I Have, I Am, I Can

There are three small statements that I have learned to rely and live on. I go back to these three statements when I need to encourage myself and remind myself that: I AM RESILIENT. These statements are I Have, I Am, and I Can. These three 'mini statements' help me get through any rough day that I have and here are what they mean to me (This post will be mostly in list form).

I Have is reminder of everything I am blessed to have in my life.

I HAVE:

  • People around me that I trust and who love me 
  • People who set limits for me. 
  • People who show me how to act by the way the act. 
  • People who help me do things on my own. 
  • People who support me and my goals. 
By having these people, family and friends, who do all these things and more for me I am able to get on a healthy path. I am therefore able to have people who can help me when times get hard on me. 


I Am is quite obvious, it's a reminder of who I am as a person. 

I AM: 
  • A person people can like
  • A person who likes to help others
  • Respectful to myself and others
  • Willing to take responsibility for what I do. 
  • Sure I will be alright. 
By being able to remember these and remember who I am I able to center myself and my focus on myself and my goals. 


I Can is a reminder of everything I am able to do when I have rough days arise. 

I CAN: 
  • Talk to others about things that bother me
  • Find ways to solve problems that I face 
  • Control myself when I feel like somethings not right 
  • Find someone to help me when I need it
By stopping and reminding myself of what I can do about the situation I am to take charge and help myself. 


These three small statements are what I live by. They have gotten me out of many bad days by simply reminding myself that I Have, I Am, and I Can!

I HAVE survived my past, I AM resilient and I CAN survive anything else that is thrown my way!

Embracing Imperfection ~ Scars

There are many different posts I can make about "Embracing Imperfection" that's why I added a part to the title regarding this specific post Scars . We all can recognize what an external scar on the skin is; we've all fallen a few times and gotten a scrape that turns into a scar, in some cases the scar fades over time and in other cases they don't. But no-one really takes into account our internal scarring...why is that? Now I don't mean literally inside our body like scar tissue from a surgery, I mean our emotional scarring. The scarring that is so evidently present to us but no-one else sees it. If you take a look at the definition of a scar (just a scar in general) it, of course goes over other details but it also says that it is the process of wound repair and that it is a natural occurrence in the healing process . Let me repeat this...it is the process of wound repair and a natural occurrence in the healing process. What is the difference in that defi...

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...

Rare Jewel of a Day

As a person living with anxiety and depression you get use to having things occur on a daily bases. Most of the time you go through the day and have become so accustom to feeling a certain way that you don't even NOTICE it; it becomes the norm. When you discuss how it's like living with anxiety and/or depression you discuss the bad days, not the everyday life that it affected by it because you don't realize that you are affected by it by most days. You start to notice this when you have the rare, amazing day where you feel good. You feel like you had ten cups of coffee (or energy drink for those that don't do coffee) because you are up and aware, you are not feeling down and tiered or nervous about everything. You are aware of everything going on in a different way; in a way that you aren't in your everyday life. What causes these day to occur? What do you do when they do? This is what I'm going to discuss in this post. What causes these days to randomly occur...
