Puppy Affirmations

Every time I feel weak and useless and broken and ruined and abnormal and a failure because I’m chronically ill/disabled/crippled/mentally ill/depressed/anxious/trans/non-binary/queer/fatigued/overweight/”not pretty enough”/”too old” or whatever… 

I try to remember to see myself NOT as a failed adult human, but as a puppy who’s doing their best. And I give myself the compassion I would give a puppy. I wouldn’t hate a puppy for needing a nap or being unable to carry two bags of groceries home. I wouldn’t force a puppy to write perfectly beautiful calligraphy or try to teach it to paint photorealistic oil paintings. 

Puppies need love and support!
