Instead of one quote today, I wanted to kiss you all with a few steps to lead you to Forgiving Yourself with affirmations and quotes that will be helpful if you’ve been beating yourself up about ANYTHING.
Start with this: ” We are all doing the best we can with the understanding, knowledge, and awareness we have. ” Louise Hay
Then: “We may not know how to forgive, and we may not want to forgive; but the very fact we say we are willing to forgive begins the healing practice.” – Louise Hay
Repeat this to yourself: ” As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and joy.” – A Course in Miracles
Now: ” Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.” – Les Brown

I get questions from people all the time about how to stay positive and what to do when you are in a slump.
For me, I use several tools but here is one quick tip that helps. Posting Positive Affirmations on my mirror before I go to bed really gives me a boost the next day.
Don’t limit yourself to just one. Leave a pad of post its on your night table and a pen to jot down whatever it is that you have negative emotions about.
If you are feeling:
I’m not worthy ; WRITE:: I am good enough. I’m worthy of all the good God has for me.
I’m broke ; WRITE :: Money comes to me frequently and easily.
I’m too fat/skinny ; WRITE:: I am beautiful as I am. I love myself.
I hope this helps. I’ll share other tips on staying positive later. Share any tricks you have in the comments section.

Don’t Quit
(one the most classic motivational poems)
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.
A Creed to Live By
(one the most classic motivational poems
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each
of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people
deem important,
Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest
to your heart
Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give
Nothing is really over … until the moment
you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect,
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s
impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without
dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget
where you’ve been,
But also know where you’re going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
every step of the way.

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,
If gladly you’ll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,
If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You’ll get it!
– Berton Braley
