I’m writing this post after spending two weeks in my bed with all kinds of typical flu symptoms that made me feel miserable. Below you’ll find a bunch of positive healing affirmations for a cold that helped me keep myself mentally in a good place during this time.
I’m not sure whether it was a cold, the flu, or some new kind of seasonal virus, and it doesn’t really matter.
Even if it’s a common cold, there is still a virus attacking your body and making you feel weak. When your daily routine is wrecked like this, when you are not able to do simple tasks you always do, and all you can do is lie down in bed and drink ginger lemon tea, it has a negative effect on your mental health.
If you are feeling frustrated with all the symptoms and the weakness, and simply the thought of spending one more unproductive day in bed makes you nauseous, these positive affirmations for cold and flu will help you heal and recover faster. They will also shift your focus to positive thoughts, reignite your self-belief and reiterate to your subconscious the idea of how strong and powerful your body is.
I believe that our bodies have self-healing abilities and can defeat any disease with the right mindset and consistent inner guidance. But you have to pull yourself out of self-pity and channel loving energy into your body instead. Positive affirmations have the power to take your mind off unpleasant flu symptoms, accept the situation and focus on healing.
Let yourself rest as much as you need and be grateful to every part of your organism that functions well and keeps you alive. You can even give mental thanks to your cells for all the hard work they are doing now to protect you from the attack and make you feel better.
With that said, let’s get rid of that stupid virus ASAP, shall we?
Spiritual meaning of having a cold
Even though technically it’s a viral infection, you coming down with a cold often means that your body is trying to tell you something. Maybe you have too much going on and need to let yourself rest. Or your stress levels are over the top and there are not enough resources for your body to fight.
You are being exposed to viruses and harmful bacteria all the time, and usually, your immunity is on guard and protects you from all that. If you catch a cold, it means that your internal security system got weakened and you must do something to build it back to strong again.
Oftentimes a cold appears when you have suppressed some of your emotions for too long and your body can’t handle it anymore. Both runny nose and blocked nose can indicate a mental blockage. Let it all out, and allow yourself time for mindfulness and self-care.
Your body is trying to communicate with you in the only way that’s accessible to it. So try to stop putting too much pressure on yourself and listen to your body.
Sacrificing your health for the sake of work or some achievement is never worth it in the long run. Never!
So take enough time off for your body to recover and be kind to yourself in the meantime.
Here are positive affirmations that will support your healing.

So glad to have found your website. Struggling to shake off a flu, I know it’s all emotional congestion and lack of self care… and it will pass. How does one identify the emotional congestion or is it even necessary? I know it’s around my mother???? I have journaled meditated and still can’t shake her????
Hi Zaria, I hope you get well soon!
Keep journaling and maybe do specific guided meditations on relationships (lots of good ones on Youtube).
Your current emotional state has been building for many years so it might take more than a few days to deal with it. Stay positive and stick to your affirmations! I also recommend reading a book “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay, which talks in detail about different illnesses and how to address them from inside.
