Positive Affirmation Lyrics

So there's this really cheesy part of therapy which honestly it really helps

If you use it responsibly, one mindful non-judgmentally

Your self-esteem will start to see that

You need to love yourself

So channel your inner zen, pick up a paper and a pen

Accentuate the positives about yourself and then

The law of attraction will see you through

Should you manifest these statements to be true

We all need a positive, we need a positive affirmation

My therapist says writing one will give me some mental confirmation

After my self-esteem, it took quite a hit

Now my core beliefs are pretty counterfeit

Therefore I am led to believe I am indeed a piece of sh-

Hey i must stay positive, this is my positive affirmation

Well the advice is concrete that we are what we eat, well the same fact applies to our brains

We feel how we think when our life's on the brink, we've got nothing to lose when we say

I am enough, no

I am worthy, no

I am a kind-hearted, oh my god stop it

This is weird, it's really freaking weird

This isn't me, how can I be so cliche

Oh I just, I hate myself, I hate myself,

For taking to heart the cards i was dealt

Well just hate yourself forever

Come on, opposite action girl, get it together

This is my positive, this is my positive affirmation

My therapist says writing this will give me some mental confirmation

After my self-esteem it took quite a hit

Now my core beliefs are pretty counterfeit

Therefore I am led to believe I am indeed a piece of

Okay I will stay positive

This is my positive affirmation

I've got an idea! so in the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race he gets the contestants to

Give advice to their childhood selves and every year it makes me emotional as hell so

I thought I'd give it a go on myself

You are the brightest crayon in all of the boxes, both inside and out

You work those quirks creatively, if not a little bit too loud, no, proud, yep

Keep opening that mind, be kind and don't ever feel the need to apologise for being

you

Boom

Can I go now

No, those words were great but you need to turn them into a positive affirmation

Try saying it again but with I am instead of you are

I am the brightest crayon in the box inside and out

I work my quirks creatively, I am different, I am proud, I am kind, I'm open-minded

I have a lot of love to give and I

Why am I crying

You know that little uncomfortable gut feeling you get overhearing a

Discriminatory comment or something not very nice

Well that's because your moral belief system doesn't agree with what's being said

So clearly your belief system doesn't agree that you're all of those

Positive things you're saying about yourself

And if you want to be like Lady Gaga you'll have to learn to take a compliment

So keep going until you really believe what you're saying otherwise it doesn't work

Okay, DBT skills, take it away

I am the brightest crayon in the box inside and out

I work my quirks creatively, I am different, I am proud, I am kind, I'm open-minded

I have a lot of love to give and I

Don't have to say sorry for any of it

Great, say it again

I am the brightest crayon in the box inside and out

I work my quirks creatively, I am different, I am proud, I am kind, I'm open-minded

I have a lot of love to give and I don't have to say sorry for any of it

Come on, try it once more

I am the brightest crayon in the box inside and out

Oh yes, I work my quirks creatively, I am different, I am proud

And remember

If you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else

Can I get an amen up in here

This is my positive, this is my positive affirmation

You need to plant the seed for your self-esteems vibration

Just listen to Ru you know she is right

Unless they're paying your bills you gotta pay them no mind

If you can't love yourself

How can you love somebody else

I am the brightest crayon in the box inside and out

I work my quirks creatively, I am different, I am proud, I am kind, I'm open-minded

I have a lot of love to give and I don't have to say sorry for any of it

Because we're all born naked and the rest is

That's the end of our session now, Ellerose

What Well, I'll have forgotten this by next week

How am I meant to remember all of that

Well, you say you remember things when you write songs about them

So why not try that

Pfft. Yeah, because people really want to hear a song about therapy

You'd be surprised
