Generic vs. yours

These ten are for everyone who feels sick. The app writes ten for you.

Log “Sick”, add a line about why, and FeelAI writes affirmations that mention what you actually said. With Memory, it also remembers your goals, your people and what helped last time, and tells you under each one why it was written for you.

Generic

“You are amazing. Today is your day.”

Premium · Sick · note: “long day, skipped lunch”

My only job today is to get better. The thing you mentioned this morning can wait until you have eaten.

Written for you because you said you skipped lunch again

FAQ

Questions about feeling sick

Are affirmations useful when I am ill?
They help with the mental side: guilt about resting, frustration at slowness, anxiety about what is missed. They are not a treatment for anything physical.
What are good affirmations for chronic illness?
"Healing takes the time it takes" and "I treat myself the way I would treat someone I love who was ill" are two that people living with long-term conditions save most often.
