I'm OK with Me Today

When talking to people I find many have a lack of confidence. Loss of a job, a relationship or home kills self-esteem. Check your attitude.

Focus on the haves and not the have nots. I was single for many years and unable to keep a girlfriend for very long. I was living at home and felt pathetic.

I was discounting important achievements. I had no debt and living at home to save money. No girlfriend but I had a strong support system of friends that would really listen, for hours if needed. I was in school. It's OK to be in progress. No one wants to date someone in the "I should have" mode, be moving forward.

Your homework, wake up everyday and write 5 achievements.
Examples: I have a job. I have an education. I have a place to live. I pay my bills.

Then write 3 affirmations 5 times. (idea pilfered from The Artists Way)
examples: I am strong. I am talented. I am a hard worker

Below are good articles with more affirmations.
Opportunities come to those who dare. As we risk taking the next right step, the Universe surprises us with its support.
