Have you seen the Instagram account Disappointing Affirmations?

For anyone who wants a gentle nod of encouragement, an arm wrapped around them or a nudge in the right direction, I suggest you stay well clear of this account.

Disappointing Affirmations contains such gems of wisdom as:

*** You are enough.  Not the best, but you’ll do

*** Today I’m taking control of my emotions.  I’m choosing to have a meltdown

*** You are never alone.  You always have your regrets and disappointments to keep you company

And my favourite of all:

*** I’m exactly where I want to be.  At home, avoiding people

For someone like me who loves an Irish goodbye, relishes being cut off from the outside world and who’s idea of a perfect weekend is having a diary packed full of absolutely nothing (what I call “being busy not being busy”), this is an affirmation that yours-introvertedly can wholeheartedly get behind.

I’m not sure I have much more to add to such motivational words on this wet & windy Friday morning.

Except to say:

I’m planning to rev up my own social media malarkies.

Starting tomorrow with a milestone celebration on LinkedIn, my platform of choice.

If you want to join in the celebrations, shoot me a connection request here:

Have a great weekend.
