You can do it.
I've been writing in my journal a lot recently in an attempt to help with my relationship anxiety. Some nights are better than others. A couple of nights ago, I was working on combatting my anxious thoughts with some positive thinking and decided that I'd share part of what I wrote in my journal, because I think that a lot of us can probably relate.
My mind wants me to feel alone. But I am not alone. I am loved. And I am so many other things.
I am strong.
I am passionate.
I am caring.
I am emotional.
I am brave.
I am creative.
I am smart.
I am talented.
I am so many things.
My brain wants me to focus on the bad things, on what could go wrong. But I don't want to do that. I want to focus on the good things. I want to focus on what could go right.
The future is not some scary place where bad things wait for me. I create the future with my present. If I focus on the good things now, then good things will continue to happen. And if some unforeseen bad thing happens, I will get through it, as I always do.
Because I can.

this is fantastic! thank you for sharing! it's important to write down the positives when you're really feeling them because it gives you something good to reflect back on when you're not feeling so good. i hope you remember to look back at this when you're feeling down to remember what an amazing person you are!
