Our Favorite Affirmations

in my choctaw language (chahta anumpa) - it is, "himak nittak a kvna yukpvchi la chi"
this translates to: today i will make someone smile
Can’t say if I could I would, have to gravitate towards if I can I will.
“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.”
If you don’t like how things are, change it, you are not a tree, a tree is rooted to the ground, we can run, drive, fly and travel, must remind myself this, constantly to ebb closer to fulfilling big goals, stop majoring in minor things, it’s to major in major things.
speak it believe it receive it.
How long should you try? Until.

@SoulfullyAButterfly my emotions are valid, and I shall not be overpowered by depression and anxiety
My affirmation I keep repeating in my head is "You got this! Don't give up! You have already made it this far. Keep going!"
@SoulfullyAButterfly
It's ok not to be perfect. / My illness does not define me, my strength and courage define me. / Being sensitive does not make me weak. / I can't live a positive life with negative thoughts holding me back. / It's ok to ask for help.
Today I found that visualizing myself in a warm, comforting bath or orange liquid, just floating peacefully, then saying (either to myself or out loud) “I deserve to be nourished and nurtured. I’m open to and deserving of being helped. I’ve relaxed my whole body inside and out.” or something like that really helped me today.
well. That and about three hours of guided meditations and affirmations from YouTube. It’s been a jOuRnEy.

I am allowed to feel what I am feeling right now. Doesnt matter if its making me inefficient or slow for a while.
My mind is more important that ticking off tasks.
@Bumblebeee23
cool one, I agree, we have to stay in our zone of thought, any unnecessary things is nonessential.
must focus.
It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.”
- Marcus Aurelius
@Simpleman123 glad we share the same thoughts and that quote is amazing, love it!💕
@Bumblebeee23
absolutely…
Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
Ecclesiastes 7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Ecclesiastes 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
These help me a lot. Although one shouldnt always be sorrowful…
We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression
- Confucius
