I use to think it would be awful to get old but now I realize it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. There are also some advantages to getting older.
- I have learned from experience and it helps me make better decisions
- I am more confident
- I don’t allow people to manipulate me anymore
- I’m OK if people don’t like me
- I can say “no” sooner and firmer
- I recognize deception more quickly
- I can spot and avoid “takers” more easily
- I am much wiser
- I am much more self-assured
- I do more of the things I want to do
- I don’t mind being alone as much
- I am OK with people thinking badly of me
- I am OK with people talking about me
- I choose my battles
- I don’t sweat the small stuff
- I don’t feel guilty for treating myself well
- I don’t apologize for being me
- I accept myself
- I love myself
