Not Today

NOT TODAY

Will I feel worthless

Will I feel bitter and resentful about the damage my abuse has caused my life

Will I act out in negative and self-sabotaging ways

Will I be disconnected from my body and soul

Will I harbor irrational fears and misguided rage

Will I feel insecure and childlike

Will I be stuck in the past

TODAY

I am strong and positive, bouyant and joyful

I have survived the abuse and am safe and free and hopeful

I have value and massive potential, a great present and a fantastic future

I am myself, connected to myself, and it's a good place to be

I feel the pain of the past but accept it as the past

I acknowledge and forgive

I am alive, vibrantly so

I am grateful


Needed to get that off my chest. Thanks as always for being here,

Alex

Alex,

I just wanted to highlight what I see as the most important part of this uplifting post:

I have survived the abuse and am safe and free and hopeful
I have value and massive potential, a great present and a fantastic future
I am myself, connected to myself, and it's a good place to be
I feel the pain of the past but accept it as the past

These are such important keys to healing, and I am sure you will gain so much from them as you proceed in your recovery.

Much love,
Larry
