45 Positive Affirmations for Work Stress and Anxiety

Sharing is caring!

Most of us aren’t strangers to work stress and anxiety, and it’s certainly true that the pressure to perform, meet deadlines and navigate work related challenges and stressors in today’s fast paced and competitive society takes a toll on our mental health and wellbeing.

With so many of our hours being spent working, it’s not ideal to have this negative relationship with work. But what I don’t see spoken about often enough is the many ways in which we normalise and perpetuate this stress.

As a collective we talk about workplace stress like it’s a given – we complain about work and talk about our jobs as if they are a means to an end, rather than something that can actually provide purpose and fulfilment in our lives.

And it makes you wonder, what would your relationship with work be like if you shifted your mindset around it?

Because, while workplace stress may be common it doesn’t have to be the norm! And you’ll likely be happy to hear that if you want to explore mindset work to alleviate stress and cultivate a more positive work experience, positive affirmations are a great place to start.

In this post I’ll be sharing 45 positive affirmations for work stress and anxiety to help you shift to a more positive and resilient mindset when it comes to work, so that stress and anxiety doesn’t have to be your norm. Let’s get into it.

The Power of Positive Affirmations for Workplace Stress

While toxic workplace environments do exist, and not all jobs are equally rewarding, I do think there are times when we wrongly place the blame of our work stress and anxiety on work itself when we should be looking inwards.

If you’ve made necessary changes to your workplace environment (like cultivating a better work-home balance, having necessary discussions with your boss, or even changing jobs) and you still feel stress and anxiety around work, perhaps you’ll know what I mean.

No amount of changing the external will solve the internal work that needs to be done, and positive work affirmations can help address that.

While not necessarily a quick fix or a replacement for therapy, when positive affirmations are incorporated into your daily routine they can act as a powerful tool to reprogram your subconscious mind to foster a more positive attitude towards work.

So, by repeating them regularly, you can begin to shift your focus from stress and anxiety to more productive feelings like inner peace and self-belief.

This can help you to navigate through stressful work situations, build stronger relationships with team members, and step out of your comfort zone with more confidence. Affirmations can also provide a sense of comfort and reassurance during challenging times, such as dealing with difficult colleagues or managing heavy workloads.

So, if you have made necessary external adjustments to your work life already, or there’s factors that are simply out of your control, exploring positive affirmations for work stress may be worth taking seriously!
