How do you talk yourself through hard times?

Sometimes, my negative voice starts talking. How do you talk yourself through the hard times?

When Life Feels Too Hard
“Everything always works out eventually. This will, too. And if it doesn’t work out, that means I’m dead, so it won’t matter anyway.”

“Anything is possible, even this.”

“Just put one foot in front of the other.”

When I’m Too Scared to Take a Risk
“It’s better to try and fail than to not try at all.”

“I need to do this. Otherwise I’ll always wonder, ‘What if I’d had the courage?’”

When I’m Lusting After Something I Can’t Afford
“If I had that, I’d probably be really unhappy.”

When I’m Wallowing in Self Pity
“Build a bridge and get over it.”

“There are much worse things than this.”

“This, too, shall pass.”

When I Feel Overwhelmed
“I’ll get it all done. I just might not get it all done today.”

“Am I really going to care about this when I am on my deathbed?”

When I Feel Like a Good-for-Nothing Loser that My Own Dog Doesn’t Love
“I’m definitely going to get my period tomorrow.”

When I’m Mad at My Husband
“Someone has to be the big person here. He’s obviously not going to be that person, so it’s going to have to be me.”

When I’m Tempted to Skip Sex, Exercise or Meditation
“I’ll feel better when it’s over.”

“If I don’t do this, the Negative Voices will take over. No one wants that.”

When I Feel Mean Mommy About to Surface
“If I die of a massive heart attack right now, do I really want my last words to be, “Stop acting like such a brat”?”

“Just close your mouth and walk away from the child.”

“Ignore her. Ignore her. Ignore her. Ignore her. Ignore her. Ignore her.”

When Mean Mommy Surfaces Anyway
“My mom told me that I got on her last nerve about 6 billion times, and I turned out all right.”

“She’s going to end up in therapy whether I slip up and call her a brat or not. Stop feeling so guilty.”

“At least I’m not as bad as that lady on Halloween who cursed her kid out because her kid wouldn’t walk up to a door to get more candy. Now that’s a kid who will end up in therapy.”

When Someone Leaves a Nasty Comment on My Blog
“That says more about her/him than it says about me.”

What are the things that you tell yourself during life’s harder moments?

Wanted:

WANTED: Beautiful, educated, intelligent woman with fast metabolism. Ability to nurture, arouse, earn large income, impress everyone, and read bedtime stories a must. Housekeeping skills a plus.

This is a tall order for today's woman. As unrealistic as it is, why do we continue to respond to this high-pressure fantasy?

Miranda Lambert - More Like Her

This song has been on my mind all day.

"You had it all for a pretty little while
And somehow you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
And then you realized you wanted what you had
I guess I should have been more like that

I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserve
I guess I should have been more like her."

Dinner!

It worked!

The four man plan worked!!!! I just got engaged!!!!!
