Repeat with Us these Positive Gut Health Affirmations

Digestive issues are supremely uncomfortable, but they are also erratic and completely unpredictable. They can literally ruin your plans without a moment’s notice. It’s also more than just discomfort and canceled plans; GI doctors say when your digestive system fails to function properly, it affects the way your mind and body would normally work.

When you're in pain, you'll do virtually anything to end the suffering but have you thought of attempting digestive health affirmations?

How Do Affirmations Work?

Stretching the Boundaries of Your Beliefs

This exercise helps you encourage yourself that things might turn out differently than expected. You are practicing for a limitless mind, a mind that accepts the randomness and unpredictability of life and your body in relation.

Neuroplasticity

Our daily experiences, learning, and what we teach ourselves can alter our neurons regularly. Your brain is the head of the body; when your brain adapts itself, you get to alter your physical health in addition to just mental health.

Self Compassion

Allow yourself kindness. Understand that the greatest quality humans have is compassion. And everyone deserves compassion, even you. Especially you. Your mind and body can both greatly benefit from this one small practice. Provide yourself comfort while you are in agony.

What Are Some Positive Affirmations for Gut Health?

Stress Management

1. Thoughts aren’t real, tangible facts

People don't often realize this, but stress management is an important part of intestinal (gut) health.

Becoming entangled in a cycle of negative thoughts leads us to believe a lot of bad things about us. However, just because you are scared that you will have a digestive flare during that extra-long road trip does not guarantee it will indeed happen for real.

Challenge any negative thoughts you have and ask yourself whether they are really true.

2. My happiness doesn’t depend on everything being perfect

Cut yourself some slack. Don't put off feeling happy until your digestive troubles have subsided. Any GI doctor will tell you about the ups and downs in your healing process if you have a chronic digestive disease. What you need to do is Disentangle your happiness from your surroundings. It takes time, but it's worth it.

Digestive Flares

1. This is just a passing flare; I’ll have better days

You could feel like you're going to stay stuck in a rut for a while when you're having a digestive flare-up. Under such circumstances changing your perspective might help. Always remember that no matter how bad today's flare-up is, you've seen better days before, and you'll see more very soon.

2. I deserve grace at this moment

Of course, you will need to rest when your gut deems it necessary. But are you making a point to treat yourself nicely when your digestive system is acting up? It's still okay if you can't accomplish everything you usually do. Don't berate yourself for taking it easy. Instead, extend yourself some grace.
