AFFIRMATIONS:   
(Say these out loud or to
yourself several times
throughout the day).

I am worthy.

Love is without conditions.  It is
respectful, mindful and sees all
of life as sacred and acts in
accordance.

I trust what I think.  I do not
define myself by what others
think.  My self worth and value
is intrinsic and not able to be
altered.

I get things accomplished in a
timely manner.  

I continue to learn.

I respect myself.  
I wander, seemingly no where... but I am not lost.
I know exactly where I am.
This may not be where I want to be.
but it does not matter.
its where I'm trying to go.

I wonder, seemingly about nothing... but I am not mindless.
I know exactly what is going on.
I know exactly who I am.
This may not be who I want to be.
but it does not matter.
Its how I'm trying to grow.

I slouch, seemingly with a great burden, but I do not carry the world
I carry the weight of my sins
I may not be as clean as I want to be
but it does not matter
I know I reap what I sew

I stand, seemingly with great pride, but I am not vain
I am just sure of myself
I do not need your approval
and you do not matter
You're just blocking my flow

I cry, these tears of frustration, but I do not give up
This life tries to break me
but it does not matter
I'm learning, now I know

I smile, the joy reaches my eyes, and it is not a mask
I have people who love me
and I, in turn, love myself
so you do not matter
you cannot make me feel low

I stop, I look at the world, and my heart breaks
for it saddens me to see it like this
but it does not matter
there are still sights that make me say "woah"

I live, my family by me, I couldn't ask for anything better
They inspire me to be the best me
be the best example for my babies
but they DO matter
They've taught me not to be a docile doe

I love, unconditionally, and sometimes people take advantage of me
and it makes me jaded
but they do not matter
I will not linger in my woe

I achieve, accomplish goals, chase dreams
but sometimes I fall, fail, struggle
sometimes I get angry
but none of that will matter
once I stop being my own greatest foe

I need, just like everyone else, but I am not dependent
I have wants, cravings, primal desires
but they do not matter
sometimes we just have to let them go

And all of these complexities exist within us all
Day by day we walk the paths shaped like roller coasters
left, right, up, down, loop-de-loop
and they do matter
its us just trying to grow
