So, if I become the best me I can be, we'll see what happens. And either way, I'll be better off!
Now you're talkin'!!!
I agree that the list was a good start. Just going through the exercise of realizing all of the "good" is worthwhile when you're starting to fall into that pit of negativity.
My h used to say "I love you, but..." That REALLY used to piss me off. Why ruin such a beautiful statement by adding a "but"?
I have trouble imagining that... I love you, but you are a terrible cook? I love you, but you don't wear your hair right? I love you, but your underwear doesn't match? I love you, but you take too long in the shower?
