# Affirmations for the Healing Woman ## 100 Grounding Truths Organized by the 5 Basic Needs ### *A Free Resource from The Healed Human* --- > *"Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love."* > — Brené Brown --- ## How to Use This Collection Affirmations work best when they feel *true enough* — not when they feel like lies you're trying to force yourself to believe. If an affirmation feels completely impossible right now, try softening it: instead of "I am worthy," try "I am learning to believe I am worthy." Instead of "I am confident," try "I am building confidence, one choice at a time." **Suggested practices:** - Read 3–5 each morning before you look at your phone - Write one that resonates in your journal and explore why it matters to you today - Say one out loud while looking in the mirror — and let yourself really receive it - Save a screenshot of the ones that hit hardest and return to them when you need grounding - Choose one per week as your *anchor affirmation* and return to it throughout the week --- ## For Your SURVIVAL Need *When you need to feel safe, stable, and grounded in your body* 1.
