skit skitt skittles: random affirmation

Sorry about the weird format I can't fix it right now. Anyway the affirmation. I think it's really easy for me to jump to judge me and must be angry after I interpret someone's actions but if I try to come at them with understanding it makes it harder for me to be angry. I think there's compassion and trying to understand another person's point of view

random affirmation

Today's random is: I seek a new way of thinking about this situation.

This is something I actively do already. I talk to my friends about different situations I'm in so I can get different perspectives from mine. I want to know other ways of thinking about it so I can one make sure my emotions are inline with what is happening or could be happing. Two figure out how to react. There's often there's often 100 different ways to look at a situation I want to know the most likely ones and operate on those assumptions. Also getting outside perspectives often reveal new information that I didn't see at first so it's very helpful.

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: I am more than good enough and I get better every day.

Being good enough is enough. I have to remind myself I am enough. I am just the right amount of me for right now and that is enough. Having flaws and past mistakes does not disqualify me from being good enough. I am good enough. That is all.

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: I surround myself with people who treat me well.

This is on purpose. Everyone in my life is there because I enjoy them or they provide a resource. But everyone in both of those categories must abide by a two rules.

•treat me well

•don't betray my trust

That's all. I put a lot of work into my friendships and I pride myself on being a good friend. I'm not going to do that for people who treat me like shit.

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: I choose to find hopeful and optimistic ways to look at the situation.

I tend to catastrophize a lot but also find joy and hope at the same time. I worried that the Trump presidency would be a disaster. But I also thought that it would bring together marginalized communities. I also thoroughly enjoyed mocking him. And at the end of the day I'm that bitch and will always be that bitch.

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: I let go of my anger so I can see clearly.

I think this one is important to me. I tend to have a temper and an very reactionary. Out of anger I will say things that I mean but in a very hurtful manner. When I could say the same thing at a more appropriate time and nicely. Like saying "your to old for plushies and your just grasping at youth you wasted running in a rat race your not even close to winning. losing more time every day by procrastinating your life away because moving on is to uncomfortable for you." When I could say "have you considered why you hold your plushies so dearly? There may not be a way relive the past but there are still things you can do and experience that won't let you to miss out on the present either." By waiting and letting the anger past I can think clearly about what my priorities are, what I am trying to accomplish, what I need, how I am going to get what I want to accomplish and need, and what to say. When I am not angry I remember how much I care about the other person and why. When I'm not angry I can see a path to winning the fight in a way that cost me the least. I will not let anger inhibit me from reaching my goal.

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: I accept everyone as they are and continue on with pursuing my dream.

If accepting means wanting everyone to be better than yes. I think it's suppose to mean I don't get caught up judging people and trying to make them something they aren't instead of staying in my own lane. Which I also do. I have already achieved this one.

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: I let go of worries that drain my energy.

Catastrophizing is something I'm good at. Like I would have a gold medal if it was an Olympic sport. Not that I would make it to the Olympics from worrying myself into a corner. It's hard to stop doing something that you excel at but sometimes you got to do it.

Today's random affirmation is: I fully approve of who I am, even as i get better.

I think this one is hard for me because I am very critical of myself. I recognize my flaws and have a long list of things and ways I can improve my self. I think I fully approve of my forward movement even when it's small, even when all I can do to be better is not to let myself get worse. I fully approve of always trying to better myself.

6/21/21

random affirmation

Today's random affirmation is: All my problems have answers.

They might all have answers but I don't always like the answer. That's the problem, me disagreeing with the correct, and often only answer. I don't like the answer so I chose to do the all the wrong things until I have no choice but to do the right answer. There's often an infinite amount of wrong answers for me to choose from so I can take my sweet time getting to the right answer.
