"I really am beautiful." (As I admire my face and long hair in the mirror.)
"All that I'm going through and I still haven't turned to drugs or alcohol to mask the pain. I'm mentally strong (in that sense) and no one can tell me otherwise."
"Even through my pain and loss, I can still give a piece of me to help others."
"I deserve to be happy."
"I love you, Desiree." ❤️
@YourCaringConfidant
I love this self-talk! 👍
@amiablePeace77
I don't really do affirmations but I do have a bad habit of convincing myself, I need to be perfect and feel guilty if I ever think of myself first! 💚
@Amanda84 Girl, you're 👸🐷... you better think of yourself! Don't you know how wonderful, sweet, and important of a person you are? 💖
@YourCaringConfidant
Thank you, I just do so much for others, feels strange when I need to prioritize me 🩷
I totally understand. I أسد to feel the same but had to do something about it. It was a wake up call when I finally reached a point when I had no where one around me to even consider just asking “ how I’m doing? or “ if there is anything to do to help?” I actually did not want the help as much as it was them just asking. I felt abandoned in many ways. Now I prioritize my peace and myself. I do still offer to help and support only after assessing the situation. By default was my “by default” attempts. It doesn’t matter if they notice or not, as long as I do know I’m feeling good about it. Try with the small things and it gets easier with time. Conversations when your advice needed is often a trap to actually do help or do something about it.
Amanda you are an amazing person but that “them first” will drain you eventually. Please please take care of your beautiful soul and protect it by all means. We only live once love 😘
@LadyInSilence
Ah thank you 🩷

Everyone has a basic desire to be happy even if some of the people I interact with are choosing a path to misery. Does that not call for compassion?
@soulsings
I find it hard to see people choose the way of misery when there are so many good things in life to enjoy.
@amiablePeace77
It used to be self-esteem, I think. Self-affirmation is a positive way to verbalize it.
It is a delicate topic. Some people base their self-esteem on their ability to harm other people, or seek revenge. Others might lay their self-esteem on being able to serve other people's interests while harming their own. Bad losers come into mind as well.
It is a good subject to talk about with growing children, especially in the context of bullying or perceived bullying, actually.
@Fradiga
I agree with you Fradiga, a good topic to talk about with growing children. The youth needs our attention and support.
