I have a few saved into my phone so that I can read these whenever I'm down, no matter where I am:

"Don't give up what you want most for what you want now."

"We achieve great things in life not through solitary feats and leaps but by constant unflinching effort."

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning to work on becoming yourself."

These are just some of my favorites, but there are many more if anyone is interested. :)

"Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing, is gonna be alright" :)

"It's going to be okay, just breathe, you'll be fine."

"The only way to get through this is to put one foot in front of the other." "Que sarrah, sarrah. means what ever will be, will be. not, 'don't try.'" "Life is simple, not easy." "Do good."

"Name it to Tame it"

Pain = Suffering x Resistance

"Trust - Accept - Allow"

"A smooth sea never made a strong sailor."

A few of my own daily reminders, particularly useful for the more stressful, compulsive days.

Let it out and let it in.
?Remember not to let yourself get too focused on the bad things. Breathe. Relax. Let in the light.

The feeling will pass whether you act on it or not.

All you need is love.
?Good for the moments when I think I need unhealthy coping mechanisms. Reminds me to take care of myself as I would a friend.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
?You?re just as human as [insert ?person you look up to? here]?and they are just as human as you are. Encourages compassion for yourself and for others, as well as a sense of connectedness.

Be here now.
?Keeps me from worrying. Directs my attention to my physical presence, my current resources, to what good I can do in the moment.

Yes, you can!!

I am, I deserve
