Thank you Cindy! I have my phrases too when things are tough like ‘fortune favors the brave’ or a simple ‘I can do it’ or even ‘chill’. 🙂 Once the anxiety is controlled, everything becomes possible.Thanks for sharing your phrases. I must try them.

It’s great to hear your voice, Vatsala. This is a technique I find myself doing often. My phrases are: “Everything always works out for the best” or “It’ll soon be over” (for those things I do not enjoy, like getting blood drawn or standing in a long line at the grocery store) or “Life is an amazing adventure.” Great post!

In reply to Lisa Hutchison. My pleasure, Lisa. I love breathwork with a word to relax too.

In reply to Barb Parcells. It's a beautiful word, Barb, and also the strategy that Gandhiji used in India's Freedom Struggle. The Imperial Britishers didn't know how to deal with it. :)

In reply to Heather. My pleasure, Heather. Thank you for sharing your method of using words for empowerment and support. I usually set a word for the year as a theme and find it helps to keep me focused using a method similar to yours.

Words are very powerful. When we can clear our mind quiet our mind and listen to our soul messages come out. I did a practice years ago with this looking for what word would stand out and knew how powerful that word was to me. It resonates deep for a reason. Many times I wake up with a word in mind and that sets the tone of the day for me. Thank you for sharing this tip & to reinforce the point for me.

I use the Sanskrit word “ahimsa” which means non-violence in thought, word, or deed. It works every time.

I have always found repeating a mantra relaxing. Our self-talk is powerful. Thanks for the reminder Vatsala.

In reply to Delia. I think you'll find your words will help even more with the breathing exercise, Delia. We all have our moments of anxiety and a spot of deep breathing along with words we resonate with helps.

Great technique, Vatsala! I’ve been saying: everything’s fine and all is well, without thinking too much. I guess I should try one or the other plus the technique about exhaling when you say your word and see when I get the best results.

This is so good, everyone is anxious from time to time so it’s so useful. I’ll teach my daughters too, thank you!
