emq:

• This too shall pass & my life will be better.
• I am a worthy and good person. 
• I am doing the best I can, given my history and level of current awareness.
• Like everyone else, I am a fallible person and at times will make mistakes and am committed to learning from them.
• What is, is.
• Look at how much I have accomplished, and I am still progressing.
• There are no failures, only different degrees of success.
• Be honest and true to myself.
• It is OK to let myself be distressed for awhile.
• I am not helpless. I can and will take the steps needed to get through during crisis. 
• I will remain engaged and involved instead of isolating and withdrawing during this situation.
• This is an opportunity, instead of a threat. I will use this experience to learn something new, to change my direction, and/or to try a new approach. 
• Other people are responsible for their reactions to me. 
• I can stand anything for a while because I am resilient. 
• In the long run, who will remember or care? 
• I see all things through the eyes of compassion.

This is amazing!
