1.   I am not the only person to blame for what happened, no matter how much I want to make myself think that sometimes.

 

2.  Its ok to accept a compliment from someone with just a thank you, and not have to put myself down while accepting it.   (Thanks go to Marj for that one)

 

3.  Its ok to ask for help from others, I cant do everything myself, and I dont need to feel ashamed or guilty for doing so.

 

4.  That there are people out there who truely do care about my wellbeing and that want the best for me in my life.

 

5.  I deserve to be happy in my life, that I cant hide behind being miserable just to protect myself.

 

6.  That I have to face what happened in the past, and deal with my feelings from that.

 

7.  That I am allowed to be angry, and I dont need to beat myself up if that happens towards my ex.

 

8.  That I dont need to be ashamed of who I am or how I look, if people cant accept that, its their problem, not mine.

 

9.  That I need to care about myself and not always put others first, and consider their feelings as more important then mine.

 

10.  Finally, that this whole thing is a path I need to follow, and I cant give up, no matter how hard it gets, as with time things will work out.

 

 

Just some rambling thoughts from me.
