How I support myself

Loved Cherished Adored –

Learning to love myself is the practice which turned my life around.

Learning how to support myself has been the next most valuable skill.

I support myself by honoring my desires.

Discovering what I love to do and doing it is the way I began to support myself.

Taking tiny steps is the way I support myself.

I cannot begin if the goal is too big.

It is okay to have a big goal, but tiny steps are the way to get there.

I support myself by being aware of my environment.

I need a calm environment.

I cannot stay for long in a loud group, even if it is fun.

I leave when I cannot participate in a fun manner.

I support myself by honoring my skills.

One of my skills is the joy of learning.

I approach new things with joy and eager enthusiasm.

When I cannot embrace the feeling of joy, I find a different way to learn.

I support myself by making beautiful things.

I love to sew, quilt, weave, draw, and write.

I have set up my studio so that I have room to do each of these things.

I easily move from one station to another.

I can work on one project for a while, then move to another.

I can develop the things which I enjoy in a manner which supports me.

I support myself by learning things which are difficult and complex for me.

In order to expand my knowledge and my ability to share, I need to learn technology.

I repeat the steps over and over again until it is possible for me to do them.

I break the steps down into the tiniest imaginable particle in order to get started.

I read the directions or watch the tutorial over and over again, until I have the courage to take the first tiny particle of a step.

When I cannot do something, I find a way to honor myself in a supportive way.

This is how I support myself.
