Making the conscious choice not to run away, but to stay in a shitty and painful situation. I think we can all agree this sucks, but is some of the most profound milestones. And often relief comes right after.

'Nothing has gone wrong' is great to explain how to see what affirmation is for you right now and which is hurtful. If this sentence feels like the biggest bullshit and a disgusting thought, it's not. If it feels like a huge boulder has been lifted off of your shoulders, it is.

Have you ever experienced relief by giving in to the pain and losing the resistance?

The main purpose of affirmations and mantras is to feel better than you currently do. I think comedy that resonates with your specific tastes is one of your strongest weapons in times of distress.

Using a blanket can be some of the strongest affirmations. It's a piece of warmth and stability, something to hold on to.

This one is a bit personal, sometimes it worked really well for me. To remind me all I already endured and I'm still here, kicking.

Resisting the pain and trying to distract myself from it have always made it worse for me. It's a little bit the same as if you're little sister or daughter was in pain - you'd tell them you're there for them, even though you can't do much right now.

Letting yourself know that you'll do what's necessary and stay when it's tough can bring a massive relief to your entire being.

Choose what you see. Life has literally everything. So make a choice and make it often. And don't worry when you can't. Free will is expensive.

Our brain is always defaulting to seeing more of the negatives. Seeing positive angles actually takes energy - one we do not have when we're sick or in pain. This affirmation can remind the brain that we are choosing to see the angles that it's currently ignoring.

We always have a choice, sometimes it's just a very hard one to make. We are always safe in some ways and in danger in other ways. Always. Choosing to see how we are safe may feel yucky when we're faced with great pain or danger, but it will help us see a logical way out.

A bit of an advanced affirmation for today. (At least it was for me). When we can tell our body and mind that no matter the pain, panic, the circumstance, we fully and completely love and accept ourselves, our body relaxes.

Did you know your favorite Simpsons line can be a useful mantra in times of panic or pain? Why not, right? (I usually go with something short 😅).

Thank you is an incredible affirmation. If suggests to your brain that there is something to be thankful for. But it has to be said with force and /or like you believe it. (Affirmations said as sarcasm are useless or even hurtful.)

When we're in massive pain or panic, our thoughts run amock. We're catastrophizing, bargaining, pleading for mercy, rationalizing, and so on. And any matra will significantly reduce this negative chatter. It doesn't have to be profound - anything you feel positive about.

Affirmations for acute pain or panic relief don't have to be sophisticated at all. Any word that has a positive buzz for you will do it, really. And if you normally have love for the object, even better.

If you're having trouble saying or thinking these, don't worry. In many states of mind, it is normal not to always believe it. One thing you can do is say it with more force as if you believe it. Another thing is to recite it over and over again until the emotion disappears.

As cliché as it sounds, for me this is the strongest affirmation for serious pain, panic, or danger. It is simple, fast, and efficient. The brain all in all just wants to know that you're safe so that it can stop panicking. Think / say it with force, over and over again.

This one will make you angry at first - if you're anything like me. But after I cleared out the emotions from it, it became my life-saver. Whenever I feel a migraine coming, reciting this over and over gives my power back. I stop being the victim and feel instant relief.

With any kind of pain, fear, emotion, even a bad trip 'it will end' is some of the best mantras to recite over and over. Because it will, it always ends. Funnyli the brain knows things will end when we're having fun, and forgets it when we suffer. Just keep reminding him.
