My Worth/What I Deserve
I was going to make 2 posts for this, but let's say it's 2 for the price of 1! I was very upset yesterday because my dh blindsided me with his anger. (Granted, I was not as compassionate with my words as I should have been, but 2 wrongs don't make a right.) Anyway, as a result I felt very invalidated as I often do with him.
Then it occurred to me this morning: I'm worth more than that! And I don't deserve that crap! So here are my new affirmations:
I am worth more than:
- being invalidated!
- someone else's reality
- someone else's problems
- guilt
- Rush Limbaugh (maybe not to Rush, but to me!)
- my son's grades
- others' accomplishments or lack thereof
- anger
- crap on the computer
- debt
- somone else's expectations
- ignorance
- others' opinions of me & my actions
This doesn't mean none of these things have any importance or that I can't care about any of them. But I am worth more!!
I deserve to:
- feel my own feelings
- think my own thoughts
- be responsible for my own actions
- reach my full potential
- live my own life
- take care of my own stuff
- feel safe
