I will survive this day, without driving my people crazy.
asalem malecha!

I can control my reactions and emotions in every situation. I can push back the overwhelming anxiety that threatens to engulfs me and bask instead in the sunshine of personal serenity.

I give thanks that:
If I get side-tracked, I just start over!
I am starting over by allowing myself to walk through the feeling I am afraid to feel!
My choice is not to wallow in misery! Today is a new day … I am starting over!

I make mistakes, but I am not a mistake.

I can back up, begin again, and ask for help.

I am breathing through the hard times.

tad angry, tonight, yes???????

bring it on, bring it all the hell on - I am untouchable!!

affirmation to self:
tighten up, lay low, keep your mouth shut and suck it the fuck up


and eventually the screaming in your head will decrease



sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly - this too shall pass
(I think??)

Reminded now of something Bette Midler said in her movie:
The Rose
Here it is:
"Wake me up when the killing is over."

I regret my previous post ... sorry!

Working through something painful that I cannot make better, change and have no control over. Some anger is setting in. Seems like anger hurts less than the raw pain.

I'll get it worked out of me eventually.

I am a strong woman and a supportive mom. I make choices that are best for my family. Even when my children are upset with me it does not make those choices less right.

I will be joyous and positive throughout my day. I will find beauty in small things and happiness in simple moments.

“I possess an endless supply of creativity, energy and tolerance for any project that I assume.”

I will remember and acknowledge the joy in every breath and moment. I will smile for no reason and love without holding back. I will build for myself the life I want and draw only goodness into that space.

Always and All Ways
 

I can do anything, at any time, in any way I see fit. I am capable.

I am exactly where I am supposed to be right here, right now.
And so it is!

I know what my priorities are and I can stand up for my way of life. I am a good woman, mother, friend, and person in general. And those who are good for me see this too.

Today I will exude confidence and strength. I will see the good in the world and pull it into my life. I will show passion and grace and follow my path without doubt or hesitation.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of procrastination, negotiate at the table of fear, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't Give Up, Shut up, let up, until I've stayed up, stored up, prayed up, and paid up, and become the person that God intended me to be. What I think about, I bring about, look out and have no doubt, when I am committed that's when I stand out from mediocrity.
