The things you tell yourself

I've been thinking about how we practice self-acceptance and compassion in order to allow ourselves to remain fully present and engaged.  Lately, I've observed that I could use a little tuneup when it comes to practicing compassion toward myself. I've even scheduled times at the beginning and end of each day for some affirmations.  I know in the past, some affirmations don't quite feel authentic for me.  I've learned that when I craft or edit affirmations to speak with extra context, they feel more true for me. For example, when I am feeling ineffective at my job and lacking confidence, instead of simply, "I am worthy of being confident," I might tell myself, "I have the training, compassion, and experience to make a positive difference in the lives of others."  

What affirmations have you written for yourself that have been powerful in allowing you to feel safe in your vulnerability.
