Affirmations aren’t just about saying positive things, they’re about creating safety inside your body so those words can actually land.

If you’ve ever said something like “I love who I am” and felt a wave of doubt or discomfort…I completely understand.

When your nervous system is in protection mode, even kind words can feel uncomfortable or hard to take in.

That’s why gentle affirmations, ones that meet you where you are, not where you think you should be, can be such a helpful place to start!

Try these when you’re building self-worth and nervous system safety:

🌱 Every emotion I feel is a message guiding me toward growth and healing.
🌱 I can grow without needing to rush the process.
🌱 I’m learning to feel safe in my body.
🌱 I give myself permission to feel, express, and release my emotions in healthy ways.
🌱 I choose to believe in myself.

Let these be gentle reminders, not pressure to perform.
Healing isn’t about saying things perfectly, it’s about building a relationship with the parts of you that need compassion and care.
