I want to start a thread on what affirmations you use. I am trying to get back to using them.

When I did outpatient therapy, I was told to write a good quality about myself for every letter of the alphabet. I don't remember them all, but my favorite was X, xenophilic. I don't think it's a real word, but it's the opposite of xenophobic and to me it means loving people who are different from you.
Thanks for this!

I just revived my DBT Recite a Loving Kindness Statement thread for you in the depression forum.

It is too much to paste over here.

Skeezyks has started a good thread in self help too.
Thanks for this!

I don't tend to use affirmations, but I count my breaths...one (in), two (out).

Time, patience, and perseverance will accomplish all things.

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that crushed it.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I use and discard them as I go. Never using the same method twice... well in theory.

that’s funny!

Mine is: keep going, even if your a@@ falls off. Put it in a bag and take it with you.

If I'm on this side of the dirt, I'm doing good and have at least one thing to be thankful.

If you wind up being upside down you can always flip back, turtles do it all the time.

I don’t think I can post pictures on here but I recently made a cork board and started tacking up cute notes in a loud text for my recent goals/affirmations. I did not give them a time frame, but just seeing it gives me a drive and so far they have started to happen. I’m a bit surprised myself.
