Today I will tell myself

Another day down, more to achieve tomorrow.

To enjoy the deserved rest, but prepare for more work tomorrow. I must not get lazy. Give myself another reason to feel deserving.

to stop being so dam over-sensitive

I can take some credit for going swimming yesterday and today. That is better than nothing.

To put one foot in front of the other.

Exceellent idea Fresia.

To just hang in there one more day ...

that I am more than my illness, so to try to work with the pain instead of succumbing to it.

Today I will tell myself it's Sunday.

... another increment of yourself is in process .... will I dance ... or sit it out again?

Nothing bad will happen if I leave the house.

Today I will tell myself to go outside for a little bit. The sun has finally come out.

that it is possible that I understand better what the meds are doing than the docs do. I must tell myself that I have the right to refuse medication that I believe is harming me.

to find a way to let the emotional energy flow forth in order to release it....not sure how to though.

today I will tell myself- yes it has been a hard few days or what not- but today is a start of a new week- there is still time of healing, but there is time for joyful moments as well.. To keep going, to keep trying and to keep being me as best as I can.

I have a right to refuse medication that I do not want.

Today I realized that tomorrow I need to do better. For myself and my family.

Today I will not allow needless worrying to control me and will try to practice relaxation tips.

Today I will tell myself that I am a worthwhile person....

Today I will tell myself- it is ok to feel like a fool- really it is - i have plenty to feel like a fool about- i talked too much when I feel stressed at times-. BUT do not beat myself up about it- I talked to much it is already done, just keep this a lesson as not to talk soo much in the future so you don't feel this way again.....

I feel over exposed and I am not sure how to take that right now-- so trying to be positive about it.

Today I will tell myself-it is ok to be sad- better than this empty feeling, and all this too shall pass.... But it is ok to feel happy to at times Gotta keep thinking that!

Tell myself that I am beautiful.

Today I will tell myself, that no matter what ...that he will continue to be apart of my life.......

today i will tell myself to not feel pressured or hopeless when i think of my future and the goals i want to accomplish. i forgot how to enjoy writing and being creative. it went from being fun to being work. i need to relax.

I love this post so much. Thank you all for your candor, and for your encouraging spirit!

I have three main thoughts for today:

-Today I will tell myself the attempts of other people to goad me and tear me down are not going to work. I have lots going for me, and they (with their strange need to do harm, caused by their self-involvement or personal pain, or whatever...) are not going to affect my mood or my self-esteem.

-Lately, I've had days of great clarity, and accomplishment, and I can have that again.

-I will not let the fear of being deprived, in any way shape or form, keep me from moving forward.
