National bestselling author Dave Tarnowski, the visionary behind the 2.4-million+ follower @DisappointingAffirmations Instagram account, presents a life-changing deck of hilariously realistic affirmation cards that offer guidance and sympathetic wisdom for a disappointing world.
Toxic positivity is a drag. Failure is always an option. Use these affirmation cards to find clear-eyed, realistic inspiration and motivation to cut through the bullshit, get things done, or don't. Select a card daily, weekly, or moment-by-moment as the need arises, for such guidance as:
- You will get through this, I promise you. / You don’t really have a choice.
- You are good enough. / Not the best, but you’ll do.
- Wherever you go, there you are. / The same bundle of neuroses, just in a different location.
- Need a break but can’t get away? / Go on a spiral.
- Move the fuck on already.
Why do something today when you can make it future you's problem? Maybe you need to accept yourself for the hot mess that you are? Or hear that the bare minimum is sometimes good enough? These cards are here to help.
Curated to serve as weekly, daily, or moment-by-moment affirmations as needed, these expectation-setting cards acknowledge the sometimes-hidden feelings we all have and make light of a disappointing world. Each card offers a way forward, a way of seeing things for what they are, or permission to sit this one out. Have a panic attack. You’ve earned it.
