“I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety and fear.” ~ Steve Maraboli
Beating anxiety is truly an uphill climb. Anxiety can feel like its taking over your life and not allowing you to really live freely. It makes doubt and fear your constant companion. As I discussed in a previous article on the 5 Step Plan to Positively Reduce Anxiety, there is hope. It can be handled.
A beautiful and highly effective way to beat anxiety, especially when it comes to calming those nerves, is repeating positive affirmations. You all know how “in love” with positive affirmations I am. I use them all the time, for myself and for my clients.
I’ve written whole series of articles on the benefits of these powerful, high vibratory nuggets.
5 Positive Affirmations to Calm Anxiety
Repeating positive affirmations over and over again has a calming and soothing effect on the heart and mind. And since anxiety is often triggered by stress, which leads to negative self talk. Positive affirmations work wonders to consciously replace that negative self talk with Positive self talk aka Positive Affirmations.
Below are five of my favorite Positive Affirmations to beat and calm Anxiety:
Tips before using these affirmations-
- Repeat any one of these affirmations as and when you feel anxious.
- Repeat atleast 5 times. For the full effect, I suggest either printing out these affirmations and keeping them handy or writing them down in a small note book and keeping handy.
- Use any or all of the affirmations here as per your needs.
- The bottom line, though, is you NEED to Remember to use them while in that anxious state. That's when they work best.

2} I transcend stress of any kind. I live in peace.
3} I am cool, calm & in control.

Ultimately though, the most important thing to remember is that you are in control of your thoughts, no matter what the external stressors are. Slowly and steadily you can master the art of being in a calm and beautiful mind, with thoughts that nurture you. Be gentle with yourself and you will get there. I know I have!
