The topic of this week's student support group was on how thoughts and perceptions can influence our outlook on life. We considered how insecure thoughts can interfere with our ability to make healthy choices, while positive, self-affirming thoughts can develop the ability to deal with disappointments and traumas in a healthy, common sense manner.
Each group member was asked to write a statement that would help them through a present challenge in their lives. Here are some of those statements. Some have been authored by group members, others are anonymous quotes members have used to maintain a state of health and well-being.
* There are people who love and respect me for who I am, not who they want me to be.
* I may not be able to heal others but I can always heal myself.
* No smile is more beautiful than the one that struggles through the tears.
* Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak. It sometimes means you're strong enough to let go.
* I am powerful to create my own life.
Do you have a poem, a verse, a song that helps you shift your thinking when you are facing a life challenge?
