I am of the belief that everyone, no matter what their level of self-esteem or mental health, should do these every once in a while. That said, mine are affirming that these are okay in moderation–nothing to extremes.

• I can and will feel a wide range of emotions, positive, negative, and neutral–from sadness, to anger, to boredom, to happiness–and that’s okay.
• I can and will express a wide range of emotions–and, as long as I recognize them for what they are, that’s okay.
• There will be some days in which I will dislike or hate all of humankind for the actions of a few–and as long as this isn’t every day, that’s okay.
• I can be mean, spiteful, and jealous–and that’s okay.
• I can be sweet, kind, and loving–and as long as I don’t let people walk over me because of that, that’s okay.
• I will sometimes and in some circumstances, express feelings and opinions that aren’t in line with current feminist thinking (i.e. aren’t feminist), even though that’s how I identify–and that’s okay.
• I will sometimes be a hypocrite–and as long as I recognize that within myself, that’s okay.
• I will sometimes pass judgment on people because of their actions, whether I know the person or not–and, as long as I don’t treat them as lesser because of these actions, that’s okay.
• Sometimes I want to be left alone by people and animals alike–and that’s okay.
• Sometimes I crave the attention of people–and that’s okay.
• There will be some days in which I will just want to feel loved–and that’s okay.
• Sometimes I will lack patience for certain people in my life for things that they cannot really control–and as long as I don’t act like an ass to them because of this, that’s okay.
• There will be some days I will like the cat(s) better than humans–and that’s okay.
• I can and will use my privilege in my favor sometimes.  This includes being straight-appearing when I am out in public, especially with my partner, identifying as queer in certain spaces where I know identifying as bi will be seen in a less than positive light, being female, being young, and being raised and living middle-class as well as being intelligent–and, as long as I recognize these privileges within myself, and know that I need to combat them and others in our society–that’s okay.
• I have sex for many reasons: because I’m horny, because I’m feeling especially attractive that day, because I’m feeling especially attracted to my partner, because I’m bored, because I’m seeking validation of myself as a sexually attractive human being, because I want to make sure my birth control is worth the money I pay for it, because I just want to–and that’s okay.
• I read erotica and watch pornography–and, as long as I recognize what impact the pornography industry has on the world and actively seek out porn that is made by feminist people/organizations, or, lacking that, amateur porn that appears to have participants that have given full and enthusiastic consent to both the sex and the filming of it–that’s okay.
• There are some days in which I feel like I need external validation for my beliefs and opinions–and that’s okay.
• Some meals I will eat on my bed–and, as long as I’m careful about spillage, that’s okay.
• Some times I will do things the easy way rather than the hard way, even though it might be more fulfilling–and that’s okay.
• I am not a particularly organized person–and that’s okay.
• Some days I feel like I should wear make-up to feel beautiful–and that’s okay.
• Most days, however, I don’t wear make-up because I know I look just fine without it–and that’s okay.
• Some days I feel particularly femme, so I wear make-up, skirts, heels, and shirts that show off my cleavage.  Some days I feel butch, so I just wear jeans and a moderately baggy t-shirt and only wash my face.  Some days I will feel right in the middle and I’ll do some combination of the above.  No matter how I express myself–that’s okay.
• Sometimes I feel mad or sad at someone or something for no apparent reason–and that’s okay.
• Sometimes I am more attracted to women than men.  Sometimes I feel more attracted to men than women.  These are both okay.
• Some days I will be lazy, whether because of mood or sickness–and that’s okay.
• Sometimes I will not be the best poly person I can be–jealous, pushing to be somewhere where a partner or metamour may not be comfortable being, complaining about circumstances that are beyond the control of my partner, not really feeling communicative–and, as long as I can recognize these behaviors in myself, that’s okay.
• Sometimes I will be feeling very apolitical and uninspired by our political system–and that’s okay.
• There will be days where I feel like the world is conspiring against me–and that’s okay.

Quite an extensive list there, huh?  I’m sure there’s more, I’m just ready to be finished with this.
