Liking Yourself

start your day with a smile
and affirm that you're worthwhile
look in the mirror and be happy with you
at first this will be hard to do
but remember, practise makes perfect

every time your neg voice starts to scream
challenge it and tell it not to be so mean
for every put down that comes into you head
replace it with two happy thoughts instead

do things that bring you joy
even if it is playing with kids toys
read uplifting books about people who are strong
and seriously, just stop making yourself wrong!!

Did Walt Disney Studios commission you to write this? It's very sappy (in a good way) and uplifting and sweet. Nice!

I feel the 'neg' doesn't fit in with the rest of the poem. But overall, very good. It's like a verse from inside a greeting card or one of those uplifting cards you can get from card shops :]

if you add a few adjectives it will flow a ltiile better. The concept is great.
Start your day with a little smile
and affirm that you are
remarkably worthwhile.
Look in to the mirror, (instead of in the)
just my thoughts.
