Acronyms

 

A great way to affirm a positive thought is to create an acronym out of the main word.

Have a blessed day,

 

                                                                                                                Sometimes I have to HALT and not get too:

                                                                                    

                                                                                      Hungry

                                                                                      Angry

                                                                                      Lonely

                                                                                      Tired

 

                                                                                       but other times I need to STOP and not get too

                                                                                   

                                                                                       Scared

                                                                                       Tense

                                                                                       Overwhelmed

                                                                                       Pessimistic

 

                                                                                        as well.

 

When overwhelmed with FEAR a lot of people chose to

 

                                                  Fuck

                                                  Everything

                                                  And

                                                  Run

 

but, through working my program, I have learned to

 

                                                                                        Face

                                                                                        Everything

                                                                                        And

                                                                                        Recover

 

 

                                                  Being

                                                  Able to

                                                  Live

                                                  And

                                                  Navigate

                                                  Challenges
