Affirmations

It was suggested in therapy yesterday that I repeat some affirmations to myself in order to boost myself esteem and confidence so I can push myself through some of the situations that trigger anxiety or I try to avoid as much as possible.  She said to start with seemingly trivial things if I have to.

She gave me a sheet of some common ones and today at work I filled the back side of it with my own personalized ones.  I found myself wanting to qualify each one with a reason why, but I decided that part of this is not thinking into it too much and I decided to leave it as a simple statement.

I didn't think I'd fill the whole page.  And as silly as some of them may seem, I feel a lot better when I read over them and I think about that.  I had to write things that I can believe.

So without further ado, my affirmations:

  • I am confident that God oversees all and will provide for my every need.
  • I am a Child of God.
  • I am capable of praying whenever I want to.
