Three Statements to Tell Yourself Each Day

Dear Neighbor,

In this post, I’m sharing with you three positive statements that I’ve used to help brighten up my day. What positive statements do you tell yourself each day?

“Three Statements” lyrics / poem by James Barnett

I tell myself three statements
To help me get through the day
They’re a reminder
That there’s always another way
It can be easy to forget
So I get to think of them constantly
If I sing them
Then they’re easier to remember
And here they are

Today is different
I’m enough
I love and respect myself
As simple as this seems to be
It’s quite profound to me
Today is different
I’m enough
I love and respect myself
That bears repeating
So here goes
Today is different
I’m enough
I love and respect myself

It’s better than thinking
Each day is the same
For down that road lies depression
Pessimism, negativity, and hopelessness
I admit to being powerful
I can change my circumstances
I am free to be
And create a new today
Join with me now and say

It’s greater than thinking
That I am somehow lacking
For that leads to bullying myself
And not being accepting
Of who I am and who I’ve been
And who I still could be
I admit that I am enough
And I approve of myself
I am confident in me
Oh, that’s such a relief
Now sing along with me

Instead of hating myself
I fully accept myself
Exactly as I am
And exactly as I’m not
Instead of apologizing
Simply for being here
I choose to love and respect myself
And that allows me
To have enriching relationships
Mutually beneficial
And enjoyable all around
I know you know these words by now
