I've been living with myself my whole life.
I've been living with my thoughts,
My movements,
My drives.
I have my motivations,
My insecurities,
And my impulses.
I've tackled a lot.
Hurt,
Disappointment,
Loss,
Rage,
Grief,
Sadness,
Confusion,
Doubt,
Powerlessness.
I have survived many storms,
And I've overcome more fears than I realize.
I've restored hope and trust and belief.
I have climbed.
I have sunk.
I have come back again.
I am more comfortable with myself now.
I am more honest with myself.
I am real with who I am.
I've been through a lot of ups and downs.
Afraid of feelings.
Overwhelmed with feelings.
Running away from feelings.
I'm good now,
As I befriend myself.
I'm at a place where I can talk openly and honestly with myself.
I befriend me,
And I offer support,
Help,
And unconditional love for myself.
I befriend me,
And I keep learning more about me and accepting me.
I am befriending me.
I am giving myself love and support.
I am treating myself with great worth and high priority.
I am loved,
And I love myself.
I am a friend to myself.
I befriend me in the good times.
I befriend me in the dark times.
I befriend me in the boring times.
I treat myself with so much love,
Kindness,
And compassion.
My words,
Actions,
And decisions are affirming.
I am validating myself.
I am encouraging myself.
I am treasuring myself.
As I befriend me,
I forgive myself.
As I befriend me,
I hug myself.
As I befriend me,
I accept myself.
I befriend myself with encouraging,
Supportive,
And affirming messages.
I befriend myself with helpful,
Useful,
And meaningful actions.
I befriend myself with firm,
Clear,
And strong boundaries.
I have learned to laugh with joy.
I have learned to listen with compassion.
I have learned to rest with peace of mind.
I am befriending myself more in this season of my life.
I am taking my time to listen,
To look,
And to choose.
I am growing deeper and deeper in love and appreciation for myself.
I am discovering a deeper comfort with myself.
I am reaching a deeper acceptance of my journey so far.
I love me,
And I befriend me.
Today and every day,
I befriend me.
