Something you say to yourself when u are having a rough day?
Hashem Hu HaElokim
Gam zeh yaavor.
Zeh hayom asah Hashem, nagila v’nismicha bo!
On a hard day that means, “Whatever happened today was from Hashem, and I’m going to be happy about it no matter what!!”
On other days, “What happy happenings Hashem has made on this day, let’s be happy about it!!”
“If you stop struggling, then you stop life.”

Yes, I created a few. One is that I say:
“Everyday, in every way, I am getting thinner, stronger, and smarter”
(even if it ain’t true- its good to hear)
“Things are going to work out just fine” (Used approx. 101 times a day lately!)
“I have the power within me to control my life in the direction I want to go in”. (this one actually helped instigate my initial return to Judaism!)
My personal favorite, which ironically I hardly use is:
“Before I diagnosis myself as angry, bi-polar, BOrderline personality or anxiety disorder, first do a check if I am not in fact surrounded by jerks”
Every morning, I tell myself-
There are blessings hidden everywhere- I will find them. That is what I am on this world for.
Then whenever I’m upset I think-
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

Meaning: you’ve been through worse, you’ll get through this, too!
Whether things are good or bad: “What does Hashem want from me now?”
eclipse, seems like me n u are the only ones on now, we sld chat, hey mods can you make that an option? like to see which users are actively logged in at any time….
I don’t think that will happen. Also, the mods are not responsible for updates to the site.

Hi ikno! I’m actually tired now, so gonna get some much-needed sleep. But what does ikno stand for? (if you didn’t fall asleep yet)
i actually did, eclipse….
but that was a good question, honestly i tried putting iknow as my user name, but it was already taken.
the more i know, the more i realize how little ikno!
who laughed at mine? I did!
Thank God I’m not a 10 year old starving in Africa with no idea where my parents are, or where I’m gonna sleep tonight. I’m so blessed to have chocolate!
Ilu finu maleh shira kayam. I sing it to myself under my breath or in my head when I’m stressed out, and it always makes me feel better.
Please tell me that we don’t have a test today…..
“Every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant”
Tov lehodos lashon ulizamer lishimchah elyon.
I take deep breaths and let all the stress whoosh out of me. and then I say, when I get home, I am going to eat the entire pantry.
Zeh lo chashuv and let it be a kapara.
“Gam Zu Le Tovah”
“A Day at a Time”
I don’t have one personally, but here are a few ones recommended historically:
1) the Yerushalmi says that one should always have on one’s lips the phrase from Tehillim, “Lord of Hosts, happy is the man who trusts in you.”
2) “Gamzu l’tovah,” as mentioned in Talmud Bavli in the story of Nachum Gamzu.
3) The Shulchan Aruch rules that one should always be in the habit of saying, “Everything the Merciful One does is for the good.”
4) Rebbe Nachman of Breslov recommended that people repeat the phrase “Ribbono shel olam,” when they find themselves unable to practice hisbodedus in his preferred sense of talking to Hashem in your own words.
live right
Hilarious.
