🌬️ Coping with anxiety attacks can be challenging, but incorporating affirmations can be a helpful strategy. Here are two tips on how to make the affirmations for when anxiety creeps in doable even during an anxiety attack:
1. During an anxiety attack, it can be challenging to focus solely on affirmations. Combine the affirmations with grounding techniques to anchor yourself in the present moment. For example, practice deep breathing, touch a textured object, or name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
You can also utilize the reminder feature in the Affirm app to set immediate notifications during moments of anxiety. When an anxiety attack occurs, receive a gentle reminder with one of the affirmations. This prompts you to pause, take a deep breath, and recite the affirmation to ground yourself in the present moment.
2. After the anxiety attack has subsided, use the app's personalized progress tracking feature. Reflect on the specific affirmations that resonated most during challenging moments. Adjust and customize your list based on your experiences. This personalized approach ensures that your affirmations evolve with your progress, creating a tailored toolkit for managing anxiety.
These features not only provide instant support during anxiety attacks but also contribute to a personalized and adaptive affirmation practice that aligns with your experiences and progress.
