Sometimes we just give over to our stubborn sides. Let’s borrow benefits and tap some charge off.
KC: Even though it has to be all or nothing in my thinking---I acknowledge this and am open to changing this
KC: Even though I blew it ---so I might as well forget my promise to myself---I’m open to looking at this differently
KC: Even though I hate being told what to do and often rebel “Just because” and go to extremes---I acknowledge it and still accept myself
EB: I was terrible
SE: I blew it
UE: You can’t tell me how to act
UN: I’ll do, be and act like I want
CH: So what
CB: I KNOW I shouldn’t be like this
UA: Leave me alone
TH: Or, I’ll do what I want
EB: Okay, I admit I wish I could be more flexible
SE: I just want what I want
UE: Why can’t people keep their opinions to themselves
UN: I feel like I have to play the part
CH: Go to the other extreme
CB: This is hard on me
UA: I want to make it my choice
TH: I can agree with their position if I want to
EB: I can then really be the boss of me
SE: I’d sure like to relax
UE: And take the time to figure out what I want to do
UN: I could pause
CH: Walk away
CB: Think about what is best for me
UA: One step at a time
TH: One situation at a time
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh
CB: I deserve to do what I want as long as it’s right for me
When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I am committed to one happy life of my design—not in reaction to what others want from me”
