[Start ID: A collection of 15 DBT strengthening affirmations. They read as follows:
1. What's the worst that can happen? And based on my experience, and not on my emotions, how likely is that to happen?
2. Feelings are sometimes painful, but are time-limited.
3. It will get easier each time I practice.
4. My success is measured by taking skillful action, not whether I was anxious when I did it.
5. I'm not going to let a lapse get in my way. I'm going to continue making progress towards my goal.
6. Feeling I can't do it is not the same as not being able to do it. Stick to the plan.
7. Good job-- I'm staying in the situation, even though it's hard.
9. It's a sign of strength to ask for help in an effective way.
10. Knowing when to ask for coaching is a skill in itself.
11. I am a unique person, and I have unique reactions. Only I can determine how I should feel in any given situation.
12. My feelings are not right or wrong, they just simply are.
13. A feeling of uncertainty is not the same as the truth.
14. My painful emotions happen for a reason and are an important source of information and direction for me.
15. Urges are a natural part of being human. Having an urge (even a strong urge) does not mean that I have to do anything at all. /End ID]
