I believe in the old adage, “Hope springs eternal.” I know I can heal my heart with hope.
Just as the sun comes up each morning, I have faith in the healing power of hope.
I trust that the sun will come up each day. I trust that hope heals all things.
I have decided to avoid hopelessness. I choose to be hopeful, instead.
I am full of hope!
I know I am safe. I am grateful to be here. I am grateful to have my feet planted firmly on the ground, and my head floating in the clouds of hope.
I see the squirrels chasing each other around the tree trunk. That gives me hope. I feel happiness well up inside of me.
I abide in hope for a positive future.
I know that everything is okay. I feel it in my bones. I look out the window and see the perfection of all that is, and know that I can be just fine too.
I see the grass as it continues to grow, and it gives me hope. I see the leaves start to change, and I know that I can stay hopeful through all the changes that occur in life.
I stay in a place of hope that all is well.
Today, I feel my heart swell with hope. I feel optimism coursing through my veins. I feel a smile expand across my face. I am in a positive place of hopefulness and it is good.
Self-Reflection Questions:
- What can I do today that will increase my hope?
- Who can I call that will bring me additional hope?
- Where can I go out in nature to harvest more hope?
I’ve just launched Shop With Roz, my online store filled with supplies and gifts for every caregiver. You can find a wide variety of products in the store to help yourself and your loved one. Check it out here!
After you have a look through the store, see any products you use and love as a caregiver, and think we should share them with everyone? Let me know!
It’s here, I am so excited to share a new caregiver app called CircleOf….This app will allow you to surround yourself with resources and experts from your community including ME!!!! As you are looking through the app, you will see my familiar face. I’m excited about this partnership and new ways to support you as you support your loved one.
