Affirmations, Acceptance & Mental Health: Welcoming OurSELVES

Posted on July 19, 2015 Written by Allison Spitzer Leave a Comment

Sometimes we “look okay” and “feel pretty good.” Two days later we look “lousy” or “feel crummy.”  Five days later,  life turns out to be pretty “good.”  We even surprise ourselves when, fleetingly we truly view ourselves as absolutely  stellar.

We love, we hate, and sometimes, with our dearest ones, we do both at once. Socially, we make friends, lose them, sometimes leave them behind. Our lives–work, family, or health ebb and flow–sometimes chaotic and wrapping us in anxiety or smothering us in depression. A surprise visit, unexpected “good luck,” or a good workout seem to help us soar. Peaks and valleys.

Life is unpredictable; we behave badly, or oddly, or erratically–even from out own perspective.  We do things out of obligation. We put our own soothing or pleasure last. We don’t meet our own expectations. How could we ever live up to those?

What a great moment THIS is–in the midst of THIS day, to welcome our-SELVES, our ability to change, and make GREAT things happen. Do the affirmations below work for you?

Here are my affirmations for today.

What are yours?

    • I know goodness and joy.
    • I will surround myself with people who give and receive positive emotions, and gently shed those who cannot or don’t in my private life.
    • Nature heals me. Being outside EVERY day is breathing wellness.
    • I can find 30 minutes and check out(side) grandeur and  renew my-self.
    • When welcoming my obligations, I’ll think , too of my responsibility to myself–to be authentic, to act out of  compassion, and recognize that I can not meet everyone’s needs and expectations, but must try to meet my own. My calm center will radiate.
  • I am loved. I am a friend. I have good memories. I can make changes. I have hope.
