Positive Thoughts To Help You Cope

When I was in direct sales, we were taught to use positive affirmations every day in order to help us succeed in business and to grow as a person. You can also do positive affirmations for dealing with chronic illness. Try using these positive affirmations daily:

I am confident of my ability to deal with my health and live a good life.

Things are getting better.

I am making progress in helping myself feel better.

Today I can do what I need to do for my recovery.

I can treat myself gently and with the special care I would give a close friend.

I am learning what I need to do to take care of my body.

I focus on positive actions I can take to advocate for myself.

I look for the good this day can bring.

I go with the flow of each new day, accepting what I can learn from it.

I seek out the positive support I need to live with Fibromyalgia.

I let go of any muscle tension or problems over which I have no control.

I live with positive expectancy: each day I expect to feel better and more relaxed.

I counter each stress with techniques I know will reduce negative stress.

I can surmount any problem that occurs today with calm, problem-solving skills.

I can look for the resources I need to manage any problems.

I maintain slow and easy breathing, bringing fresh oxygen to my muscles and taking away muscle waste products.

I keep my muscles loose and relaxed throughout the day.

I can do whatever I need to do to take good care of myself.
