What do you feel secure about?

When times feel uncertain, it helps to remember things that we feel secure about.

I feel secure in my relationships. I know that a few people love me and that won’t change.

This is fundamental for me. For me feeling a connection with someone else is required for my life. If I didn’t feel that, life would be very empty and meaningless for me.

I feel secure in my ability to get a job. I have gotten lots of jobs and I can do many things. I can learn skills, and I can be useful to many organizations. I know that I have value, and I don’t undervalue myself when recruiters reach out to me about jobs. I would rather study than work in a job that pays me less than the market rate.

No this isn’t humble bragging. This is an attempt to show that when we have thoughts of fear, we need to center ourselves with thoughts of love and reality.

I feel secure about growing. I have grown and adapted to many organizations and situations in my life. I sometimes joke during job interviews that my middle name is flexible. I can adapt to the situation and deal with lean and fat times.

I feel secure in how I treat others. I am not perfectly kind all of the time, but I try and the majority of the time I can feel good that I did my best with others. I don’t believe in guilt. If you think something is important you do it. I don’t look back and feel bad. I look back and feel grateful that I did as well as I did given everything else that I didn’t realize about myself at the time.
