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.
