I Try to Remember

1、Everybody Does’t Have to Love Me

Not everybody has to love me or even like me. I don’t necessarily like everybody I kone ,so why should everybody else like me ? I enjoy being liked and being loved ,but if somebody does’t like me , I will still be okay and still feel like Iam an okay person . I cannot make somebody like me , any more than someone can get me to like them. I don’t need approval all the time . If someone does not approve of me ,I will still be okay .

2、It Is Okay to Make Mistake

Making mistakes is something we all do , and I am still a fine and worthwhile person when I make them .There is no reason for me to get upset when I make a mistake.I am trying ,and if I make a mistake , I am going to continue trying . I can handle making a mistake .It os okay for others to make mistakes ,too . I will accept mistakes in myself and also mistakes that others make .

3、Other P eople Are Okay And I Am Okay

People who do things I don’t like are not necessarily bad people . They should not necssarily be punished just because I don’t like what they do or did . There is no reason why other people should be the way I want them to be , and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be . People will be whatever they want to be , and I will be whatever I want to be . I cannot control other people or change them. . They are who they are , we all deserve basic respect .

4、I Don’t Have to Control Things

I will survive if things are different than what I want them to be . I can accept things the way they are , accept people the way they are , and accept myself the I am . There is no reason to get upset if I can’t change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be . There is no reason why I should have to like everything . Even if I don’t like it , I can live with it .

5、I Am Responsible for My Day

I am responsible for how I feel and what I do . Nobody can make me feel anything . If I have a rotten day ,I am the one who allowed it to be that way .If I have a great day , I am the one who deserves credit for being positive . It is not the pesponsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better . I am the one who is on change of my life .

6、I Can Handle When Things Go Wrong

I don’t need to watch out for things to go erong . Things usually go just fine , and when they don’t, I don’t have to waste my energy worrying . The sky won’t fall in ; things will be okay .

7、It Is Important to Try

I can . Even thought I may be faced with difficult tasks , it is better to try than to avoid them . Avoiding a task does not give me any opportunities fot\r success or joy , but trying does . Things worth having are worth the effort . I might not be able to do everything , but I can do something .

8、I Am Capable

I don’t need someone else to take care of my problems . I am capable . I can take care of . I can make decisions for myself . I can think for myself . I don’t have to depend on somebody else to take care of me .



9、I Can Change

I don’t have to be a certain way because of what has hajppened in the past . Every day is a new way I am . It’s silly to think I can’t help being the way I am . Of course I can. I can change .

10、Other People Aer Capable

I can’t solve other people ‘s jproblems for them . I don’t have to take on other people’s problems as if they were my own . I don’t need to change other people or fix up their lives .They are capable and can take care of themselves , and can solve their own problems . I can care and be of some help , but I can’t do everythings for them .

11、I Can Be Flexible

There is more than one way to do something . More than one person has had good ideas that will work . There is noone and only “best”way . Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile . Some may make more sense to me than others , but everyone’ s ideas are worthwhile , and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute .
