Sometimes one simple thought can change your entire perspective. Sometimes it just takes one simple thought to bring you peace of mind and liberate you from the voices inside your head.
A woman asked other women in a popular online forum, “What is the most liberating thought you’ve ever had?” Here are some of the most popular answers.
1. “People don’t think about me nearly as much as I think they think about me.”

3. “The way people treat you has little to do with how they feel about you and a lot to do with how they feel about themselves.”
4. “That it is okay. Everything is okay.“
5. “My existence is not dependent on how attractive others find me.”
6. “I exist to live and be amazed at the fact that I’m alive at all.”
7. “I don’t have to follow the life script of getting married, buying a house, having kids, etc.”
8. “I don’t have to explain myself to anyone.”
9. “No” is a complete sentence.”
10. “I am enough.”
11. “Enjoying your time alone doesn’t make you lonely.”
12. “The only person you can rely on to take care of you is yourself.”
13. “Not everyone has to like me, and I don’t have to like them, either.”
