Affirmations for relaxation

Relaxation affirmations are short, calming sentences you listen to when you need a pause, to slow down, release tension and come back to yourself. They work best in a quiet moment and when repeated. Below are 20 to try, plus how Qalevia plays them in your own voice with a quiet-stillness sound layer.

How to use relaxation affirmations

  1. 1

    Find a quiet spot and get comfortable, sitting or lying down.

  2. 2

    Breathe slowly while the lines play, and let them set the pace.

  3. 3

    Use headphones for the quiet-stillness binaural layer, which needs a separate sound in each ear.

  4. 4

    Use them whenever you need a reset, not only at a set time.

Write your own relaxation affirmation

  • Say it in the present tense, as if it's already true.
  • Say what you want, not what you don't want.
  • Keep it to one short sentence.

Instead of: “I'm not stressed.”

Try: “I am calm and at ease.”

Instead of: “I need to stop worrying.”

Try: “I let my mind settle.”

Instead of: “I can't relax.”

Try: “I relax a little more with every breath.”

In Qalevia you can write your own lines, and they're spoken exactly as you wrote them, in your own voice.
