Stop participating continuously,
It’s not up to you.

Re: Hesitative Affirmations
When I feel anxious, I think,
“I’ve gotten away with something.”
And the something is,
My own autonomy,
And that maybe I can’t be trusted with it;
That it might end in mischief,
Because I have no self-control?
So I sort of accept,
That I I’ll be misunderstood,
And proceed to be,
My surprising self.

Re: Hesitative Affirmations
The risks in making it;
1. I lose control of who benefits from my success
2. The knock-on credits are unpredictable
3. I only ever succeed in one area
4. I may be gripped by enthusiasm
5. The moment of success is less like a scorpion strike and more like a bucket of water being tipped over
6. People who are stronger than me may insist on helping me
And 7. If I struggle to avoid these eventualities, I may simply fail, and bring them on

Re: Hesitative Affirmations
Today, I may be accepted as me,
However briefly,
Which may benefit others,
Before I can do anything.

Re: Hesitative Affirmations
I am very good
At feeling
Confused.
It could be my gift in life.
My confusion gets results.
It is full of opportunities
To rest.

Re: Hesitative Affirmations
My joy,
Is offensive,
To bullies.
Knowing it offends them,
Is all the encouragement,
I need.
