Rooted Calm gives you a simple system for steadiness when life spikes. Four chapters. 400 concise affirmations. One clear breath per line.
Inside
Grief — gentlest lines for heavy days
Anger — de-escalation and boundary cues
Resilience — values, small wins, daily micro-steps
Boundaries — short scripts you can say or text
How to use
Choose one theme for the week.
Read 3–5 lines aloud.
Breathe 4 in / 6 out as you read.
End with one action: set a boundary, send one message, take one step.
Why it helps
Brief self-affirmations can support problem-solving under pressure.
Routines increase openness to helpful messages and small, meaningful behavior change.
Pairing words with slow breathing supports regulation and return to steadiness.
Use it when
Grief surges after a memory.
Anger rises before a reply.
Focus slips mid-project.
A boundary needs clear words.
Sample affirmations
Grief: “I let today be gentler.” “I take this breath and stay.”
Anger: “I lower my voice and hold the line.” “I pause before I act.”
Resilience: “I take the smallest next step.” “I log one win.”
Boundaries: “I’m not available for that.” “I’ll reply tomorrow.”
For activists, caregivers, organizers, teachers, students, clinicians, and anyone who wants a repeatable way to return to calm.
