lyrics

I have the power to change my life.
I set my terms.
I am not afraid of change.
I can only be me.
No one else will live my life for me.
I have to make choices for myself that are sustainable.
I won’t always feel this way.
I have a choice in what I do to make myself feel better.
I can choose to react or to respond to a situation.
I need to take care of myself.
Other people‘s behavior does not necessarily reflect on something that I have or haven’t done or have or haven’t done correctly.
Other people‘s behavior towards me may not have anything to do with me or what I have done.
I am empowered when I shift my perspective and focus on the positive things in my life.
I have a choice in what I will tolerate.
If I can approach life with a positive perspective, I can move forward confidently.
Just because I put up with something in the past does not mean I need to continue to do so.
If I feel strongly about some thing, I should consider what I should do about it, if anything.
Worrying about something does not do anything.
If 10-year-old me saw the life I live and what I have accomplished, they would freak out.
I am capable of making choices that will benefit me and align with my goals.
I can feel and think things without becoming them or letting them overwhelm me.
I am free to be myself and other people’s acceptance of me does not change who I am.
I can choose to live my life or I can choose to live someone else’s.
I don’t need unnecessary stress in my life.
I am valuable whether or not I do anything or not.
I can choose to live my life or to let other people live it for me.
All I have is the present moment. I cannot change the past and I cannot control the future.
Worrying does nothing.
There will always be unknown, and I can choose to fear it or accept it.
I don’t deserve to be treated poorly.
I don’t need to have an inflated sense of worth in order to know that I have value.
I have to check in with myself every day and make sure that I want to be doing the things that I am doing.
It is important that I listen to my heart and what it has to say to me.
I can choose to run away from my intuition or to trust it.
I am allowed to feel. I don’t need to apologize for feeling. I can’t control how I feel, but I can control how I respond to my feelings.
I don’t want to regret giving my time and energy to people who did not appreciate it or took advantage of me.
I have limited energy, time, and capacity.
Until I make concrete decisions for myself, I will inherently allow others to make decisions for me.
I am allowed to change my mind.
I am always healing, learning, and growing.
I have lived through over a year of a global pandemic, which is not over yet.
There are many many wonderful things for me to see in my life if I am willing to see them.
