Just some stuff that I am working on

a common misconception about me growing up was that i didn’t care what other people thought about me. it is possible i cared a little less than most people. it’s also true that i was unwilling to change myself to be liked. but i did want to be liked. that’s part of what it is to be human—wanting to be liked for who you are.

Reparenting Affirmations for an Inner Child

I am so glad you were born.

You are a good person.

I love who you are and am doing my best to always be on your side.

You can come to me whenever you’re feeling hurt or bad.

You do not have to be perfect to get my love and protection.

All of your feelings are okay with me.

I am always glad to see you.

It is okay for you to be angry and I won’t let you hurt yourself or others when you are.

You can make mistakes - they are your teachers.

You can know what you need and ask for help.

You can have your own preferences and tastes.

You are a delight to my eyes.

You can choose your own values.

You can pick your own friends, and you don’t have to like everyone.

You can sometimes feel confused and ambivalent, and not know all the answers.

I am very proud of you.

I am loved. I am divine. I am growing as a person. I am beautiful. I am magical. I am going to open up more. I am going to make progress in my personal relationships. I am going to succeed at my job. I am going to be more clear minded. I am going to speak up about my feelings. I am going to sing more. I am going to dance more. I am going to create more art. I am going to be clear about emotions and intentions. I am in charge of my mood. I am the setter for the tone. I am powerful. I am going to remember that not everything is linear. I am going to be okay.

You will "earn" it in time no worries. For now just enjoy it!
