Positive Affirmation – I accept myself

by

accept myself

I accept myself – wholly and completely.

When I wake up each morning, I give thanks for my achievements and the person I have become. My reflection reminds me to be grateful for the unique characteristics that make me who I am.

I admit that accepting myself wholly and completely is an ongoing project.

At times, I may feel unhappy with traits that I strive to improve on. But that feeling doesn’t remain with me long because I remind myself that there is so much more I can celebrate about me and my life.

When I am dissatisfied with my body weight, for example, I avoid dwelling on that feeling. Instead, I ask myself what I plan to do about it.

I realize that I can get the results I want by putting in the work it takes to get them.

I am also learning to be happy with what I already have. My life and environment are really extensions of me – resulting from doing the best I can with the gifts and challenges of my life’s journey.

Another person would be ecstatic to have even a portion of what I have!

Today, I look in the mirror and see a divine creation. I commit to loving the person who looks back at me because I am truly blessed.

Affirmation Reflection Questions:

  1. What do I see when I look in the mirror?
  2. Am I content with who I am and what I have achieved?
  3. How can I more fully accept myself?

Personal Restoration – 7 Ways to Accept Yourself for Who You Are

by

accept yourself

Accepting yourself and your situation in life can be a difficult task. Do you tend to be more accepting of others’ mistakes than your own? If so, you’re being too hard on yourself! Those people aren’t better than you! You were created with a unique set of talents that no one else has. Plus, everyone makes mistakes. We’re only human!

Becoming more accepting of yourself and loving yourself for the fine person that you really are can lead you to greater happiness and a more fulfilling life.

Here are some excellent techniques you can use to help you better accept yourself:

  1. Focus on your positive qualities. It’s important that you identify and focus on your positive qualities, rather than concentrating on the qualities you feel negatively about.
  • Maintaining this positive focus will not only help you better accept yourself, but it’ll also make it easier for you to attain your goals by utilizing your talents to boost yourself forward.
  1. Consciously prevent negative thinking patterns. Negative thinking can really snowball fast if you don’t get ahead of it. It’s okay to be in a bad mood every once in awhile and have some negative thoughts; it happens to everyone. The trick is in learning how to push those negative thoughts aside and replace them with something positive.
  • Replace your negative thoughts about yourself with affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that affirm your positive qualities and help bring out the best in you. You can find affirmations in bookstores and on websites, or you can write your own.
  • If you believe in yourself, you can do it. It’s really that simple.
  1. Accept your imperfections. Another part of being human is having some imperfections. Instead of dwelling on the things you can’t change, accept them for what they are. Making the best of your life starts with accepting your imperfections.
  2. Use positive self-talk. Positive self-talk can help you achieve great things and change the way you think about yourself. Make it a point to give sincere compliments to yourself.
  • Compliment yourself for the good things about your looks, your positive qualities, and every time you do something right. Do this each and every day until it becomes a habit.
  1. Disregard what other people might think about your decisions. You’ll never make everyone else happy. If you try, you’ll soon discover that, not only will other people still be unhappy, but you’ll also be exhausted and unhappy yourself.
  • Make your own decisions according to your priorities and be confident that you’ve done what is right for you.
  1. Avoid worrying. Worrying will never help your situation. Rather than wasting your time by being engulfed in fear, take action to do what you can to make the situation better. If there’s nothing you can do to change it, focus on moving forward in other ways.
  2. Try your best and accept that you’ve done what you could. Do your best every day and be proud of yourself for your efforts. Let go of any negative thoughts,such as being angry with yourself for not being able to accomplish an impossible feat.
  • Even when you haven’t done your best, find a way to forgive yourself. Move on and commit to trying harder next time.

In changing the way you think about yourself, you’ll also change the way you see the world. Every day opens up new opportunities for you, and by utilizing positive thinking, you can make a real difference!

Personal Restoration – Building Self-Awareness

by

self awareness

Would you like to see some changes in your life? You can begin making these changes by building self-awareness. Self-awareness is a self-conscious state where you’re focused on yourself and your well being.

It’s often said, "We cannot change what we will not see." Self-awareness is the process of acknowledging not only our strengths, but our weaknesses as well. Becoming self-aware entails listening to your body and feelings and taking action based on what you hear.

If you’re in tune with your body, you’ll know when to say no to that extra piece of cake or say no to staying up late. You’ll become more in tune with your body the more often you respect it. Self-awareness is a process. The more we do it, the better we become at it.

How do you become self-aware?

These tips will help you in your journey to self-awareness:

  1. Reflect on who you are and who you’d like to become. While it’s important to notice your faults and weaknesses, it’s equally important to acknowledge your strengths.

    The better you understand yourself, the better you’re able to accept yourself as you are or change the things you’d like to be different. Self-awareness requires you to be honest with yourself and have the courage to change the things you can.

  • A full recognition of yourself gives you the opportunity to become the self-fulfilled person you’re destined to be.
Looking deep within your soul, you’ll find the many character traits that make you unique. Begin by acknowledging the positive things. This will strengthen and encourage you to face the less favorable character traits without abandoning your new venture.
On the other hand, when evaluating your strengths, don’t let your ego get the best of you. If you magnify either your strengths or your weaknesses, you can’t possibly get a realistic picture of yourself.
  • Until you examine the truth of who you are, you cannot move into the person you can become.
  1. Pay attention to your likes and dislikes. Far too often, people make life-changing choices without acknowledging deeply rooted personal preferences.
  • Before you embark on goals for your future, have a full awareness of the things you especially enjoy and those you prefer not to have in your life.
  1. Face your inner self. During your self-awareness process, think about your motivations, dreams, fears and stressors. Think about why you feel the way you do, then begin to work toward overcoming these inner battles.
  2. Ask your loved ones’ opinions. Talk to people who know you best and really listen to what they see as your dominant character traits and motivations. Ask them to be completely honest with you and be prepared to hear their opinions.
  • You may not be your own best judge of character. Accept the way your loved ones see you as part of this process.Consider their opinions along with your own analysis in order to see the full picture of who you are.

Self-awareness is a necessary part of self-esteem and change. If you want to grow as an individual, begin with a complete and honest picture of who you are now. This total awareness will start your journey to becoming the best you can be.

My blessings are incomparable

I have such an abundance of joy in my life today. The people with whom I surround myself love me. I have all of my basic needs met, and many of my wants. I am a person of character, and I am proud of who I am.

My blessings are incomparable!

Sometimes, I encounter people who focus on the negative. I use these interactions as opportunities to remember how very blessed I am. Not only do I have a myriad of joys and gifts, but I am present enough in my life to be thankful for them all.

Big or small, I take notice of the wonderful things that surround me.

Maybe today I notice the smell of rain on pavement, or the sight of my favorite flower popping up in someone’s garden.

Perhaps today I feel especially blessed by those I love. I may get a call from a relative or a hug from a friend. These are all blessings to me.

Gratitude is one of my greatest joys, and I seek to cultivate it at every opportunity. Each day, I make time to be thankful for all the ways in which I am blessed. This helps me to notice them when they arise. Because of this practice, I am fully present in both the loveliest parts of my life and the most challenging.

Today, I make it a point to notice the things that give me joy. By doing this, I become acutely aware of all the gifts I have been given. And then I know in every molecule of my being that my blessings are truly incomparable.

Affirmation Reflection Questions:

  • What blessings have I received recently in the realm of family and friends?
  • How about in the material world?
  • What is the relationship between gratitude and happiness?

7 Tips on Creating a Wealth Mindset

by

wealth mindsetWealth creation all starts with the mind. If you have an abundance attitude and wealth mindset, you’ll be able to attract the financial success you deserve!

While there are many paths to wealth, once you discover the abundance mindset, you’ve set yourself up for actually achieving your dreams. But how do you create this mindset in the first place?

Here are some tips that will help you develop a wealth mindset:

Wealth Mindset Tip #1: Visualize your goal. It’s not enough to just say you want to "be rich." You have to make the conscious decision to create a clear goal and visualize all the details. It’s best to focus all of your energy on one thing rather than spreading yourself too thin.

Wealth Mindset Tip #2: Be specific. Break down your goal into minute details and start thinking about the exact steps you need to take in order to get there.

Wealth Mindset Tip #3: Break up the plan. The goal seems huge at first, but once broken down into smaller, more manageable steps, it doesn’t seem so bad. Focus on each individual task that you need to complete, and then congratulate yourself once you achieve each step.

Wealth Mindset Tip #4: Take action. It’s easy to get caught up in the daydreaming and planning phases of your goals, but action is what it takes to get you there. Your dreams become realities with action; otherwise they’ll just remain dreams forever.

Wealth Mindset Tip #5: Seek a mentor. Sometimes people are tempted to go at it alone, but you’re not alone in this world! There are many out there that would like to see you succeed and it’s your responsibility to find these like-minded people. Perhaps a business mentor or life coach may be just what you need to give you that extra push.

Wealth Mindset Tip #6: Focus on your thoughts. If you’re experiencing confidence issues, it’s important to take time to focus on your thoughts. Do you really believe that you can achieve wealth? Are negative thoughts holding you back? If necessary,remind yourself that wealth is possible and that success is a very real possibility for you as well.

Wealth Mindset Tip #7: Believe you deserve it. Believe that you are worthy of achieving wealth. If you don’t think that you deserve it, you may unconsciously set yourself up for failure. In turn, you may actually become the roadblock that prevents you from the wealth you deserve.

Wealth Mindset Starts With Believing In Yourself

Do you truly want wealth? Then be willing to follow through on your action plan while maintaining a positive attitude.

In life there are plenty of snags in the road and your path to wealth won’t always be easy. If you maintain the perseverance to achieve, you’ll be more willing to seek solutions and find success.

Remember that you have to start somewhere. Take the time to truly appreciate your progress. So for example, if you’ve doubled your salary, that’s a huge feat to be celebrated! While you may not be rich yet, you’ve made progress on the way to wealth. Keep focused on your goal and you’ll continue to build an unstoppable momentum.

Gratitude and the Law of Attraction

by

gratitude and law of attraction

Gratitude or appreciation of what you already own is necessary for using the law of attraction to attract things you want. Every day when you wake up, give thanks. Think about the good things in your live and feel grateful. Appreciate your job (even if you don’t like it).

Feel gratitude for a place to live, for your food, your friends or anything else you can find to appreciate, appreciate it. A lot of people don’t experience enough of basic things like food, water and their own place to live. It’s natural that you want more, that you want to improve your standard of life, but first you need to feel gratitude for what you already possess.

Gratitude An Important Step In Activating The Law Of Attraction

If you start your day with feelings of gratitude you will feel good and you can keep that feeling all day.

But you should also write down something like this: "I am so happy and grateful that…" and then write what you would like to have. For example: "I am very happy and grateful that I make $1 million per year; that I have wonderful and loving wife…etc." Use the present tense, visualize the things you want, be grateful for them, and think about them as already yours. When you achieve them, you can add new things to your list. When you write about money, start first with amount you believe is possible and then increase the amount when you got the amount you’d written down. Be specific. Write something like this: "I choose to double my income this year and feel grateful for the opportunities to make it happen."

When you start writing gratitude affirmations, at first you might feel strange  using present tense for the things you want in the future. It’s important to train your subconscious mind to think about them in present tense. After some time of playing such "mental ping pong" your subconscious mind will obey and will help you attract the things you want.
