The following ideas have helped me.
- I’m taking care of business: mine not yours.
- What can I occupy myself with that is different from the the thing with which I am obsessing.
- The quality of my problems is improving.
- If I can not comfortably say no, it is not a relationship.
- Do I give myself away so that people will like me?
- Some new what ifs: What if I trust? What if I rest? What if I give up worry?
- I am finally getting it. The only person with the ability to meet my needs is me.
- Sometimes the love at a meeting rolls over me like the surf. It comes to me in waves, over and over and over again.
- I most likely have the very thing I most deeply long to have. I just need eyes to see it, ears to hear it, a nose to catch it’s fragrance, and nerve endings to feel it’s caress.
- A necessary life skill I need to prosper: Living with pain in a way I can learn from it.
