Self Reflection Affirmations:
I am not bound by stress.
I am able to free myself from stress. I am able to inhale deeply, relax, and let go of the stress in my life. Doing this makes it so my stress does not control me. When I am in control of the stress in my life, I am able to deal with it in a healthy manner.
Stress is inevitable in my life. The key is to not let it take over my life or control me. When I let stress weigh me down, it has an impact on all the areas of my life. Learning and using proper stress management skills is a good way not to get bound by my stress.
Dealing with my stress in a positive way gives me power over it. I have power over my stress and I am able to let it go. I am able to meditate, listen to positive music, take a hot bath or shower, go for a walk, watch television, exercise, or use any other techniques to positively deal with the stress in my life so it does not attach itself to me. These tools help me to relax and effectively alleviate stressors.
Today I am not being bound to my stressors. I have successfully rid myself of stress for the time being and I can avoid dwelling on stressors when they are present in my life. As a result, my focus is on the positive things in my life and not the stress.
