I love it when things just come to me. It’s like my mind and heart have had the chance to process, percolate and peace-ify, so that thoughts just come. YAY!
Several years ago I got three of my favorite affirmations that way.
- It may (or may not) be true
- I may be able to handle this
- It may be good enough
Qualifications for each one of them, because, sometimes it seems like an absolute affirmation is too hard to swallow.
- It may (or may not) be true: When someone pays you a compliment, it’s easy to dismiss it out of hand, forthright. But maybe, just maybe, it’s true. Likewise, when someone insults you, maybe what they say is not true.
- This one’s just hoping the best for oneself and
- This one’s learning to be content with what one has.
These affirmations came as a package, bundled together—all pretty and ready for wear. Nice.
The latest one that occurred to me, thanks to a conversation I was having with my psychiatrist is: “Life takes finesse”! Amen to that. Amen.
