Look what the cat dragged in! (TL) - Act 2

That's a hard one to define Tiger. Maybe it's a little bit different for everyone?

IMHO, I think of "As If" as being your best self. Imagine yourself confident, full of self-respect and strength... You are beautiful and you deserve someone who reflects that image. You be your best self, even if you feel "not so much." Be that person.

I can tell you what "As if" is NOT...

Needy. Insecure. Bitchy. Self-Righteous. Scared like a bunny rabbit. Immature. Unable to function without that ONE person in your life.

Wow, this is a good exercise.

Here's mine:

I'm strong. I'm powerful. I'm able to handle whatever Smokey throws at me and I convey this to him in the way I carry myself. I'm happy in my own skin. I'm loving myself--ALL of myself, regardless of his criticism or judgment. I know I am beautiful and kind and worthy. I walk and act AS IF I know all this and I'm dammm proud of myself and what I've achieved. I will thrive with you or without you. I'm good with myself.
