I do the same teqnique but in a bit different way.I tell myself throughout the day "Thank you dear brain for keeping me sane after what all happened".I am thankful to my brain.I am grateful to my brain for all the hard work it does to keep me sane.These are the affirmations.I look in the mirror and call myself cute little baby names,talk to myself as if I am talking to a baby.Smile and coo at myself.Things like that.
