I am a strong and more confident woman since I can overcome conflict. I make a conscious decision to examine difficulties, not run from them. I can also stand my ground.
I am the woman I am now because of everything that has occurred in my life. My experiences have allowed me to be braver, stronger, and look at things from a fresh perspective. I learn from difficulties and succeed.
Many people have conflicts in their life. I am no exception. However, I refuse to be a victim, nor do I allow the conflict to affect me adversely. I choose, instead, to conquer all disputes.
I have the option to let the conflict win or to overcome the conflict and be victorious. I decide to conquer.
I can survive all that life throws at me, and I make the most of all opportunities. I continually apply what I have learned to make my life what I want it to be.
I lend my experience and strength to others so that they may also be victors over their conflicts.
Today, I live life as a victo...
I permit myself to be open to my feelings, good and bad. I realize positive and negative emotions are parts of our lives. By staying open to both, I stay emotionally balanced.
If I open myself to go through all feelings, I will know some negative ones. What goes up must come down. There will be good; there will also be bad. It is the way of keeping a balance. But, in my life, good far outweighs bad.
I accept that I have feelings like anger, grief, regret, and sadness. I also enjoy positive feelings of confidence, happiness, joy, and peace.
I will not permit negative feelings to construct a wall and block out all emotions. I know it is far more worthwhile to feel everything.
Today I gladly experience all my feelings. If bad things transpire, I acknowledge the emotions and deal with them positively.
By staying open and accepting all emotions, I healthily deal with them. This lets me stay open and honest with myself and others.
Self-Reflection Questions:
I know habits are patterns of behavior that are automatic responses or actions. This takes place after doing a specific routine for a duration of time until it becomes instinctive. I have had many habits during my life.
By focusing on healthy and productive routines each day, I begin to create positive habits. Nourishing my body with healthy foods every morning is a healthy habit I maintain each day. Setting aside time each day for self-reflection and prayer has also become a positive habit in my life.
My character is made stronger by positive habits. These habits have become a part of me. I am a stronger and healthier person because of my healthy routines. I continue to create healthy behaviors and habits, leading to my positive transformation and growth. I become healthier as I practice my healthy routines.
Today, I honor my existing positive habits and continue them because they are a part of who I am. I create more positive behaviors and continue doing so until they ar...
My life is my own to live as I please. And my choices are mine to make. Therefore, friends and family members cannot pressure me into decisions they would like me to make.
I strive to be friendly and respectful to all people. However, I stand my ground when people become overly needy or start making demands of me.
Like everything else in my life, my time is my own. If I am not in the mood to frequently visit a family member or friend, so be it. My only actual obligation is to my immediate family; everyone else gets portions of the time I have accessible. They each get only the time I am willing to dedicate to them.
I make it a point always to respect the boundaries of others. I refrain from pushing, prying, or overextending my welcome. I would feel like a burden if I were to push myself onto others in such a manner. It is only fair that my friends and family respect my need to control my own time and decisions.
I have the capacity to say no to others without feeling gui...
Happiness is not yesterday's memories or tomorrow's hopes; it happens today.
I treasure the enjoyable memories of 'days gone by'. But, I do not live in the past. Also, I let go of any predisposition to put off my life while waiting for a better day. Tomorrow might not ever come!
Today is what I have, and I collect happiness from each minute of it.
When the day begins, I am happy to live another wonderful day in my life. I peek out the window and note how lovely the dew is as it reflects the sun's light. I hear birds singing in beautiful harmony as they also rejoice in this brand new day.
I relish the pleasant aroma of my morning coffee and enjoy the warmth of the sun when I go out the door to meet whatever adventure life brings me today. When every day starts this well, how could anything diminish its pleasure?
My day is a parade of wondrous moments, and I joyfully receive the pleasure of every one of them.
My husband, flowers, puppies, kittens, butterflies, des...
I form new habits to enhance my life and improve my overall satisfaction. I am resolved to keep on practicing the healthy habits I have established. The power necessary to successfully form and keep new habits is in me.
I have tolerance for myself when creating challenging new habits. At times it takes days or months to form a new behavior pattern. I have the patience to keep trying.
Repetition is my key to success. To change new activities into habits, I must exercise repetition. I achieve my new activities with hard work and great effort daily.
If I feel persuaded to give up, I push myself to do it again. I communicate my goals with those closest to me and gather their support. With the help of my loved ones and my reminders, I am successful!
When establishing new habits, I take them one day and one habit at a time. An easy-going pace helps me progressively make a long-lasting change. I forgive myself when there are setbacks and jump right back into the saddle to pr...
My past is only a memory of positive and negative experiences, which have taught me valuable life lessons. I have shaken off the restraints that once held me captive to my past. Leaving my past behind me, I can now feel free in my present.
The trials that took place in my past remain part of my history. Though I do not forget about my past, I am confident in correcting previous mistakes and paving a new transformational track for myself. I am shrewder and more matured now than I was in years past.
At present, who I am is a collection of the pieces of my past fit all together, forming a stronger and wiser me. I purge myself of the hurt that some parts caused me, but I learned the lessons.
While I learned many lessons from my past, I move forward to grow and create ways for new experiences. I forgive myself for my past missteps and make every effort to make better choices today.
I acknowledge that I am worthy of friendship and success even though I had a tough start. Toda...
The changing of the year often generates parties and excess. Instead of being careless, I choose to meet the New Year safely. I softly say goodbye to the year that is departing. I contemplate on all it brought me - good and bad - and choose to focus on the good. There are many accomplishments I am proud of in the past year.
Looking back at things that took place last year, I decide what I need for the New Year. I realize what to avoid and what I want to see more of in the upcoming months. I choose happiness, joy, and peace. These are all gifts I can bestow on myself. I consider their importance and value and vow to keep them in my life throughout the New Year.
Because I possess these gifts, I share them with others. I make the world better and brighter since I am happy to share what I know. I freely offer my happiness and joy to others. I present them peace with no strings attached. I get much satisfaction from encouraging others.
I serenely let go of one year as I greet th...
As the snowflakes begin to fall, I become a child again. I love to catch snowflakes on my tongue. I love to watch the first snow of the season gently change the landscape. I especially love the giant snowflakes that look like angels in flight. They are my favorite.
I am full of childlike wonder as the world changes from orange to white.
As the world shifts, my heart becomes light. I think of times in my youth of sliding down the hills of snow on a sled. I can even hear the ‘shushing’ of my skis right now. I hear the echo of friends calling through the hills of white.
I cannot help but smile and feel like warm cocoa inside.
Becoming a child again helps me to see the world through a fresh set of eyes. No longer do I have the weight of the adult world on my shoulders.
I am free to be silly. I am free to laugh. I am allowed to do anything I want. Wow, this feels good!
This time, I am going to go through the Christmas season with the eyes of a child. I am going to e...
Special seasons during the year provide me with a feeling of gratitude. At those moments, I take time to reflect on my blessings. Most of my blessings are a result of the support I get from loved ones.
My connection with my family and friends deepens during special times each year. When I am prompted to reflect on the good times in my life, I immediately reach out to them. Family gatherings, gift-giving, singing Christmas carols, and special meals are also inseparable parts of Christmas.
I use each opportunity I get to tell my family how important they are. It is easy for me to pinpoint their influence in my life.
When I am at odds with a friend, special seasons allow us to rekindle our relationship. I use those times to consider the role we play in each other's lives. I acknowledge that a season of caring and love is the best time to offer and receive forgiveness.
Houses aglow, parties with friends, and memories made with family—Christmas truly is the most wonderful t...
