Just so I don't Forget

An exercise we did in program today was called just so I don't forget and it gave us a list of fill in the blank type things.  I thought it would be a great exercise to share here, and I included my answers.  Feel free to do this on your own, it is very helpful when things seem bleak or you are struggling with a particular situation.

JUST SO I DON'T FORGET:

I AM ABLE TO: 

take care of my cat

write this blog to make a difference

maintain relationships

LOVE

I HAVE LEARNED:

all humans have emotions and they are normal

I AM PROUD:

that i have the strength to keep attending my program

that I am able to talk about my life with others

that I can change's people's lives through my interactions

I AM CONFIDANT THAT:

it is helping

that there will be better days

I will have a successful career, social life, family

I KNOW:

there will be setbacks, but that is ok

there are people on my side

I NOW UNDERSTAND:

what my brain is doing to my body

that I have been experiencing these feelings for a long time

it's no body's fault

I CAN:

change my behavior to live a healthier life

continue to make progress

I BELIEVE:

I am learning from this

I will climb mountains (figuratively and literally)

I TRUST:

God is leading me through

I ADEQUATELY:

communicate my feeling to others

make it through the day

I ACCEPT:

that there are some things I can not change

my life will be different, but possibly better
