Positive Affirmation and Bathroom Mirrors

All of my feelings (sadness, guilt, emptiness, loneliness, anger, relief, irritability...] are all normal reactions to the losses I am experiencing.

I see a therapist for grief and loss. I have been seeing her for a little over a year. I would advise everyone to see a therapist. It has been life changing for me. 

Two weeks ago she had asked me to do a project. She asked that I write positive affirmations on my bathroom mirror. My bathroom mirror takes up a huge portion of my wall. It was the previous owner's decision to put it up. 

The one thing I do not need to see when I first wake up is "you are beautiful, you are amazing, you are AWESOME!" Because at my age, I am not beautiful. At 4 A.M. I am not amazing let alone awesome. That takes a while. plus at least two cups of tea

I got my comeuppance today. She said out of all the people she knew, she knew I would do this. I was quirky enough to try it.

Thanks to COVID and video chat she has seen my dining room wall with the two taxidermy bats.

She has given me so many great tools, so...

On my way home I stopped at my son's workplace and I borrowed a dry erase marker.


I think.... no I know the hardest sentence to believe is "I am enough." I will include that phrase in my morning meditation and prayers.

I plan to write my mantra on the mirror... It is big enough:

1. I am grateful

 

2. I feel beautiful, I am beautiful

 

3. I am proud of myself

 

4. I welcome all forms of positivity into my life

 

5. I am free to be myself

 

6. I am whole, healthy, and strong

 

7. I choose to radiate happiness and love

 

8. I have the power to create change

 

9. I am unique and confident

 

10. I choose to focus on the bright side of all situations

 

11. I am thankful for what my body can do

 

12. I treat myself with love and respect

 

13. I am deserving and worthy of all good things

 

14. I do not judge myself or others

 

15. I accept myself for who I am
