What affirmations do you tell yourself?
*
Defintion of affirmation:
(1. the action or process of affirming something.
"he nodded in affirmation"
2. emotional support or encouragement.
"the lack of one or both parents' affirmation leaves some children emotionally crippled") *
I wrote these affirmations below because I'd like to remind myself of these positive things and hopefully prevent or lessen the intensity of when I feel wretched about myself or life. I won't always agree with these affirmations that I wrote, but in a calm state of mind, they sound helpful and encouraging to me.

My affirmations:
I am passionate about living a good life. I am passionate about making the most of the most important things: Magic with my partner, Family, Learning, Friends, Bettering the world.
I am motivated to get things done.
I am motivated to organise and take control of what I can in my life.
I am part of something bigger than myself- I live in connection.
I love people and people love me.
I am adaptable and strong.
I am funny and playful.
I am friendly and warm.
I like to fix things.
I search to be appropriate in what I do and how I react.
I look backwards to make a better path forwards.
I improve and grow and change.
I am ready for the times that I am not ready and willing to accept that I may not accept ‘What is’.
I am life. I will die. Life is valuable with death.
I make the most of now while I can.
I breathe in and out.
I am holy.
I am the ‘I’ that experiences itself.

What has to come ? Will my heart grow numb ?

My biggest problem has always been getting started, moving forward, breaking past my comfort zone. So that first line of the Sith code is a reminder that time keeps ticking and death will eventually come to my door... And so it is a call to action, to seize the day and follow my bliss instead of clinging to the comfortable, to the known.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails.

"Until whichever comes first; A bullet or my salvation.
I will keep clinging to the last glimpse of that terrible illusion, hope..."
Despite being in that point where I saw no hope and had no wish to stay, I then thought:
"I'm still here."
"I can stay here for a longer while, I guess.."
And then I'd proceed to meditate as I always had done and just let my focus go and stay in the "now".
