A calm and peaceful night sure sounds good this winter! Your mindset plays such a large part in how you feel and see the world. Winter can be a depressing time (hello, seasonal depression)! It can also be a stressful time with Christmas and all the holiday chaos. If you are looking ahead and only seeing stress, sadness, and restlessness, then you need to try these calm and peaceful winter affirmations!
How affirmations can create calm and peace
Affirmations are well known for being simple but life-changing at the same time. My favourite combo!
Your mind is powerful, and the things you THINK really matter. Just by thinking the season ahead is going to be gloomy and depressing can be enough to actually make that happen.
Affirmations can help you change the way you think and thus change the outcome.
So, if you use some of these affirmations to create a calm and peaceful winter, you may actually have a calm and peaceful winter!
For example: I have dealt with my fair share of anxiety, especially driving anxiety. For a while, it was feeling pretty hopeless. Every time I got in the car to drive, I was a bundle of nerves and we all know the horrible things you think and say to yourself when you’re feeling anxious. I was not the nicest to myself. I started using really simple affirmations before and during my drive. Things like “I am in control,” “I enjoy being in my car,” and “today I am going to have a great drive.” At first, it felt forced and honestly pretty silly. But over time, it became second nature to say those things before and during my drive. It really helped me when I was feeling nervous and slowly started changing my mindset around driving.
These winter affirmations can help you change your own mindset and hopefully, help you have a super enjoyable winter season!
How to use winter affirmations
If you are ready to use these winter affirmations to totally change your mindset and create a calm and peaceful winter, here are some tips!
Write them down: it’s always good to write your affirmations down because you will never remember them all!
Keep them front of mind: I like using sticky notes, phone wallpapers, or even setting alarms on my phone. The more reminders you have, the more you will practice the affirmations.
Practice, practice, practice: repeat your chosen affirmations a few times a day. At first it will feel dumb but don’t give up.
Pick affirmations that mean something to you: the best way to see progress with affirmations is to make them meaningful! Choose affirmations that are personal or even make your own if none of them quite fit.
