Affirmations about self

I am a writer. I am a good mom. I am a good person. I am doing better at understanding myself and taking care of myself. And sometimes I need to remind myself of a few things.

I am a writer.
I am a good mom.
I am a good person.
I am a role model.
I am a leader.
I am doing better at understanding myself and taking care of myself.
I am sometimes lonely.
I am often alone.
I am okay with who I am. Where I am. And what I am.
I have the power to change my circumstances if I really want to.
I have the power to make my own decisions and make my own path.
I am the person in control of my route.
I am the only person who can change me if I decide I need changing.
I am good enough.
I am better than good.
I am me.
And me is sometimes amazing.
Sometimes a mess.
But the goal is to
Always be me.
No matter what happens.
No matter who is in my way.
No matter what,
I am me.
And me is good.

Yes.
Sometimes I just need to remind myself of a few things. :) 😀

Strains and Breaks

Having a high threshold for pain
Can be a double edged sword.
Too patient,
Plus
Too ambivalent
Means staying In denial
for too long.
After a while the constant pain
doesn’t penetrate consciousness.
A dull never-ending throb
that becomes the norm.
As the break gets wider
and deeper.

Chess, anyone?

Two children playing
their version of chess
Bouncing horses,
Squealing and screaming
as pawns, rooks, bishops, kings, and queens
Leap and bump each other.
Cha, cha, cha, cha.
Sounds way more fun than
Real chess.
More spontaneous
And possibly more creative and satisfying.

Running Injuries Suck

Disappointed and tired.
Not a good combination.
More like a recipe
for personal disaster.
Hurt,
Wallowing,
Jealous,
Wanting to do what I can’t do,
Might wind up saying things
that can’t be taken back,
Guilt and regret
replace rationality and hope.
Knowing it’s a cycle
helps,
A little.
