Mindful Life Changes: Weekly Affirmations For Midlife

95. Affirmation for Anxiety Relief: Releasing What You Can't Control

Valerie Mekki Episode 95

Feeling overwhelmed by world events and personal challenges? In this calming episode of the Mindful Life Changes podcast, host Valerie Mekki explores the transformative power of letting go of what you can't control. Discover how constant exposure to concerning headlines and uncertainty can trigger anxiety, and learn three practical strategies to reclaim your mental space: intentional media consumption, the "Can I Influence This?" rule, and balancing negative news with soul-nourishing content.

Through a guided affirmation for anxiety relief—"I choose my peace over worry about things beyond my control"—you'll learn to shift your perspective and preserve your precious energy for what truly matters. This episode offers a mindful approach to navigating life's uncertainties without becoming consumed by them. Whether you're facing global concerns or personal transitions like caring for aging parents or career changes, this practice will help you find calm in the chaos and restore your sense of inner peace.


Formerly known as the "Mindful Career Change Podcast," I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.

Follow the show @mindfullifechanges and DM a question or comment about the life transitions you're going through too. I might answer your question in one of the episodes to help you and other midlifers navigate this everchanging and beautiful season of life.
