- These affirmations for driving anxiety are designed for people who want to help manage their own fear of driving. Positive driving affirmations can interrupt your normal pattern of negative thoughts about your driving skills.
Affirmations are well-researched in the fields of sports psychology and health psychology. But they can also be used to reduce anxiety and stress.
Listen to the affirmations often, pick out one or two that resonate with you. Then write them down where you'll notice them often.
Affirmations can be listened to silently, spoken aloud, written down, sung, chanted or listened to in rhythm with movement.

🚙DRIVING ANXIETY SURVEY 🚙
Friends, I need your help! If you have experienced driving anxiety, I would be so grateful if you could you please spare 10 minutes to fill in my questionnaire forms.gle/i7koDwEGaYy5vmox5 .
You may have seen my driving anxiety video's on RUclips and now I am writing a book to help people overcome driving anxiety. I am interested in collecting a broad range of views from people with driving anxiety to make sure the book is of benefit to as many people as possible.
Note: Everything you share will be strictly confidential, and will only be used as general research for my book, to understand the experiences and patterns of behavior among anxious drivers of all levels.
Thank you so much.
Clare from Generation Calm
We look forward to your book - please keep us informed as to when it is to be published.
Hi
looking forward to the book 📕
PASSED MY DRIVERS TEST TODAY!!!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations 🎊
i really hope this works because driving makes me want to cry
Driving to work tomorrow after having my car over a year. Driving anxiety is real but I won't let it hold me back anymore!
I have my first driving lesson tomorrow after 4 years of not driving due to a driving phobia. This video really helped ease my nerves :)
That's a big step - good for you! And good luck
I’ve been back doing lessons after four years too! I listen to this before every lesson and it puts me at ease so much! ☺️
Have you recovered?
@@precious1mk yes! 🥺 it took a lot of work but I passed my road test on the first try and now I drive everywhere. I’m actually typing this sitting in my car at the park. It gets a lot better :)
@@alexanatale that is fantastic! I have to start getting myself motivated again! What did you think helped most?
I just bought my first car because I want to experience more of the world around me and driving is a tool I can use to get to those places. Thanks for the video it really reduced my anxiety.
Perfect! It's wonderful you have a goal in mind to visit places - having a goal helps when overcoming any anxiety.
I am 49 years old and I had my driving license 5 months ago 🙄, It was very dificult to pass the exam but I did it finally😊, now I am very afraid to drive.... , this video is wonderful, thanks a lot😘
You can do it! It doesn't matter how long it takes to build up your confidence, it will be worth it. Keep reminding yourself of the things you want to be able to do or the places you can visit when driving. It will help to keep your motivation levels up!
When I start getting driving anxiety I just watch your videos before I drive, along with praying! I’ve been driving for only a month and some days I have easy days some days are harder for me. Thanks for your videos!
That's good to know. Just like anytime we learn a new skill there are good days and bad, it's just part of the learning process. But I love that you are setting yourself up for a healthy mindset before you get out on the road.
I got my license but I have been fearful of driving alone this really helped me calm down 🖤 today is my first time I will be in a car by myself wish me luck 🍀
I hope your journey went well 🚗
Wow thank you I do have my drivers license for 4 years now but lately I been having mayor anxiety while driving especially if I’m stuck in traffic my heart starts beating fast and I feel like I can’t breathe 😢
I feel the same thing when I am waiting at the red signal
I’ve never been nervous to drive till recently suddenly started having panic attacks for no reason and ur video really helped me ❤️
I have been driving for 15 years. Recently out of nowhere I have panic attacks driving in the town I grew up in. Let's all just do it and be better. Be aware.and be confident.
Same here. I dunno where it started.. I did not have any major accident. But I get anxiety before I have to go for driving. going for a drive now after almost 2 months
Failed my 1st driving text ,watching your videos as at now and now looking forward for the 2nd text feeling so positive 😊 I'll pass pray for me please.
You got this! I failed 1st time too. You can absolutely do this, wishing you lots of good luck and positive vibes for the 2nd test.
Thank God I finally passed
@@carolinekageni5663 Yahoo! That's fantastic news
My favorite i always use is, driving is fun and safe, even if its not really true this always helps me get kalm and excited to drive.
Yes, I love that!
I passed my test last Saturday! Thank you so much :)
I never comment on any videos but I must come back here to say thank you! I listened to the video on repeat yesterday evening and today morning before my 2nd driving test. And I just passed!! Big thanks, this really helped!
Wonderful! Congratulations on passing your test!!
Thank you for making this video, it helped so much! I've now officially passed my driving test today!!🎉
if anyone else is feeling nervous before their test, you can do this! Stay calm, focused, trust yourself, and it will happen!
Extra things that might help too: rescue remedy pastilles, getting a good night's sleep, having music/the radio on a low volume if helpful and allowed to, and watching if there are any youtube videos of your area's test routes. Best of luck!! :)
A huge congratulations for passing your test!! Well done 🎉
Excellent, thank you, I've recently passed my test at 62 and these affirmations continue to help me improve.
Thanks for this video. I'm going through menopause and my hormones are all over the place, which has led to anxiety and panic attacks when i drive. This came out of no where, i mean no trauma. I've been a driver for over 25 years, so this new phobia is mind boggling.
Please other tips will be appreciated
Yes, there's a misconception that driving anxiety starts with an accident, but it generally starts with an incident - like a near miss, someone driving too close behind, getting lost and flustered one time, getting stuck in a long traffic jam with nowhere to go. I have a whole bunch of video's you may find helpful here ruclips.net/p/PLlhU5CGlNSZzyEPmTqeeOq0pM8b3vP5Bb so you can start to find a way back to how you were before the hormones started flying all over the place
@@GenerationCalm exactly same situation as this lady. I thought I was on my own going through this. You have been so helpful. Thank you
Anne, you're definitely not alone. Glad the video's are helpful to you.
@@GenerationCalm they are, thank you ❤️
I had the same happen! I use to love to drive and now I have trouble getting on the freeway! Perimenopause has contributed to this. It's a bit frustrating but also know it's quite common. Thanks so much for sharing!
these affirmations left me feeling so calm and confident. i actually feel excited to be driving tomorrow! :) thank you so so so much, hope you have a great day!!! xxxx
I'm so glad you're feeling excited about your driving ... hope your trip went well!
@@GenerationCalm thank you so much! these affirmations really bring the excitement in me, thank you! you’re so kind 🤍
Thank you very much for your excellent videos - they have helped me enormously to pass my test and to begin driving independently.
Thank you for acknowledge driving anxiety and taking your time & efforts to help those like me who find it difficult to deal with this driving anxiety! Really appreciate your calm and soothing voice & affirmations! Grateful to see your videos and messages! Deep respect for your work!🙏🏼😇🤍🤍
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I hope you can work through the driving anxiety and start to enjoy getting out and about in the car. 🚗🌻
Going to my driving practice in a few minutes so I’m listening to this to calm down my driving anxiety
I hope it helped!
Wonderful. Thank you.
I am starting to drive again after 20 years of total terror.
That’s fantastic news! I’m so glad to hear it, you’ve got this!
@@GenerationCalm thank you!
Oh wow, how are you doing? I haven’t been able to drive for almost two months due to anxiety.
how you have been doing?
Thank you! Very helpful in counteracting the negative thoughts. Your voice is very soothing and all your driving videos are motivational. I feel understood, and not a victim. Starting my small steps and embracing the peace and determined not to let setbacks stop me. Long way to go, but I am unlocking some destinations and it feels empowering.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 💕I started driving again after many years. These affirmations are helping me so much to overcome my anxiety.
That's amazing, well done!!
I have my drivers test in 2 hours... for the seconde time. been listening these a lot the past few days / weeks. Please wish me luck I want it so badly ❤️
Been thinking about you today ... I hope it went well!
@@GenerationCalm yes I passed 🥰 thank you, the words in the video were so calming and made me believe more in myself. It's all in alignment 😍
@@tanishadechamps226 That's fantastic, congratulations!
Thank you for explaining what affirmations are for! So many people have thrown them at me and they just feel insulting without knowing I'm not ACTUALLY supposed to believe them, just consider them.
Thank you this made me pass my drivers test now I can drive beep beep
Thank you so much😊☺️..I used to be a passionate driver but recently due to a very small mistake in a roundabout, I lost confidence and never felt the same about driving..plus I’m a mom of three kids so confidence became a big problem..I’m so so grateful for this video and it has greatly helped me gain back my confidence..love you🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹✨✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Keep it up ...you can do this!
I am preparing to restart my lessons in April as we have been in lockdown since the new year and most of last year. These affirmations will give me a boost and control my anxiety.
Thanks💯❤😁
So many things have been put on hold - here's hoping your driving lessons will start soon and I have no doubt your confidence will soar once you get going again!
I am going to copy some of my favourite affirmations down and read them everyday. Thank you for giving me confidence to prepare for my lessons again 😊❤
@@GenerationCalm
Thank you for your vote of confidence.
I have always found driving lessons hard and this is why other people I know, have passed their driving tests easily even if they speak little or no English.
I have tried learning for years now, and changed instructors many times or packed in altogether as some of them wanted to rip me off and not teach me anything.
This time I have found a great instructor. I would like to know if there a way I can change my mindset so that I don't think of 'Driving lessons' as being hard and be able to learn with more ease and confidence.
Now that I am a parent, I would really like to learn for myself as well as my children and finish that goal that I started years ago when I was a teenager.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Your affirmations are really helping also.
Many thanks
❤ Hina
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I didn't see this comment hiding here. I don't know if you're still able to do lessons at the moment, because lockdowns have put a stop to so many things. But, mindset is a major sticking point for many. It's good to remember there is a difference between 'fixed mindset' and 'growth mindset'. Fixed is when we believe people are born good at something and growth mindset is when we believe we have the ability to be good at anything we just need the practice. Growth mindset is what will help you (and your children) and it's just a matter of adding the word 'yet' to your negative sentences. I can't drive yet. I don't know how to park yet. That small word 'yet' allows the room for possibility of learning something new. You can do this!
I have failed my test and getting ready for it again. I need these affirmations to calm my nerves so i can pass and be done with it🙏
Thank you for this. I stopped driving for 3 years because I feel nervous behind the wheels and I just let my partner drive. I am now doing this affirmation before my driving lesson to brush up my skills. ❤
I recently got my drivers permit and my anxiety calms down the more I listen to and repeat the affirmations ✨THANKYOU✨
You are so welcome, good luck!
Thank you so much❤❤❤❤ today I pass my driving test🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹
Thank you very much by listening to this affirmations for a few weeks I finally drove on the motorway
Wonderful! You just made me so happy! Well done you!
Thanks to you ❤
I’m so blessed to have found this community that experience what I have. I still struggle with driving anxiety… I used to travel and drive on the highway.. but my 1st time experiencing a panic attack was when I was with my ex husband headed to Florida… one min I was fine and the next I was panicked being surrounded by so much water. I’ve traveled with friends after that… but now it’s like I have a fear of just going to the next city or even 20 or 30 mins away. It’s like a overwhelming fear of an accident, something bad Happening and I’ll be alone and far away from home. When I try and make a little progress I feel great but not long after I feel defeated because it’s literally just 20 min distance. I cry because it hurts to battle with this when I have so many places I want to go and travel to but this fear keeps me in bondage. I want to be healed and free. The last time it was a friends wedding reception… I was so excited to go… but I came upon an overpass(bridge on highway) it wasn’t familiar and instantly panic set in and I got so scared I felt like I was going to go off the ramp… or lose control… I got so scared I exited off almost getting into an accident
So sorry to hear. I hope you are feeling and doing better these days ❤
I failed my first test looking forward to my second started to listen to this feel confident put it on repeat as much as i can want to get my license will continue listen to it as much as i can
You can do this!
Im gonna be watching this very often now that ive started driving lessonssss
Thank you for making this video, its really useful for me to overcome my anxiety ❤
I am driving my car more than a month.. But still need confidence and alert.. Thank you for this video to relax
This is just what’s needed, so encouraging and beautiful. Thanks so much ❤
Beyond fear is win.
Affirmations help tremendously also anyone who is willing to go further with this add-in driving hypnosis for anxious drivers. Which can be found on RUclips. With the combination of the 2, I passed my test. Good luck to anyone watching this I believe in you.
Congratulations on passing your test!!
Thank you. It helped me a lot while driving…
You're welcome!
I am starting my journey now ,enxiety is not my portion . I enjoy driving and I am a mindful driver . I believe in myself
I find joy n peace while driving
I know driving I enjoy driving I know driving I enjoy driving I know driving I enjoy driving I know driving I enjoy driving I know driving I enjoy driving I know driving I enjoy driving I love driving
This video always helps me
This is helpful I’ll def play this whenever I am driving
I'm so glad you're going to try it out!
I’m 19 and got my license when I was 18 (most people in the US get it at 16 and their permit at 15). Besides my driving lessons a couple years ago or so, I’ve only been on the road a handful of times.
This vid really helped me get over my driving anxiety! Thank you ❤️
I'm so happy for you
This is honestly so awesome it was just speaking to even puts a smile on my face truly appreciate thanks alot am a new driver and each am to drive anxiety takes over even when I try to be confident I decided to speak to myself that I can and will do this then seeing this just encourages more
I am so pleased this video connected with you! Those positive words will really help you feel more confident.

Was curious to see if there is any video to help to be peaceful before driving ( new driver here too) , really like this video. Will you make another video, for relaxing after full day’s job and be calm again? As I found recent driving was kind of in a rush… ( forgot to turn light on in evening, scratch car in a parking lot because of carelessness)… as if I’m doing worse than before getting license.. I do find inner peace ☮️ is the key for me to behave better in driving…
Glad you liked this ... mindful driving can be a hard one to master. I like the idea of a calm down after work meditation. We could all use some decompressing after a full day. I'll add it to my list.
@@GenerationCalm looking forward to see the video :)
Thank you for making this video. It really helps me. ❤
I passed and bought a car now I'm afraid to drive it...
Yes they do thank you
thanks so much for this. I listen to this before and begining of my drive and I feel a lot calmer.
You're very welcome, I'm so glad it helps you feel calmer for the drive
Just what I need, thank you! ♥
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I will try to say myself every day these confirmations ❤️
You are so welcome ... and I'm glad you're going to try these affirmations out
Very helpful ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
I love ypur voice. ❤
THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤
This was great. Thank you! ❤❤
Thanks alot🙏
Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves we can do it
I don't understand why I have gotten so anxious over driving. When I drive with others I feel fine and I drive confidently. But having to drive to work somehow makes me feel sick to my stomach. I drove to work all last week but each night I could not sleep and I felt like puking. I have work today and just don't understand why I feel this way.
Sometimes a fear can seem to come out of nowhere, but it's normally during a time of stress. Have a look at what's going on for you right now, and whether there's anything stressing you out that you're not paying attention to. It could be negative stress, like not being able to pay bills, or something positive, like getting married.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing this...I will listen this daily ❤
Wonderful! You can do this!
Thank you ♥️
You’re very welcome 😊
I have been driving for 35 years and recently I have been having trouble when I am driving. I feel that when I am driving that someone is going to come out of a side road and go into my car and I get nervous so I am driving slower and it feels like the car is moving faster than it actually is. I need to know why I am driving like this and how I can drive as I used to and not hover over the clutch pedal and think that I am going to have an accident. I would like some advice please
Peaceful,Helpful video 👍
Glad you liked it, thank you 😀
❤❤❤
Hi thank you so much for this it help me so much 🥰🥰🥰

My driving gets netter everyday
I find joy and peace in my car
I treat each car trip with confidence and ease
Because I drive new opportunities open for me
When I fe stressed I can slow down my breath
I care what I think not what other drivers think of me
I am learning to drive more confidently
I can cope with whatever situations come my way
I am a sage driver
I believe in my ability to learn new skills
I release my anxiety to created space for joy
I am ready to explore my woorld
I enjoy driving
I drive with a peaceful mind
I am a mindful driver
I am allowed to make mistakes
I am an alert driver
Thanks this was helpful
Fantastic, I'm glad it helped
I am fine when I drive with other people but nervous to drive alone. I can do it but I'm very nervous and sometimes talk myself out of driving even though I know I need the practice. I have my license. I get nervous mostly when I'm not familiar with where I'm going. Any thoughts? Thank you
You can do this, devise a step-by-step plan going from least scary driving situation to scariest and start very slowly starting to drive alone. Make it very gradual, evaluating your comfort levels after every trip out. Small increments are best if you’re very anxious. But the more you start driving alone, the easier it will become.
@@GenerationCalm I have been gradually increasing the distance I drive alone and am slowly becoming less nervous. Thank you very much
Does this subliminal work for two wheelers
I literally ask God to help me!
protect man and children
I am deaf.. lm have license (L) card . I am 44 years olds. Man hearing help me teach only Monday (1) Bit understanding.. not all. Im worried and upset I’m bit hard how to park and freeways road cross traffic.. I love driving enjoy. I want pass green P Need help..
It's never too late to start learning. It's just going to take time. Finding an instructor who you can communicate with and feel comfortable with will be key. But learning the skills will take time, so it's normal that it feels difficult right now, it's just part of the process. You got this!

😭 by the way i love your videos, keep making great contents!
Good luck - I'm sure everything will go well (I'll keep you in my thoughts). Thank you so much for your support.
It’s been my second day doing this and I already feel much better. I also watched your other videos on driving anxiety.
This is such a very nice video for my driving affirmations to get me motivated and have my confidence to drive. You're such a great adviser. You gave me courage to keep on going to learn more in my driving since I am just a new driver when I pass my driving test I have mix feelings of anxiety driving a car for the first time. When I listen to your video it helps me so much to stay positive that I can do it! I can drive! Thank you very much for sharing this video 👍❤️
I'm so pleased for you .... keep going!
Thank you. This helped relax me about the idea of driving again. I want to experience the world and I will. I'll check back in when I pass my test to get my license. I'll probably write these down and come back to the video everyday until then.
Fantastic, you can do this!
Superbbb

Thank you so much, really helpful. It's like you know exactly what I go through!!!
I'm glad you're finding it helpful. And it might seem like I'm a mind-reader, but both my Mum and my best friend are anxious about driving so I see it first-hand. I hope you find an affirmation that applies to you and your situation.
I absolutely love this !!! It helps so much . Thank you
I get so wound up when I drive due to road rage, I'm going to try this 🤞
After failing my first road test I am gonna take a 2nd one next week... I literally feel so anxious and pressured. Please pray for me that I will pass. I can’t wait to finally close this chapter :(🤍
You got this!
@@GenerationCalm I passed!!!
