7 Affirmations for Difficult Times.

Hello my dear friends!

I hope this week has brought you some unexpected smiles and some slivers of joy even during this hardship.

It can feel really challenging when we are continuously bogged down in the “negative” to find those glimmers of hope and positivity. We never know what life will throw our way, and in these times, it feels like life is really throwing us a lot of difficulty to handle.

I really love to provide practical tools that can actually help you feel better. I would love for you to feel at least 1% better this week. And knowing that I cannot control anything that happens externally in this world, I know that we can start to feel those tiny percentages uptick when we go deeper within.

I’m not going to lie to you (I never do!), and so I’ll admit that my mind has been completely all over the place these past few weeks. It’s been dark and negative and very doom and gloom. And it’s interesting to witness those thoughts, because what I know to be certain is that like attracts like, and these dark and scary thoughts multiply if gone unchecked.

As we know, the thoughts that we repeatedly tell ourselves shape our reality. We, ourselves, can influence how we view the world, how we react to the world, how we show up in the world, we just have to create the space to allow ourselves to choose thoughts that are in alignment with our highest ideals.

As you might know, one of my favorite practices to bring my mind back to equilibrium is to repeat positive affirmations. I have honestly and truly been relying heavily on my affirmations to propel me through the difficult moments. Though the repitions don’t necessarily change a situation or circumstance, they do ultimately change how I view things. They shift my mood. They attract the similar positive thoughts that can get me into a happier, more productive place. And these days, feeling a little more upbeat and motivated is good enough for me.

I’ve written up a few of the affirmations that have been serving me well these weeks, you can find them below, but I encourage you to come up with ones that really resonate with you. When you speak them to yourself, I hope you can believe them, and feel them in your soul, and even if they don’t ring 100% true for you in this moment, allow them to serve as a guide point, a goal, or something to look forward to, knowing that this repetitive practice will bring that ultimate result.

I love my resiliency and my adaptability (This one is one of those “goal” affirmations. I feel it about 50% and the repetition allows me to act as if!)

I am strong, confident, and capable

I take everything one moment at a time

I am loved, supported, and cared for always (I love to repeat this one in moments where I feel a lack in all of those things, because even if I feel unloved and abandoned, reminding myself that above all else, I am here for me always, gives me that comfort and relief).

I am doing my best, and my best is always enough

What is meant for me will not pass me

I am at peace, I trust the timing of my life

If you feel called, I’d love to hear what affirmations you’re using to bring some happiness and positivity into your lives in these days. Share your inspiration in the comments below.
