This is what I like to add to statements about myself or my life that I don’t like.
It helps to inch me a little bit closer to a positive thought.
“I gained weight this week…and it’s OK”
“The kids are fighting…and it’s OK.”
“The weather has changed our party plans…and it’s OK.”
“I just yelled at her…. and it’s OK.”
“Yet another hole in the wall…and it’s OK.”
Sometimes I don’t want to feel OK about something. Sometimes it’s better that I just sit with the hard for a bit and let myself process it.
But when it no longer serves me to think negatively about something, this little tag line helps.
And if I don’t believe it’s OK, I’ll add, “…and it’s possible that” before “it’s OK.”
Bridge thoughts can really help when you’re having a hard time accepting what is.
This one is one of my favorites. Give it a try!
