Positive PMS affirmations are a self-help tool that can help you stay grounded throughout your cycle.
For the last four to five years, affirmations have played a huge role in my daily routine. From building my confidence and self-esteem to increasing my focus, repeating positive affirmations has influenced several areas of my life. However, although affirmations have been a vital part of my daily routine, it only recently occurred to me that I could use them as part of my monthly routine as well.
As my body changes with age (I’m approaching 40!), I’ve been exploring new ways to nourish and empower myself, especially during hormonal shifts. And the days leading up to my period always seem to throw my world off-balance. From headaches and fatigue to mood swings and anxiety, the onset of my period can be quite disruptive.
If you’re reading this post, you’re probably familiar with PMS (premenstrual syndrome), the physical and emotional challenges that many women experience before their period. And like myself, you could probably use a boost of positive energy to get you through that dreadful time.
Along with resting, light exercise, and diet modifications—positive affirmations can be a good addition to your self-care routine. If you’re not familiar with affirmations, they are short, uplifting statements that can strengthen you during difficult times. Here’s a list of 20 PMS affirmations to help you feel at ease throughout your cycle.
Your body hears everything your mind says.
