 We are bombarded with how we should be dealing, feeling and operating during these uncertain times; when in reality no one knows what they are doing. It may seem like everyone has it all together. You see people producing content, starting/ expanding businesses, and just being ‘Superb Quarantiners’. As we are forced to sit with our thoughts and maybe even with people that are not the best for our mental health, these affirmations can help get us through. 1. I am grieving my old routine and that’s okay. 2. I can use this time to better myself, which may include frequent naps and rest. 3. This is traumatic and I can make it through this. 4. If I get overwhelmed, I can remember, “Take it one day at a time.” 5. A lot of things are currently out of control, and I can still control how I respond. 6. I love my family and I need a little break. 7. Needing Help is not a sign of weakness. 8. Nobody knows what they are doing, I am not alone. 9. My productivity level does not define me during this time. 10. Many people are healing from this virus! If I contract it, it is likely I will be okay. 11. Even though I do not know when this will end, I can be hopeful it won’t last forever. 12. It makes sense it is harder to stay on track with my healthy habits during this time. 13. I matter just as much as the others in my family. 14. I am allowed to be however I need to be in this moment. 15. I am not selfish for protecting my mental and physical space. 16.

I love my kids and they are getting on my nerves! 20. My mental health does not have to decline during this time. 21. I am still able to remember what my therapist taught me. 22. If my mental health is affected, that does not mean all my hard work is lost. 23. It’s understandable if my energy level is low, even if I am getting more ‘rest’. 24. It’s okay to put my mental health before other’s needs. 25. I don’t have to like working from home to be thankful to have a job. 26. My ability to handle what’s going on does not define me. 27.
