Today I will tell myself

not to panic. I still have a little more time and as long as a mindfully focus, I can hopefully make the most of it.

I will not feel total, sheer panic (and terror) whenever a wasp, hornet or yellow jacket comes near ...

Yeah, I'll tell myself that ... But ...

That innocent little toddler ...

Frozen in time inside me ...

Still wants to run like hell to get away from all those stingers ...

that I don't have the pressures of being a student now, but I remember when I did, and it was real hard sometimes, and I feel for those who have that pressure now.

that I will do what I can today, putting my best foot forward and that no matter what critical thoughts nag at me, it will be enough.

I will continue to work on speaking up for myself

... I can if I dare.

I shall tell myself not to fear dentists. But when, I don't know.

Today I will tell myself, it is all ok, try not to over react with things, and that- well to be blunt, things could be a lot worse.

9 hours, but one mile at a time, I can do this.

I will experience less anxiety in public as I get out of the house more.

... if all else fails, I have run out of options.

.........."multi-tasking" used to be my forte; I must make it my forte for today.

Trying to be perfect is a self defeating behavior, nobody is perfect. Some people who are consumed with perfectivity will choose to do nothing if it can't be done perfectly. This can lead to a downward spiral. Upkeep with what you can do today!
The feelings of having to be perfect is from childhood/abusive people in your life today, they are wrong.
Actually nothing in this world is perfect. So why burden yourself with such an unatainable task, instead concentrate on what you can do. You can dust your the floor all day and when you wake in the morning surely there will be more dust. Nothing that is made by man is perfect: concepts of mind/building a bridge ect.. they will always always need maintenance.
Be kind and compassioiate with yourself the way you are today!

Today I will tell myself to be kinder to me when I make a mistake.

Self I say, "go sew your new ironing board cover". Since I took the old one off, and took out all the seams to use for a pattern, I must finish it tonight so I can iron a shirt for the hubby for work in the morning.

Today I will tell myself that the dress IS ugly, it's NOT the one in the picture, and I WILL get my money back.

Today I will tell myself- and have told myself- Just worry about me at work- i have done pretty well with that- I had enough on the plate anyways than to go around trying to get everything that was missed these few days I have been gone.. I just stuck my nose into one thing, which in reality needs to be addressed (I am trying to save a person from being fired in the future and if it did happen- More umf to shut down our branch).... So yeah.. Just worry about me.. and i have done well with that i think at least

Thanks HappieDaisy-- I know - I put myself through hell just to come out with the out come with saying- Nothing is perfect and I am yet human... I continue to do things, just sometimes strive too much for the perfection which just drains me in the end.. I am learning as I get older, to stop- it is ok not to be perfect, and I will never achieve it any ways right for I am just human

... Lone Ranger had Tonto.

The world may be swarmed with demons, but there is goodness some where, even if it is with in myself - even if it is just a little.

Today I will tell myself to calm down and breathe and to stop looking for mistakes to make. I have to calm my worries.

Today I will tell myself that it's going to be OK. I will remind myself that I have so many things to be thankfull for.

At this moment, I am taking the correct path in my life toward happiness.

That I can enjoy some ice cream tonight if I get going and do some housework.

... to remember to hug my mother for always being there for me. Love you, mum

To balance priorities today of the "want to do's" versus the really "should do's", remembering the consequences if I put off the should's any longer. I have to stop procrastinating; I can do this.
