You got this

0 Shares

Hanging on the wall, in the room I paint and write in, is a metal sign; it says You Got This.

According to the online Cambridge Dictionary, you/you’ve got this, is an idiom, mainly US, and informal. It is used to tell someone that you believe they can or will succeed in dealing with something.

I bought the sign because I wasn’t sure that I could or would succeed at my this. And I wanted a better conversation with myself.
The sign reminds me to believe.

And.
I want to say the same thing to you.

You got this.

I don’t know what your this is. But. You got this.
I believe in you. I believe you can and will succeed in dealing with something.

“Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend.”
Elizabeth Gilbert

When you look in the mirror I hope you recognize yourself as a friend.
Please be kind to yourself.
Encourage yourself.
Be a friend to yourself.
And know that you matter and are deeply loved.

By me, and the one who made you.

¹³For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

Do you post signs on the wall to encourage yourself? Please let me know what helps you believe in yourself.

p.s The sign is made by Keystone Steel, it is 16×3 inches, and weighs 1.3 lbs. (It is not an affiliate link. Just a friendly shopping link.) You could also write, You got this. on a post-it note. But it might fall off the wall, and your dog might eat the paper.)
