As I was reading through posts here on the Alliance of Hope Forum, I was also sipping my morning coffee. I wasn’t paying much attention to the words on my mug until a minute ago. As you may have guessed, it reads what the title of this post says. This week has been pretty tough at times but looking at the message on my mug this morning reminded me that … Yes, I do have this!
When my therapist suggests a tough activity to help me … I’ve got this.
When I’m feeling overwhelmed by all the tasks that need to be done … I’ve got this.
When I’m faced with decisions I would typically make with my husband but have to now do solo … I’ve got this.
When I’m wondering just how I’m going to get out of bed every day … I’ve got this.
When my emotions rise to the surface and all I want to do is cry … I’ve got this – (and I cry).
When I struggle to find the right words to express how I truly feel … I’ve got this.
When my heart bursts all over again because I miss him so much … I’ve got this.
When boundaries need to be set for my own healing … I’ve got this.
When I feel like I want to give up for the day, but I push on through … I’ve got this.
I could go on. But I think you get the gist.
My coworker and friend gave me this mug to remind me that “I’ve got this.” But I’m not the only one. What can you share for which someone might tell you “You’ve got this!” We all have something. We are all survivors and I firmly believe that … You’ve Got this!
