I am not sure if a thread like this has been started, I typed in today tell myself in the search and did not see something that I was thinking about..

What I was thinking about was perhaps, some day or days; to remind ourselves with good positive things to tell ourselves...

For Instants (for me today):

Today I will tell myself that I do make a difference but my difference may be small, and not change the world, but my difference may improve my world.


Anyone else want to join with this?

Be well all!

Alright, I'll give it a try,

Today I will tell myself that I can let my interests and passions and thoughts flow out of my being or onto the next thought or passion or interest unimpeded by selfishness and fear.

Today I will tell myself that I can continue to learn, pay attention to my reactions and instead of self blaming, grow. I will remind myself that each time I struggle, try to remain calm and still and pay attention to what is taking place that is upsetting me or causing my anxiety to kick in.

Today I will tell myself to keep trying, cut myself some slack, and be patient.

Today I will tell myself, it is ok to be upset and tired. Ok, so I had to take a pill that I was trying to walk away from. It is ok if I fell backwards and yes, if I am exhausted, it is ok to take a nap too.

Today,..... I will tell myself it is ok--- It is ok that others don't really think... and it is ok... People are just different and you would had done more investigation rather than just breaking rules.... but I will continue to tell myself it is ok...

I may write up a rant though, but if I do-- that is the end of it-- let it go and just be.

*** Good thread! ****

Today I will tell myself that I can actually seek an answer to a difficult question without causing myself harm, but to not do so will cause more harm by avoiding; that no matter the answer, I can face whatever comes my way with strength and courage.

that things have worked out in the past that I didn't think would, and that will probably happen again, and again - if I just keep moving ahead.

Today I will tell myself that someone cares even if I don't always see someone that does. I will also tell myself that I am a smart girl that has worked hard and I can do anything I set my mind to

Today I will tell myself forgiveness is not reconciliation. Forgiveness is about the victims health and well being with freedom to move on. Reconciliation is another train

Now that I know better I will can do better (|With apologies to Maya Angelou for the paraphrasing)

If I can do those small babysteps I will be happy

Today I will tell myself, it is ok that I did not get to do what I wanted; and not to see signs in things that have nothing to do with it but some how I connect it all together... Will try best to keep chin up, head on straight, and plan for another day... Just because it did not happen today does not mean things are falling apart

I am telling myself 2 big things today

1) I will tell myself to drink more water today, and hopefully follow that with days to come

2) I will tell myself to stop whining about things that I simi change or can do (i am sorry if that sound harsh but, eh)--- (and in result I have a dr appt for my chest "cold" which I think is not a cold any more)
