Daily Affirmations for a Regulated Life

Written By Becky Olson

These aren't your typical "toxic positivity" quotes. These are designed to help ground the nervous system, which is the heart of EMDR work. These bring both validation and recognition that sometimes two things can be true at the same time.

  • "My worth is not defined by my productivity or the state of my home."

  • "I am allowed to take up space and have needs, even when life feels loud."

  • "I can acknowledge a difficult memory without letting it drive the car today."

  • "Slow progress is still progress; my brain is learning how to heal at its own pace."

  • "I have the tools to return to calm, even if I feel a little 'untidy' right now."

  • "I am safe in this moment, and I am doing enough."

Cheering you on from afar,

Becky
