I don’t know what it is about the middle of the week that seems like a mini episode of mission impossible. Added to the fact that I woke up with a headache the size of Texas this morning, I was suddenly super aware of all things I haven’t gotten done that need to happen before the weekend.
Time to step back, take a deep breath and center a bit.
The problem with being someone who’s usually pretty busy is that we find time to schedule everything except time to regroup. We do most things on the go –email from a phone, coffee in a (hopefully) spill-proof cup, blogging during a commute. So when it comes time to clear your mind and push through the last leg of the week, we typically need to do that on the go, too.
Bring on the positive affirmations. These are easy to write down, whisper to yourself between tasks and keep on rotation between songs on your playlist during the day. I’ve shared some of my favorites here and why they work for me.
Here’s to a good week, finishing strong!
8 Affirmations for the Insanely Busy
1. I receive all feedback with kindness but make the final call myself.
2. I refuse to give up because I haven’t tried all possible ways.
3. I breathe in calmness and breathe out nervousness.
4. I choose to find hopeful and optimistic ways to look at this.
5. The more grateful I am, the more reasons I find to be grateful.
6. My thoughts are under my control.
7. I am a source of very powerful energy.
8. Only good things lie before me.
Pop these into your planner or Calendar so that while you’re making your way through today’s tasks, you’re reminded that you’ve got this. Because you do!
Love these – I have saved this post to keep me sane with the last part of my degree, I have a feeling I will need them!
Feeling the need to repeat all eight after this morning! Thank you for the thoughtful content, as always!
I feel refreshed simply by reading this!
I loved this! Really needed to read it!
Such a great list, I need to add these babies into my life! I get overwhelmed and stressed so easily these day! Thanks for sharing.
These are great affirmations. I always have special motivational phrases I say to myself throughout the day when I’m feeling stressed. I especially love number five – being grateful is one of life’s simple pleasures.

“My thoughts are under my control”
This is something I REALLY need to remember lately; we are in control of our thoughts and how they make us feel.
Awesome post.
Wow. #2, 3, & 6! I totally needed this. I was just hashing on myself about being a total introvert and now I’m realizing I need to take some smaller steps towards changing that instead of just yelling at myself! Thank you!
#3 is my favorite! I can be a bundle of nerves at times and there’s something about repeating an affirmation like this that really seems to calm everything down for me! Great list.
