I must believe that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in my brain.

I must believe that most of my thoughts are untrue.

I must believe that my brain is designed to heal (Ryker’s Regular Legs)

I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now. (No Tomorrow Tax! Corollary: I must not treat bad feelings with bad operations.)

I must stop making an operation out of everything.

I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones.
