking I have to see him and recapture what was, I shall think, Oh, look at that. I’m having an anxious moment. This too shall pass. Also try unfurrowing your brow. A calm face leads to a calm mind.
10. When triggered, I shall give myself a 90-second timeout for my physiology to calm down—and I shall not renew my distress by focusing on what’s upsetting to me.
