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.

*your results may vary

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 dont really have a choice.
• You are good enough. / Not the best, but youll do.
• Wherever you go, there you are. / The same bundle of neuroses, just in a different location.
• Need a break but cant 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.
