At the recommendation from my counselor, I have begun reading and meditating on the book Daily Affirmations for Adult Children of Alcoholics. Not just for the titular demographic, I feel that this book can help people of all sorts of different backgrounds and walks of life. It's good for the journey of growing up, the efforts to make one's life what one wants it to be.
"I welcome this new day and this new year. I choose to begin a letting go of unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that have stifled my growth... I choose to think new thoughts, to look at new values and to find new ways of expressing my God-given gifts. I now choose to deepen my understanding of myself and others... I choose to have vital, healthy interactions with others..."
For so long, I've yearned to change something in my life, to be truly happy, to seize moments as they happen and to be content where I am at each point in my life. I'm ready to start. I'm ready to stop self-loathing. I'm ready to stop my bad habits, start good habits. I'm ready to forgive myself when I fall short. I'm ready to stop the judging. I'm ready to stop filling voids in my life with things which hurt me. I want a healthy, happy, whole life.
I'm ready.
