22 Coping Statements for Dealing With Anxiety<\/h1>\n

1<\/strong>. I don’t have to make myself anxious about anything, or put myself down if I stupidly and foolishly do make myself anxious.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. My anxiety is bad, but I’m not bad.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. I don’t always have to feel comfortable, and it isn’t awful when I don’t.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong>. I can bear-and bear with-anxiety: it won’t kill me.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong>. It is not necessary to be in perfect control of my anxious moments. To demand that I be in control only multiplies my symptoms.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong>. Others are not required to treat me with kid gloves when I feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong>. The world doesn’t have to make it easy for me to get a handle on my anxiety.<\/p>\n

8<\/strong>. Anxiety is a part of life; it is not bigger than life.<\/p>\n

9<\/strong>. My over-reactive nervous system is a part of my life, but it’s not bigger than life.<\/p>\n

10<\/strong>. I can take my anxiety with me when going places and doing things that I am reluctant to do (or stay isolated).<\/p>\n

11<\/strong>. Controlling my anxiety is important, but hardly urgent.<\/p>\n

12<\/strong>. Comfort is nice, but not necessary.<\/p>\n

13<\/strong>. I don’t have to be the one person in the universe to feel comfortable all the time.<\/p>\n

14<\/strong>. I’d better not feel calm, relaxed, and serene all the time, because if I did, I’d have one dickens of a time motivating myself.<\/p>\n

15<\/strong>. Anxiety and panic are burrs in my saddle: highly inconvenient and uncomfortable, but hardly awful.<\/p>\n

16<\/strong>. I don’t have to hassle myself or put myself down for not coping better with my anxiety.<\/p>\n

17<\/strong>. This, too, will likely pass.<\/p>\n

18<\/strong>. I can blend in with the flow of my anxiety; I don’t have to go tooth-and-nail, head-on with it.<\/p>\n

19<\/strong>. If I feel anxious, I feel anxious… tough!<\/p>\n

20<\/strong>. I may have my anxiety, but I am not my anxiety.<\/p>\n

21<\/strong>. I don’t have to shame or demean myself for anything-including creating tight knots in my gut.<\/p>\n

22<\/strong>. Feelings of awkwardness, nervousness, or queasiness may interfere with my projects, but they do not have to ruin them.<\/p>\n
