Navigating & Overcoming Depression Affirmations:
I will not feel this way forever. I did not enter the world feeling like this, and I will find my way back to myself. It is not my fault for feeling this way, and I am not alone in feeling this way. But today, this moment, smells like a fresh start. I’m not depressed, I am just a human who has been experiencing feelings of sadness and depression. And.. I’m ready for a new experience now. I’m ready to see life through a colorful lens again. I invite joy back into my life. I am ready to fall head over heels in love with my life. I have all of the energy and motivation I need to stop this cycle in its tracks. The downward spiral stops now. Every day is getting easier. Every day I feel a little bit lighter, a tiny bit brighter. I find reasons to smile. Laughter becomes effortless again. I notice things and places and people to love- even if it’s just for a fleeting moment. I invite positive emotions to exist in my mind and anchor in my heart now. It feels good to feel good. I deserve to feel good. I embrace play. I am releasing every thought that doesn’t contribute to my happiness or my wellbeing. I release the relationships, memories and old beliefs that don’t contribute to my happiness and wellbeing. I deserve to have happiness. I deserve to be happy. I have the strength and willpower to elevate my state, starting now. I begin removing this heavy cloak that no longer fits. This phase of my life has served its purpose. I’m thankful for it showing up, adding the depth and the contrast to my life story- but now I choose to grow. I choose to evolve. I move through this and I move on now. There are better and brighter days ahead- I can see it now. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, a finish line and I can see it. The energy of hope envelops me now. I can’t wait to feel fully alive again- just the thought of it excites me. That little spark is returning. I feel the weight being lifted off my shoulders. I will look back one day and see how this chapter of my life came to a close.
