Keep the great thoughts flowing!

I received this at a luncheon for a women's organization in September of 1998. I have handed it out at many workshops I conduct for women. To read it silently is reassuring....to read it out loud (especially with others) is incredibly liberating and empowering. Women empowering ourselves -- what a concept! I don't know if you can find a place for this in your self esteem section, but I was so impressed with your site, that I wanted to share this. Enjoy!

Affirmation

I like who I am. I am glad to be me. I have decided to be the best me I can be. Today is a good day. Today is the day I choose to be my best, to do my best. There are other good days, too, but today is special and so am I. I have decided to win in my life. I am in control, on top, in tune, in touch, and nothing can stand between me and the goals I have set for myself. I can do it. Just watch me and I will prove it. That's it. Period. (Author unknown)

Affirm Yourself

Day By Day

by Suzanne E. Harrill, M.Ed., L.P.C.

I stop taking myself so seriously. I laugh at myself.

I allow myself to see humor in my life.

When I take myself too seriously, I miss enjoying the moment by being "in my head," practicing being right.

As I lighten up, I use laughter to make it through many of the rough spots.

I notice feelings are expressed and tension released when I laugh at myself.

I am worthy of all the good and infinite abundance in my life.

I accept myself exactly as I am, I am good.

What I think of me matters most.

Today I will only look within me to fill any void.

I will be gentle with myself in all situations today.

I respectfully share myself with others.

I allow myself to feel all of my emotions, they are all good.

I will trust my instincts and have faith in myself.

I do not let hurt develop into anger and ruin my future happiness.

I am valuable and spending time alone is time well spent.

I forgive all past experiences that hurt me.

Where ever I am, I am always safe.

The Perfect Present

We learn from the past and we plan for the future. But it is a mistake to put all of our energy on either focusing on past regrets and disappointment or toward tomorrow's anxiety and worry. Why? Because the real reality is the present moment. Some people call this the perfect present.

When we are fully present in the moment we don't worry about food or how much we weigh, or anything else. Instead we live each hour fully. We listen, and actually hear, when our children talk to us. We are awake and aware of the needs of others. Out of our spiritual energy we have lots to give. We are fully, blissfully alive in whatever we are doing each moment. Life is good.

Mantra for the day:

Today I choose to live in the perfect present.

Today I use my creative skills to help me achieve my goals.

Today I am gentle with myself. I look at the expectations I have for myself in a realistic fashion. I know what I am capable of and when I can stretch to expand the realm of possibilities.

I create misery for myself by building unrealistic expectations. When there is no chance of achievement, dissatisfaction results. I refuse to build expectations that are a set-up for failure. I also view life realistically for others, expecting only that they are true to who they are.

When I view situations grounded in possibility; when I differentiate between truth and reality; when I work towards possible expectations, I am living gently with myself and my neighbor.

Today I walk gently with myself and my neighbor.
