A thankful self note to yourself

● A thankful self note to yourself

●Imagine what you would say to a friend or loved one you appreciate, or what you hope they would say to themselves.

●Also, don’t forget that inner child who brings you so much delight and angst as you travel through the world. She or he needs a lot of positive affirmation just like those who are still children in chronological age.

~And on a parting note, I think people of all ages can try this practice. As a public school Art teacher I saw tons of students create self-portraits and identity pieces displaying their self-appreciation and loving natures.

~I was given the note below one day by a first grader named Kiante. He loved to hug people and write “Love wins” on the chalkboard. It says “Love some People.

◆Here are  notes to myself showing self-appreciation

Thank you for being here today. Thank you for looking for beauty around you. You’re good at that.

●Hey, sometimes it’s not so easy; sometimes it’s overwhelming, and that’s okay, it’s no failing of yours. It’s okay to take a break. Thanks for letting me know when you need a break.

●Thank you for having a range of feelings for me to experience and learn from.

Thank you for walking the earth; just like the trees and the ocean, you are here, natural in the world. If you need to reconnect, go see a tree or a body of water for a minute.

●Thank you, body, for being my home.

 ●I give you a hug. I thank you today for being my friend.

●You don’t have to be perfect for me to love you. I love being you and I am proud to be you. Thanks for being the one and only you.

● forgiveness is hard, and it’s okay to not have it down perfectly. Thank you for caring about yourself and others; that’s what is most important.
