Even if … No matter what

Even if ….
Even though ….
Even when ….
No matter what ….

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~

I’ve adjusted and adapted in previous circumstances …
and I will do that again

Even if _____________________ happens,
I will be able to “handle” my “reactions” to whatever does happen

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~

aspirations … motivations … intentions … hopes … wishes

~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~

Even if ____________________ happens …
and even though I may have difficult reactions
Somehow, I will adjust and adapt…

It may take hours or days or weeks or months or years for me to adjust
but I know I’ve adjusted before, so that will certainly happen again
So, no matter how long it takes…
I will at some point return to full-hearted ways

~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~

I will again return to living with a heart that is
steady-hearted … kind-hearted … bright-hearted … strong hearted …
open-hearted … clear-hearted
And for that return, I will be thankful

~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~

Possibly … I may be able to “do” something to help out in a situation
And I can come up with strategies and interventions for helping

And … I might not be able to do anything to help with a situation
And therefore … I’ll need to learn to access other coping ways
I’ll need to remember coping ways from past experiences
And to remember that I was able to do that before, so I can do it again now
