ASSETS
I AM MY OWN BEST INVESTMENT
I am my own best investment, and just as with any good investment, I will daily monitor my mental, physical, and spiritual accounts. I will make regular deposits of time, energy and new awareness. I will regularly withdraw old patterns of feelings, beliefs and behaviors.
At times, I may become lazy, or feel hopeless and question if my recovery is worth the investment in time and energy. When my thoughts and actions fall into old patterns of anxiety and depression, I will remind myself of what life used to be like for me. With newly found awareness, I will no longer retreat into self-defeating behavior. The time and energy I spend on my healing is valuable.
I will not forget that my primary resource is myself. I will take care of this resource as a valuable, worthwhile and beautiful asset. My spiritual, mental and physical healing is a life-long investment of my time, my energy, and my love.
