The more I recite positive affirmations to myself and believe in them, the better I feel. After years of difficulty I am pulling myself up and finding hope for my future. It is work, and I have to focus on some positives every day, but I am making progress. I try to be good to myself and go easy, but I will also force myself at times to get moving when I really need to get something done. You can't be too complacent.
