Since my divorce, there have been times I caught myself looking back at the life I had and wishing parts of it could still be what they were. Not because everything was perfect.

Just because it was familiar. It was a life I knew. A family rhythm I understood. A version of myself I had gotten used to being. I still miss some of that.

But I’m learning that I cannot keep asking the past to become something it is not anymore. Letting go does not mean those years did not matter. They did.

It just means I want to be here now too. For my boys. For the life I am building. For the person I am still becoming.

My affirmation today:

I can honor what was without living there.

I want to be present for what is still here.

All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good and out of each experience I go through, only good will come out of it.

I know I have a limited belief saying "I am stupid no matter what I try I will always be stupid," And I find myself using I'm not stupid" As a affirmation, is slowly helping me not feel stupid for trying something, But People say using "I am not stupids," as affirmation is weak and not working? So what can I use instead.
