Challenge — Family Throw Down!

Once a day, post your own positive “I” statement that you will mindfully reflect on throughout your day.

To build our family, I further challenge you to share and/or comment constructively on posts made by others.

I’ll go first. Here’s my “I” statement for today:

I am lovable.

I have forgiven myself for my mistakes in the past and I am a better person now. I will continue to be the best person I can be and do what I can to bring out the best in others.

That is beautiful, zachira. Thank you for sharing this. It’s an important reminder that taking care of ourselves to be our best selves actually helps bring out the best in others.

Challenge is right.  It is much harder to cheat with google on this one. 

I am valuable.

Stole that one but still... .it packs a punch doesn't it?

When I posted earlier, I had a really hard time writing what I wrote.  It was even harder to post it.

Yes! That one certainly does pack a wallop.

I wanted to respond right away after your initial post because I recognized the strength and courage it took for you to make it, but someone recently told me to staaaahp it and I have been trying to honor that request.   You are so very valuable, Harri. You’ve made a huge difference in my life.

When I talk about my relatives with BPD, I will use more I statements and talk about how I feel than he/she statements which puts the focus on him/her.

It’s OK to feel scared, I can still do this if I choose to.

L2T, I really like this.  Not only accepting your feelings but giving yourself the power to choose.  Nice!
