Fruitycake’s Daily Affirmation: I Do Not Have To Be Mean Back

This is Fruitycake. There is a lot of mean in today’s world. But…Today, I choose not to carry someone else’s meanness with me. When people say hurtful things, I will remember that their words belong to them, not to me. I do not have to bark back, bite back, or be mean back. I can be kind without being weak, and I can walk away without losing my strength. Just like a dog who shakes off the rain and keeps going, I will shake off unkind words and keep being myself. I will protect my peace, guard my heart, and remember that someone else’s bad behavior does not have to change who I am. Today, I choose kindness, courage, and forgiveness. And that is enough.

Say this out loud with me today!

I will not let another person’s meanness decide who I am. I choose to respond with patience, kindness, and strength. I do not need to prove myself, win an argument, or return hurt for hurt. Like Fruitycake, I will stay true to my heart, forgive when I can, walk away when I should, and keep moving forward with peace. The way others act is their choice. The way I act is mine.

I know it’s the easier thing to be mean back. But I believe in us all that we simply won’t do that today!
