My thoughts are thoughts, not facts.

I can ask someone for help.
Being anxious does not mean something is wrong with me.
I put my feet on the floor and feel them there.
I can be afraid and still take a small step.

How to use this set
Say the sentence on a long out-breath. Then name one thing you can see, one you can hear and one you can touch. Sentences that describe what is true right now work better here than grand positive claims.
Please note
These are for everyday worry and stress. They are not treatment for an anxiety disorder or panic attacks. If anxiety is getting in the way of your life, please talk to a doctor or a mental health professional; in an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Speak it Out Loud
Saying a sentence aloud, slowly, makes you actually hear it. In the app you can record it in your own voice.
Pick One You Believe
Choose the sentence that raises no inner objection. A modest line you believe does more than a grand one you do not.
Tie It to an Action
Say it at the same moment each day, then do one small thing that fits it. The sentence supports the action; it does not replace it.
