I really like the "Thoughts create reality," mantra a lot. Ive been talking to my therapist a lot about negative self talk and I think that this a really good one going into this week. I did chuckle with the one about "not remembering this in 20 years", because as a US girly I truly hope you are right about that one! I am hoping that my positive thoughts make that a reality!

“ Don’t trust how you feel first thing in the morning, or past 9pm.” might actually save me if I practice it

The 9 pm one is probably the thing that’s had the most positive impact on me in the last few years. now if i feel myself start to spiral I check the time. I’m going to adopt the early in the morning one too because I hate mornings so much, why should I be taking anything I’m thinking seriously then?

25 reminds me of how excited I am to meet those versions of myself, for better or for worse, it doesn’t matter. Because in the end I am my one and only true love. I’ve gotta cherish it all.

Collecting them in the same place is genius! I'll have to start a notebook for myself too! Thank you so much for sharing these 💌

I especially love, "A bird sitting in a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking - its trust is in its wings, not the branch." Remembering to trust in our own capabilities, our resilience and hard-earned wisdom when faced with a potential threat that is owned erwhelming and outside our control is a huge part of my personal philosophy- truthfully the i lyrics way I've mentally survived many phases of my life.

This particular metaphor is such a simple and beautiful portrayal of that. Now I want to get a bird in a tree tattoo! 🐦‍⬛
