I pause and listen to the air flowing in and out of my body.I avoid short, shallow breaths that end in my chest.Instead, when I breathe, I make sure to breathe deeply.

In the morning, when I go outdoors, I breathe in the freshness of the morning dew.Cleansing my body with fresh air helps me start my day off right.I enjoy breathing air free from pollutants.

My life is free from the effects of smoking.I do not smoke and I stay away from smoky places in order to protect my lungs.As a result, I breathe with ease.

On days when my schedule keeps me going at a fast pace, breathing helps me to be more productive and energized.Sending oxygen to my brain maximizes my brainpower. 

Concentrating on every breath, I envision a powerful cleansing force circulating through my body.I breathe in power and blow out stress.When I am frazzled, I take a breathing break to clear my mind, re-focus, and free my body from stress. 

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      What exercises can I do to increase the depth of my breaths?

2.      What life changes can I make to strengthen my respiratory system?

3.      Do I consciously avoid pollutants?

I allow myself to dream big dreams and set goals accordingly. Then I take action to make them happen.

When I set a goal, the first thing I do is divide the goal into a series of steps I can take to get me there. Each step is an easily attainable task. I schedule the easiest tasks at the beginning so I can jump right in and gain forward momentum toward my goal.

Easy tasks also keep me focused on my goal. Each task I complete successfully gives me confidence to keep moving. I know I am one step closer to my goal and it makes me eager to take the next step.

My action plan is my map to my treasure! Even if I need to change my path to go around a bump in the road, I do not get lost. By keeping my focus on my dream, I find my way back, certain that success awaits me.

I use tools, such as affirmations, meditation, and visualization to keep me focused on my goals. I see the trappings of success within me and I feel gratitude for this wonderful life.

Today, my plan is to remain focused on my goals and dreams, no matter what challenges may arise.

Self-Reflection Questions:

Organization leads to success, and success lead to increased confidence and responsibilities.

Once I have caught a glimpse of my own potential, I am more likely to make positive choices that are helpful.

When I shop wisely, I also shop with care.


My life is the same way. When I put time and energy into organizing my life, I am investing in my success.Whatever I invest in, I actively value.

Because I have invested in organizing my life, I have a guide for my days. I have a purpose and direction for my life. I am no longer a victim of circumstance but an active player in my own life.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      Do I allow myself to believe the myth that my destiny is out of my hands?
2.      Am I investing in my own success?
3.      Have I taken the time to plan out how I will achieve my dreams and goals?

I am a unique individual whose value is set by me, not by society. My social status, health and intelligence are exactly what they are meant to be, and it all works for me. I am exceptional and an exception to all rules set by others.

Society often sets the rule that attractiveness equals a lack of intelligence, but I am the exception to the rule. I am both attractive and intelligent.

The medical world tries to set rules regarding health and outcomes; I am an exception to those rules, too.

There may be many statistics that makes assumptions about the majority, but what those stats don't take into consideration is that no two people are exactly alike. There is always an exception to the rule.

Even if I fit a specific statistic, I still feel that I am an exception. I do not like to be considered average. I soar above! You cannot shove me into a majority because I stand out from the crowd, not blend in.

I am, and always will be, the exception to the rule because I am not made out of average material.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      What makes me exceptional?
2.      In what ways am I an exception to the rule?
3.      How does it make me feel to be a positive example of an exception?

]]><![CDATA[I am able to speak my thoughts with kind words.]]>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:54:31 +0700http://positive-affirmations.weebly.com/1/post/2009/06/i-am-able-to-speak-my-thoughts-with-kind-words.html

I am committed to fostering healthy relationships, therefore I speak my thoughts kindly. I value my own thoughts and let go of the idea that anyone else's thoughts are more valid than my own.

I abandon the childish notion that people should be able to read my mind, and instead use effective words to communicate with others. I am willing to take the first step toward communication and resolution.

I also let go of the idea that I have to be sure I am right about an issue before I speak up about it. It is enough for me to tell someone with whom I have conflict how their words or actions make me feel.

My goal is to open doors of communication, not to prove myself right. I listen to others because I desire mutual understanding and the long-term health and strength of my relationships.

I set aside the desire to retaliate when I am hurt, knowing that nothing good can come of this and any feelings of vindication are short-lived.

Instead, I keep the big picture in mind and speak kindly, aiming only for clear communication and deeper, stronger relationships.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      Do I value my own thoughts as highly as those of others?  
2.      Do my words reflect my desire for communication and greater understanding?
3.      When I am in conflict with someone, do I strive to be patient?

My deadlines are important to me and with careful planning I am able to achieve anything I set my mind to. I plan ahead to ensure I am at my best in order to become the success that I deserve.

 I make plans to achieve my goals without stress. When I do this, I confidently and calmly meet my aspirations.

When I create an effective plan that helps me meet my deadlines, goals and desires in life, I am able to accomplish more with ease. I enjoy the success I create for myself.

Visualizing my goals with their deadlines helps me create a solid plan of action. I also leave wiggle room for unexpected changes in case things come up. This allows me to accept little bumps along the way without losing sight of where I am meant to be.

I enjoy the relaxed feelings I have when those little bumps come up because I have left room for them in my plans. In turn, I enjoy my journey along the way and I celebrate my success when I reach the finish line victoriously.

Today, I carefully construct my plans and remember to leave myself some wiggle room. By doing this, I can meet my deadlines no matter what obstacle may arise in my path. I can enjoy my journey and feel the satisfaction of success.
 
Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      Have I planned ahead to meet my deadlines?

2.      Have I allowed wiggle room in my plans?

3.      Can I take delays in stride because I have planned for such possibilities?

My partner and I are able to have a deeper level of communication because I am fully aware of my thoughts and feelings. I know what I want to say because I have thought it through and talked realistically and honestly with myself first.

My relationships are important to me and I value my ability to communicate my inner thoughts effectively. I am able to do this because I practice what I want to say before I say it.

Coming to a full understanding of myself allows me to think through any frustrations and realize how my words may affect my partner.

I can vent frustrations, share excitement, and be prepared for conversations by first reflecting on my own needs. Oftentimes I find that what I really want to say is very different from the way I first felt about the situation.

When I am open and honest with myself first, I can then convey my feelings to my partner with confidence. My relationship is stronger because I first had a conversation with me.

Today, I prepare for communication with my partner by first talking with myself. I choose to take the time to vent any frustrations and sift through unnecessary dialogue in my own conversation before I have it with my partner.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      Have I thought through what I want to communicate to my partner?

2.      Have I had the conversation with myself first?

3.      How did the conversation with myself lead to a better communication experience?

My plan brings me the confidence to forge ahead, knowing that I deserve great success.

When creating my plan, I divide the task into small, attainable actions. This gives me step-by-step instructions of what to do from beginning to end. When I complete the simplest of tasks first, I build a powerful forward momentum.

Even though I know my plan is sound, I don't set it in stone. If circumstances change, I adapt with ease. Changing course from time to time is okay, just as long as I am still moving toward my goal.

I have the tools and techniques that I can use to relieve stress in times of challenge, bring confidence in times of doubt, and energize me if my motivation wanes.

When obstacles arise, I take them in stride. If I'm feeling stressed, I simply take a moment to breathe deeply. Deep breathing relaxes my body and gives my mind a surge of oxygen to help clarify my thoughts.

If doubt creeps in, I use positive self-talk and affirmations to replace any negative thoughts I may have. This renews my confidence in my abilities.

To keep my energy at its best, I eat right, exercise, get enough rest, and take time to rejuvenate my spirit with meditation and prayer.

My step-by-step action plan empowers me to overcome any challenge and accomplish any task.

Today, I choose to tackle my tasks with renewed energy and confidence. With my action plan and set of valuable tools, I can take swift action toward success.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.      What tasks am I delaying?

2.      Have I written an action plan?

3.      How do my tools and techniques help me accomplish my tasks?
