Lately, I find myself talking out loud. I’m talking to myself, saying things such as, “You can do this. You’re giving it all you got. Just keep trying, it will work out.” I suppose that recently, I’ve been needing to convince myself that I can successfully do various things. Whether it’s going to the new support group last week, going to the very crowded state fair, or doing the juicing fast, I find that telling myself I can do these things has been extremely helpful to my success. I supposed it’s a form of positive thinking. Even when I don’t really believe in myself, saying positive things over and over is a way to convince myself of good things.
There’s no harm in trying. Lately, I’ve been trying a lot of new and different things. Some of these things have been terrifying and anxiety provoking, and others have just simply been difficult. Even if I don’t complete all of these tasks that I’m starting, at least I’m trying. I’ll never be able to complete any new accomplishments without first trying.

So glad to see the progress you are making. I know it is not all unicorns and rainbows, but it is in the right direction. What an amazing change within a short time of starting this medication. So thrilled it is working. I know that they don’t all work for everyone, and you’ve tried so many-you are due a break. I admire you for hanging in there and not giving up.

Thanks! I was surprised as well at what a quick turn around I’ve been having. The support from my family helps quite a bit.

I love your positivity. I need to work on this in my own life with my anxiety so crippling and out of control. You’ve inspired me, thank you!

I normally don’t think of myself as a positive person. However, if I talk positively out loud to myself, even when I don’t really mean it, it helps. I’m so happy I could inspire you.
