what tools have you swapped in your tool box?
Permalink  

I had a microscope I swapped for a mirror!

Rose tinted glasses, I swapped for varifocals!

a broken record I swapped for an hearing aid!

a callculator I kept but instead of adding up the defcit's I started adding up the credit!

bricks I swapped for barriers!

there must be tons more, your turn!smile

I HAD DEPRESSION, I SWAPPED FOR HAPPINESS!
I HAD ANXIETY, I SWAPPED FOR SERENITY!
I HAD FEAR, I SWAPPED FOR FAITH!
I HAD ENVY, I SWAPPED FOR ACCEPTANCE!
I HAD A HAMMER, I SWAPPED FOR A SONG!
I HAD A MEMORY, I SWAPPED FOR TODAY!

my negative thoughts I replace with positive
my grief I replace with acceptance
Fear replaced with love
control I replace with time in nature pampering me
isolation I replace with sharing feelings with trusted people
paranoia I replace with trust

I swapped my judgment for compassion!

(That's all I can think of, but I LOVE this post!)

I swapped my big mouth for mum's the word. Life is so much better now.

In support,
Nancy
