it was really helpful for me with weight loss. no one was coming to save me because no one else COULD save me, i am the only one with the power to change my health and that phrase worked for me in that situation. I think there's positives and negatives that come with it

i agree and i do think as people we have an innate right to help others where we can for no reason or motivation other than it simply being the right thing to do for your fellow human. on the other hand… saying this phrase to myself shakes me out of paralyzing anxiety and forces me to do something i need to do. bc nobody is coming to help me and i need to find my own way out if i want to help others.
