Fear is a healthy, natural emotion necessary for survival. Instead of folding in the face of fear, I utilize it to stir my courage. Fear renders it possible for me to experience a degree of bravery stored inside of me.

Courage is the presence of action amid fear. My courage brings me above my fears and into a place where dreams come true. Because of courage, my heart is bursting with bold hope.

I annul the power of fear in my life, which tries to dictate my actions. With faith illuminating the way, I take risks beyond everything I have accomplished before. I shake off timidity from lack of confidence and change it to courage. 

I dare to dream outside of the limits set on me from my childhood. I do not believe negative words voiced about me as a child. I think my Creator has greater purposes for my life.

I seek to know my purpose with a heart prepared to do whatever it takes to see my destiny fulfilled. By clothing myself in uplifting peace, I stand up to the fears that ...

I listen to others because I care about them and realize that it is in my best interest.

I recognize there is a great deal more to discover about life. I have learned a lot already and will continue to do so because of events to come. If I am open to lessons from individuals with more life experiences, I equip myself with more understanding than I would have achieved.

By listening to others, I safeguard myself from potential pitfalls. At times other people's pasts give them an invaluable perspective in my life. They can alert me to hazards that I may not see. I remain open to their guidance, knowing that those who love me speak out of a desire for my well-being.

I also have faith in community. I am convinced that women are all better off when we have firm bases to fall back on. And such a base takes care, time, and work to build.

We all have ups and downs. While I might feel self-sufficient and content in life right now, my life may be changed in a week, month, or year....

I exchange words and feelings with others positively and calmly.

I make sure I am in a positive frame of mind when I speak with others. I do my best to be mindful of the ideas I want to communicate to them.

I get rid of feelings of anger or frustration before I participate in communications. Planning in this way allows me to remain calm and communicate constructively.

It is not easy to communicate with others if they are defensive. I lower their defenses and offer a peaceful platform for positive communication. This opens doors for others also to communicate positively.

Constructive communication empowers me. I am in control, focused, and effective. I know I am objective in my communications with others.

I communicate in a calm, constructive way that offers a peaceful setting. I stay positive no matter the situation. I am confident that I can walk away with my head held high. I feel good about my ability to remain positive and peaceful in my communications.

Experiencing the variety of life invigorates me. The world is a more remarkable place because people offer a wonderful assortment of God-given personalities and perspectives.

I don’t believe people will mirror me because of the wonderful variety the world offers. I realize I don’t have to agree with everyone or be close friends with each person I encounter. This knowledge permits me to enjoy people for who they are.

Understanding the value of variety is essential to me. Looking at how I am unique from others helps me appreciate how unique and special I am. I also love to discover the extraordinary talents and abilities of others.

My approachable and accepting behavior rewards me. Being approachable has brought so much goodness into my life.

My life is enriched by variety. I benefit from new relationships and accept people as they are.

Cultivating new relationships offers me perspective and appreciation for views of others. I learn from people who have experiences di...

I can go with the flow.

I accept that the only one I have control of is me! I cannot control actions, opinions, or thoughts of anyone else. But, I manage my reactions to all that life throws at me.

I release my desire to control situations. I refuse to let frustration cloud my mind. I concentrate on what I can do in any condition.

Although I cannot control everything, I am powerful. I possess tools that help me point my life in the direction of accomplishing goals in spite of life's distractions.

Time management skills help me maintain focus and organization. I set aside time in my schedule for dealing with distractions without losing focus on my priorities.

Affirmations are tools that help guide my life to where I want to go. No matter what life throws at me, I replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

Even during chaotic times, I can use breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and meditating on God's word to bring back harmony and peace to my soul.

Each moment, each day is an opportunity to make the most of the time I am blessed with by my Heavenly Father. I believe life is a series of opportunities to be the best possible version of myself.

Opportunities to make today meaningful come all the time. I avoid taking them for granted because I do not know when those chances might run out. I commit to using them wisely.

My interactions with others are positive because I choose to use a smile as my introduction. A sincere smile makes the world a more joyful place.

Deciding to embrace a positive outlook is a great way to have a full and rewarding life. My satisfaction with life increases, and I live without regret.

When one moment is gone, I want to be able to look back and define it as a well-spent moment. That means working well with others and avoiding confrontation that troubles the soul.

A peaceful existence comes from having serenity at my core.

Within the noise and chaos of the world around me, I choose to see the positive side of life. I believe that there is always something to smile about if you look.

Being one with my thoughts allows me to reflect on my past experiences. If I take time to reflect, I recall intimate and memorable moments with my loved ones. Sometimes a kind gesture or a funny joke brings my heart so much joy.

Even when I am in the midst of a difficult situation, I can smile because I am alive. I feel grateful for the ability to work through challenges.

I smile at the bravery of little children learning to swim for the first time. Fear inhibits a lot of adults, so I look to the example of kids to motivate myself. Their model of free-living is enough to make my heart sing.

When I think back to my sense of fashion as a teenager, I smile with pride. It feels good always to embrace my individuality, regardless of what anyone else says.

When someone assumes they know me, I smile to myself bec...

I get out of my comfort zone and appreciate everything accessible to me.

Moving out of my comfort zone from time to time opens a whole new world of opportunities. Though I can have many rewards remaining warm and cozy inside my comfort zone, I understand that getting out of it can bring even more!

My comfort zone holds all the comforts of home. Inside my house, I feel confident. I am self-assured. I know where everything is located. I arrange it according to my likes and dislikes. I am in control of my life if I am in my home.

I understand that when I step outside my home, everything changes. Life can throw unforeseen challenges at me. But even with such a risk, I know that I could never live my life only inside my home. That would be too restricted and limiting!

In the same way, I know living inside my comfort zone limits me to a very narrow range of experiences. Even though I am comfortable and confident there, where is the excitement? Do I want to limit myself like t...

I remain thankful for the blessing I have to be free. With freedom comes the great task of managing my independence sensibly. I want to rule over my passions rather than becoming a victim of desire.

Part of living free means that I am held responsible for what I do with my passions. Emotions are an important part of me, although I also have to learn to govern my feelings to achieve inner peace.

I break free from emotional bondage because I have power over my feelings. My feelings do not rule over my mind, as my mind is more powerful.

There are seasons of my life when only my mind knows the way. I let my mind lead me as I follow with behaviors in an act of faith. In time, grace lines up my feelings and ideas.

I lack desire to continue because I let disillusionment or disappointment deprive me of joy. During those critical times, I recall that the great purpose for which I am destined stays unaffected by my situations.

Other times I am so thrilled with life, I find it...

I savor the moments that fill my life because each day is only lived once. My life is composed of unique and special moments.

Being mindful of the gift of time facilitates me to live a prosperous life. Opting to be conscious of each precious moment that passes fills me with sweet joy.

Life overflows with wonderful moments - playing with a child, embracing a loved one, reading a good book, conversing with friends, doing well in my career, spending time with my family, or resting after a long day’s work. I am grateful for each moment.

Every day is an occasion for me to enjoy life. Recognizing the value of every moment lets me savor the joys of life. A wonderful experience can stay with me for as long as I remember it.

Knowing I am creating good memories and will look back on these experiences with laughter, fondness, and joy makes every moment even more priceless. I see these memories as wonderful gifts to my future self.
