The Little Things You Tell Yourself To Get You Through (A/The) Rough Spot - Page 3

clay · 02-13-2018, 02:53 PM

I usually tell myself, "this is only temporary" and "you CAN do this"...and my reserve is very strong so that I am able to get through rough patches.

Are these ever easy? Hell no! But they are usually fleeting, so makes these areas easier to get through.

Like Katniss said above, I think of how fortunate I am to have a safe space, have relatively good health, am loved by my chosen family...my circle is relatively small, but damn are they ever powerful...they help carry me through the rough areas...every.single.time!

keep smiling

Don't let others hurt you.

Hearing your Partner say they've got your back, and really knowing it to be true.

Not everything has to be fixed, perhaps you are just meant to feel it.

I can be highly sociopathic later. I don't have to do it all right now.

I've got a lot of my shoulders right now so this is what I'm saying:

"Yes, it's heavy and yes, it's a lot to carry but you are strong and loved beyond measure and powerful as fuck and the universe has your back...Now keep going."

My latest things I’m telling myself are: YOU GOT THIS! and I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!
