Life’s inevitable chaos can leave us feeling adrift, relying solely on ourselves when faced with betrayal and hardship. To navigate these challenges and find a sense of calm amidst the storm, cultivating inner peace through affirmations is key.

Life can be a complete ruckus and sometimes it will be one for so long that we can’t see the end of it… People can betray us, and all of the pain can come crashing down at once… What can a person do then? Who can they rely on? Only themselves. In this life, we can genuinely only rely on ourselves. We don’t know what people will choose to do eventually or when life will throw another curveball… We only have ourselves to carry… Today I want to help you support yourself with calming affirmations.
Some people are lucky… Their lives go easy on them and other people handle things for them… Some people are not… Some of us have to do everything ourselves while dealing with problems and also having to bear the pain of the people we love betraying us…
Both kinds of people will have times in their days and lives where they worry, feel stressed, and can’t seem to have a moment of peace. No one else is going to help you then, at least not every time, and it is best to know how to take care of yourself. So, one thing that can help each of us balance the state of our minds and calm ourselves as much as possible are these calming affirmations that will help you take a moment to breathe, take a different perspective, and hopefully feel a little better.
Even if nothing seems okay, we can at least have a peaceful inner world. And, often a lot of our worry is often imaginary. These affirmations will help you in different situations of your life, in times of severe pain and in times of the worry rampage. I hope they will, depending on the situation, help, comfort, and humble you.
