i try to remember..

1. Everybody doesn't have to love me

-Not everybody has to love me or even like me.I don't necessarily like everybody I know,so why should everybody else like me?I enjoy being liked and being loved,but if somebody doesn't like me,I will still be okay.

2. It is okay to make mistakes

-Making mistakes is something we all do.There is no reason for me to get upset when I make a mistake.I will accept mistakes in my life and also mistakes that others make.

3. Other people are okay and I am okay

-They should not be punished just because I don't like what they do or did.There is no reason why other people should be the way I want them to be.They are who they are;we all deserve basic respect.

4. I am responsible for my day

-I am responsible for how I feel and what I do.Nobody can make me feel anything.If I have a rotten day,I am the one who allowed it to be that way.I am the one who is in charge of my life.

5. It is important to try

-I can.Even though I may be faced with difficult tasks,it is better to try than to avoid them.I might not be able to do anything,but I can do something.

6. I can change

-Every day is a new day.It's silly to think I can't help being the way I am.Of course I can.I can change.
