Thought Machine

Sometimes my thought machine makes thoughts like

 

THAT WENT WELL or YOU’RE DOING GREAT or

                    YOU’VE GOT THIS

 

but sometimes it makes thoughts like

 

THAT WAS TERRIBLE or HOW EMBARRASING or

                       WHAT A MESS

 

When that happens, I dance. Write. Run. Sing.

Listen to music. Talk. Swim.

I think of ONE thing I like about myself

 

NICE EARLOBES or GREAT DACNCING or EXCELLENT

                             JOKES

 

               and I set about my day.

And somehow, that pesky little thought machine

     tends to think more positive things, like

 

THIS IS GOING WELL, YOU’RE DOING GREAT –

               YOU’VE GOT THIS!

 

                      And I have.
