Today I will tell myself

...that I can find the courage to do things that scare me.

Today i tell my self no more apologies

I grew weary of apologizing
To the world
And to myself,
For myself.
My parents said,
"We never had any luck."
That apology.
He said,
"You have a nice face, it's too bad you're . . ."
That apology.
My children said,
"Mommy, why are you different?"
That apology.
I said,
"I'm a cripple."
That apology.
I declare now to hell with apologies!
I am God's own,
Life's own,
My own.
No apologies.

Today, I will tell myself...no more procrastination!! Get this apartment cleaned up!!

... whatever you do, that is what you have done.

TOday, I will tell myself not to feel guilty for the pain I feel. My body has gone througha lot of physical demands in my life, all due to my own choices...figure skating, rollerskating, hiking, marching, dancing, tons of walking, and climbing. Then, 30 years of working on my feet. It is only reasonable that my body would tell me enough is enough. I shall not feel shame for this.

I have done all that I need to for today; it is time to rest.

Get at least one thing done, even if it doesn't seem like a lot.

do something

Enough! MOVE ON!

I have this nagging doubt about my work and need to pay attention to why this is. I will tell myself it is better to acknowledge and address them than to ignore it and be plagued with continuing doubt. "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." -Franklin D. Roosevelt

to just calm down.

To remember to breathe and not overdo it.

To try not to think too much.

The rain did not hurt the rhubarb.

that I'm going to try NOT talking to myself.

.... that I am okay and not a failure for simple mistakes.

... I do not need to know how low I might limbo.

I'll feel better again soon.

I am feeling calmer now.An ativan is tempting

Today- I will tell myself, that maybe, just maybe, I am worth the chance.. Maybe to try to take that leap is what I need to do.

I will tell myself, that if he cannot or will not have a relationship with me that I am still a great person and that it has nothing to do with me!!!!!

That i have a lot to be grateful for I have the ability to laugh, I have a job that i fight to keep, I have my legs, my eye sight, a car, a family I want more than I already have but am grateful for what I have now and have been given.

that whatever comes my way, I can cope with it and will be able to manage, no matter how trying it is.

Today I will tell myself not to discuss mental health in the work place. People can become overly protective suddenly.

that the internal criticism is not helping as it's wearing me down, and that I need to practice more self compassion.
