POSITIVE THOUGHTS!

Welcome to Survivor Acceptance: a web site dedicated to efforts of those who have struggled with a debilitating injury, disability or disease. Recovery to those who have suffered and to those that provide assistance is making progress.

MAKING PROGRESS IS ACCEPTING DEFICITS, LEARNING SUCCESS STRATEGIES TO HELP WITH DEFICITS AND LEARNING TO LOVE AND VALUE YOURSELF.

Nancy's Success Secrets:

1. Recovery is Making Progress
2. It doesn't matter where you start, just attempting to do a little better today than you did yesterday, is Making Progress
3. Recovery demands commitment and a sustained determination to overcome obstacles and attain goals

Nancy's goal achievement self-statements:

IN ORDER TO MAKE CHANGES, I MUST HAVE GOALS. THOSE GOALS NEED TO BE REALISTIC AND ATTAINABLE. WHEN BRINGING ABOUT GENUINE CHANGE, A SUSTAINED EFFORT MUST BE MADE. IT TAKES DETERMINATION, EFFORT AND TIME TO MODIFY OR CHANGE BEHAVIOUR.

MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS A WISH OR DREAM. I RECOGNIZE MY DIFFICULTIES IN THE HERE AND NOW. IT IS NOT REALISTIC TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE A "QUICK-FIX" FOR LONG STANDING PROBLEMS. I NEED TO BE COMMITTED TO MAKING THE CHANGES THAT WILL LEAD ME WHERE I WANT TO GO!

AT ALL TIMES, I MUST BE KIND TO MYSELF WHILE I'M ATTEMPTING TO MAKE CHANGES.

More of Nancy’s SUCCESS SECRETS:

1)   Failure is not an option.

2)   Maintaining determination while accepting  temporary setbacks positions me well for future success.*

3)   Refusing to capitulate to helplessness allows me to accomplish the enduring goals I have for myself – and I moblize the positive energy known as ambition.*
