Serenity Prayer For Ptsd & Healing Thoughts

[BloomInWinter]

I've been trying to come up with a good version of the Serenity Prayer to open our new local PTSD Support Group.

I think I have one that rings true to me...

God, ​

Grant me the Serenity​

to accept the memories I cannot change​

the courage to heal the wounds I can, and ​

wisdom to know the difference.​

​

Some 'affirmations' that I'm working on saying to myself (even when I don't believe them yet) when I'm spiraling downward...​

​

I have worth.​

I deserve to feel good.​

I deserve good things.​

I have a lot to be proud of.​

I am not alone. I have friends, allies, and resources now.​

I am human too.​

I deserve happiness.​

I deserve love.​

I am lovable.​

I can ask for what I need.​

I'm allowed to have needs.​

I'm allowed to have my own opinion.​

I don't have to accept that judgment.​

I don't have to let that get under my skin.​

I can choose to let that thought, word, deed go so it won't bother me.​

​

What's working for you?​

​

That sounds like a good and appropriate modification.

I've been thinking about taping some affirmations to my mirror so that they are some of the first things I see in the morning.

I am good enough.

I am worth it.

Serenity Prayer

Here's the french version of Bloom's Serenity Prayer

Mon Dieu,
donne-moi la Sérénité
d'accepter les souvenirs que je ne peux changer.
Le Courage de soigner les blessures que je peux
et la Sagesse d'en connaître la différence.​

Hope Anthony can come up with a beautiful background so that we can print it out

A lil version from the lady JenJen

God, grant me serenity on Valentines Day
To know when to eat grass, and when to say 'HEY?'
'Coz you know we're all down here, fightin it all
It's ironic, to walk and then have to crawl

To all my lovely people out there
You're all in my hearts while we're gettin' to 'WHERE?'
Gosh, so embarrassing to resort to rhyme
But it's Valentines Day - to the mods - let it slide

Happy Valentines Day everyone :)
