Do you have a favorite author of affirmations that you like? I use to post index cards with a saying to the mirror, coffee machine, front door, refrigerator about how i was a person of value, i mattered. and other such affirmations that i heard that meant something positive to me. it can be words of your therapist, of a minister, a sacred book, a poet or author. And i would hold onto those words and they helped my mind dwell on the present, it kept me grounded. I hope these ideas help, tc
