Day 3666: I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, etc.

I’m good enough, I’m smart enough to remember Al Franken’s Stuart Smalley character from Saturday Night Live.

Stuart, who was not a licensed therapist (unlike me) often said “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”

Yesterday, I was good enough and smart enough to talk to another licensed therapist about Stuart Smalley and that catchphrase. In EMDR therapy, I’ve been working on believing that I’m good enough and smart enough to trust myself, and I imagined saying those affirmations to myself and believing them.

I’m good enough, I’m smart enough to realize that even though Stuart was a character on a sketch comedy show, he is still good enough and smart enough to help others, including myself.

Are my images for today good enough and smart enough?

Thanks to all those who are good enough and smart enough to help me create this daily blog, including YOU.
