Positive Affirmations

When negative thoughts and depression grips me I find it helpful to read my affirmation sheet, which I have hanging in my bedroom to help remind me all is ok.  After spending the past 7 months recovering from Ross River Fever, I have often felt frustrated that I don’t have the energy each day to do all the things I used to be able to get through.  I am slowly getting better and hopefully will return to my normal healthy self soon. 

Here are some of my affirmations that I’ve found helpful during this time:

• I will get better in the next few months
• I’m able to rest and not overload my day
• I do enough – I am enough
• I am living just for today
• I will not push myself beyond my current energy level
• I am committed to getting well
• I am looking after myself
• This too shall pass
• I am going to recover
• I am a good parent
• I can think positively
• I can let others help me
• I can ask for help
• I am grateful for friendships
• I am taking care of myself physically, spiritually and emotionally
• I don’t need others approval
• I have a relationship with my God
• I don’t need to feel guilty
• I can treat myself well
• I can do one day at a time
• I don’t have to achieve everyday
• I can rest and recuperate
