For many years now, people have been going through one crisis after the other, be it financial social, or political, making us question our future and the safety of our children. There is a feeling everywhere that something is about to happen. Something big. These things do not happen as we think they will. There is always the element of surprise and we know it. When it is impossible to control the future and when we live in uncertainty, we turn to ourselves and our ability to handle our emotions. Here are 10 affirmations that can help in turbulens and uncertain times.

  1. I am strong and capable of handling challenges.
  2. This too shall pass. There is calmness after the storm.
  3. I have faced difficulties before and emerged stronger.
  4. Uncertainty can be an opportunity for growth and new beginnings.
  5. I choose to focus on what I can control and let go of what I can’t.
  6. My breath is my anchor. I will take deep breaths and stay present.
  7. Gratitude grounds me. I am grateful for the good in my life.
  8. I am surrounded by love and support. I am not alone.
  9. I can learn from this experience and become wiser.
  10. I believe in a brighter future. I will keep moving forward with hope.

You could use these affirmations as you wish – and for some it only happens once, when you visit this page, but you can also find inspiration to watch affirmation videos on youtube or to print the affirmations and have them stick on your fridge to include them in your morning routine. The evenning is also a great time to use affirmations because it is a time when we are highly receptive as we calm down and go to sleep. You can use one affirmation, visualise it as you fall asleep.
