Mentor Catina7 Posted August 19, 2023 Mentor Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm not sure where this list of affirmations came from. It may have been Baylissa Frederick. Regardless, they are really good! Profound healing is taking place in my body, right now I will cope well with whatever this day brings My body is self-healing and restores itself to good health My mind is sound, and my body is healthy I can feel unwell and still choose to believe that I am healing I have done this before, and I can do it again This is a normal reaction. It will pass. This is just a thought and not my reality. I don't have to believe it. These are just feelings, they will go away I let go and allow the intelligence of my body to do its healing work naturally I let go and allow my healing to take place This won't last forever I am grateful to be alive I choose to take things one day at a time I am patient as I persevere I made it yesterday and I will make it today I am safe right now I'm stronger than I think How I am feeling is normal and it is okay to feel this way. It will pass. I can use my coping skills to get through this Breathe and carry on All these feelings are present because my body is healing I am grateful for my healing I am proud of all I am accomplishing I am grounded, balanced, and capable I love and accept myself exactly as I am I am growing stronger every day I am getting better every day I am capable and strong I have the strength to make it to recovery I love my body fully, deeply, and joyfully My body is innately intelligent and I trust that intelligence completely My body is self-healing and resilient All the cells of my body are daily bathed in healing energy I am growing in strength, with every moment that passes I see myself vibrant, healthy, and whole Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better My body has its own wisdom and I trust that wisdom completely I give myself permission to ask for what I need I give myself permission to say "No." I am proud of all I have accomplished I have absolute faith in my body's ability to heal Every cell in my body is healing in every moment I am strong, valiant, and determined It is okay for me to make caring for myself a priority I am willing to ask for help when I need it Every day, in some way, I am getting better and better I love my body for its ability to heal I choose to eat wisely and healthily I speak to myself kindly and gently, as I would to someone I love dearly My mind is sound, my brain is healing I breathe deeply and fully. I feel healing energy radiating throughout my body I release the need to control the process and trust that full recovery is my outcome The healing energy radiating through me is more powerful than anything that can happen to me I lovingly do everything I can to nurture my body as it heals I appreciate my body for being loyal and for doing all it can to heal I use nature to soothe myself I distract healthily, not to resist what is happening, but to pass the time pleasantly I accept and make peace with the healing process This, too, shall pass 1 Disclaimer: This is not professional medical advice but is based on personal experience only. 1994 - 2017: Prozac, Cymbalta, Celexa, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Seroquel, Buspar, Lorazepam, Xanax, Ambien 2005-present: Trazodone 50 mg 2017: Effexor XR 37.5 >> 75 mg 2020 (March): Began 10% monthly taper of Effexor XR (got down to 12 mg) 2021 (September): Completely crashed.
