In
the early days of my healing, I decided since I didn’t have any close friends
in town that I would have to be my own support system. I read the bible every day, poetry, and books
like The Power of Positive Thinking and
attended church at least several times a week.
On index cards, I wrote bible quotes and positive sayings which I read a
few times each day. Without regular
access to the internet, I focused on positive songs like Kelly Clarkson’s song Break Away when I heard them on the
radio.
I suggest you start
thinking about building your own support system or supplementing your current
one. You also might want to consider creating
your own book filled with everything that soothes your soul, like your
affirmations or a photo of someone you love and maybe choose a title for it
like Well Deserved Love. You can use a
notebook, journal, or a hardcover book with a blank cover found at art supply
stores if you want to design your own cover.
Don’t make it a chore. Have fun
with it! Get a little silly or go crazy
like you did back when you had art in school when you were a kid. Hey!
Maybe add some Silly Putty in there, too, if they even still make that anymore. Enjoy!
