Sometimes in life, we tend to feel untethered; it is almost like the ground beneath our feet feels as if it is uneven. This unsettling feeling is undeniably tough, but the good news is that there are lots of ways to deal with it. One of these is by reciting grounding affirmations as a way of shifting your mindset and building positive mental patterns.
We have the power to change our mindset by attracting that which we desire into our life through affirmations. By reciting the following statements, you are attracting them into your life which can be a deeply effective method of grounding oneself.
What Are Grounding Affirmations?
Grounding affirmations are affirmations that are meant to be recited when you need some balance in your life or in other words, to strengthen your foundation so you feel equipped to take on life’s many challenges.
We’ve put together two lists, each designed to ground the affirmer. The first is tailored to those moments when you feel as though you are floating and cannot quite feel the ground. These moments of anxiety, fear, and stress are absolutely normal and so there are several mechanisms out there to help mitigate them.
The second list is written to be affirmed more regularly, even when you are feeling well. Remember self-care is a practice and just as you do not stop going to the gym because you are already fit, you mustn’t stop taking care of your mental health simply because you are feeling well.
Consistency is key.
