This thread is a mindfulness practice designed to create love and compassion for ourselves. This is taken from DBT Connections youtube video, 7/23.
You recite a statement that is like a prayer, but instead of asking for something, we send warm wishes by reciting words that express goodwill. Repeat some of these statements, or make up your own. Feel these statements coming from your heart. Relax, take deep, slow breaths in, and out, breaths that expand your belly. Think about this loving kindness for yourself and expanding to all people and animals. Now make your loving kindness statements, or repeat after me or others that might have ones that resonate with you if anyone adds to this thread, type it out, and say it to yourself. ======== May I be safe and protected from danger. May I be healthy and strong. May I be happy and peaceful. May I have meaningful work. May I have a joyful life. May I accept and feel good about myself.

May I be safe and protected from danger. May I be healthy and strong. May I be happy and peaceful. May I have meaningful work. May I have a joyful life. === Oh I thought of another one—I’m going to go edit this into my original post: May I accept and feel good about myself. |

May I have a realistic, reasonable view of myself and of life's events.
May I acknowledge but then let go of negative thoughts and feelings. May I listen only to the supportive and helpful, and be deaf to the discouraging and destructive. May I know that I matter. |

May God's bless and keep you always,
May your wishes always come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young. (Bob Dylan/Forever Young) |

Ha! My therapist sent me a worksheet on how to recite loving kindness statements. I think I’m at the expert level now
 To her credit, I did ask for more DBT help, and she sent me others to look at. Last edited by Anonymous45390; Dec 02, 2017 at 11:17 PM. Reason: To remove autocorrect “kind badass statements,” which is pretty funny actually |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
