New Inner Dialogue

[Inforapenny]

Need your help guys.
I need to turn my thoughts around - so far I have been playing the sound track to "I want him back" in my head constantly.
I am slowly coming to the realisation, that he is not going to come back.
So, I need to find a positive, fresh approach to my new life as a single mum.
What do you tell yourself every day to keep the spark of happiness burning?
Give me some strength and personal mojo.
Thanks

I don't really know what I tell myself.

I supposeI tell myself that I am a strong person and I can do it!
I tell myself that when my DS grows up into a beautiful little boy- it will be because of me, my hard work.

And, I always think well, if there are people dealing with abuse, homlessness and other things than really what I'm going through is not that bad!
Funnily enough that's how I got through labour on my own as well!!!!:laughing: I thought it was a true tribute and a true start to the single parent life.

Why don't you write down a list of all the stressful horrible things he said/did while you were together (or after the breakup) and everytime you feel nostalgic have a look at it and remember he wasn't as great as your memory would have you think. We tend to more remember the warm-fuzzies.
Then think about the future and how proud you and your family and your child/ren will be of you when everyone sees what bright, happy, well-adjusted young people you raised through tough times and all by yourself.
