My confidence is strong

My confidence is strong.

Although I face some challenging moments in my day, I firmly believe I can make it through them. 

My life experiences help me build the confidence to proceed ahead when the path gets bumpy.

The more I live, the more I learn. I absorb new knowledge each day. Learning new things helps me to live a more enlightened life.

My self-reliance allows me to navigate whatever obstacles I encounter. When I acknowledge I am free from self-doubt, many possibilities emerge. I believe I can do anything I put my mind to.

As I resolve many tough issues that surround me, my trust in myself and my abilities grows.

If I want to move somewhere, I can. If I want to take part in a certain work project, I tell my supervisor. My confidence allows me to reach for the stars and makes things happen.

Today, I assess my confidence level to ensure I am living a happy, low-stress life. 

I recognize that the more hopeful and positive I feel about my abilities, the sweeter my life can be. 

My level of anxiety is low because I have a high level of self-confidence.

I succeed because I persist

I succeed because I persist.

I silence the voice of self-criticism

I silence the voice of self-criticism.

I turn a deaf ear to self-criticism. Such disparagement can paralyze me on the road to self-improvement. 

Instead of stopping progress, I stop critical thoughts lurking in my mind.

I unmask self-criticism when it comes disguised as self-reflection or self-improvement. The difference between the voice of self-criticism and self-improvement is that self-criticism focuses on what I have done wrong, self-improvement looks to the future.

Through positive reflection, I focus on my strengths to create a better me. 

I refrain from punishing myself or fixating about what I have done wrong in the past. 

I strive to nurture my strong points and improve the other areas.

The voice of self-criticism attempts to fill me with shame by reminding me of my mistakes. I stand up to that voice by focusing on my positive interactions and successes, instead of playing shameful thoughts over and again.

I surrender the areas of my life that need improvement to my Creator.

I give up trying to be perfect or trying to be like someone else and purely embrace who I was created to be.

I exhibit grace and mercy toward myself, forgiving for my shortcomings and accepting myself the way I am. I acknowledge that I am a work in progress and I continue on my quest to be a better person. I am strengthened by staying positive about the future.

Today, I shut down self-criticism and focus on positive thoughts. I trade negative criticism for positive reflection in order to fly above and beyond my dreams.

  1. Do I recognize the difference between self-criticism and self-improvement?
  2. What are my three greatest strengths?
  3. What can I do to silence the voice of self-criticism when it creeps into my thoughts?

I resist settling for less than I deserve

I resist settling for less than I deserve.

In situations of desperation, it is sometimes easy to grab at the first solution that presents itself. But I know I deserve to be justly rewarded. So, I continue my search for an optimum resolution.

My talent and ability speak for themselves.

When faced with financial difficulty, it is tempting to settle for the first available source of income. But it is pointless burdening myself to earn less than my effort deserves.

I ask for compensation that aligns with my skill level. 

My search for fair compensation continues until I find a source that is willing to be fair to me. Although times are sometimes difficult, I have faith and keep pushing through.

My commitment to my value is also evident in my relationships. Knowing what I bring to the table makes it easy for me to choose a partner.

I deserve to be treated kindly and respectfully in all aspects of my life. 

My heart is pure, and my intentions are sincere. The only expectation I have is to receive the same treatment that I give to others.

When I encounter someone that tries to trick me into settling for less, I point out their unfairness. 

I tell others when their actions are unkind.

Today, I know that my value is unquestionable. The worth I bring to each situation speaks for itself. I proudly declare who I am to the world and insist upon being acknowledged with fairness.

I protect my heart from being taken for granted.

The ultimate responsibility for my well-being lies with me. Taking care of myself affords me the opportunity to take care of others. I safeguard my heart, so it is open to giving and receiving love.

I open my heart to anyone who reaches out to me. 

I want to be a blessing to others and ease their burdens.

At times, others view my kindness as a sign of weakness. When they make efforts to abuse my goodness and sincerity, I stand up for myself. I wish them well and walk away because I know that there are others deserving of my love.

When I take the time to evaluate my new acquaintances, I am able to identify which ones are sincere. I appreciate those who are willing to meet me halfway.

I am honest with others about how their actions impact me. It is important to speak up about how I am feeling instead of bottling it up inside. This prevents the negative feelings from festering.

Maintaining a solid emotional foundation allows me to remember my worth. Whenever I find it difficult to convince someone of it, I know it is time for us to part ways.

I replenish my love by receiving love from others. 

That balance is important to keeping my heart protected.

Today, my openness to love attracts a lot of love from others who mean me well. I am honored to be able to be the rock for people who are committed to my emotional well-being as well.

I make time to relax

I make time to relax.

Life can get hectic. Many times, I am awake before sunrise and the pace increases throughout the day. At sundown, I am frequently still trying to complete chores or make a list of things to accomplish tomorrow. Even so, I still find time to relax.

When I relax, it is like plugging into my charger. I am rejuvenated to get through the next day or activity.

Relaxing for even just a few minutes brings balance to my chaotic life. 

Resting is a wonderful contrast from running errands, working through lunch hour at work, and doing the house chores in the evening. Making time for some “R and R” shows that I care about myself.

I try to vary the ways I relax each day. Yesterday, I might have read part of the novel I wanted to read. Today, I may plan to watch an old movie. Tomorrow might bring a long walk in the park after the kids leave for school. I squeeze out a bit of time each day to relax.

The minutes or hours I allow myself to relax make me feel special. 

I know I am worthy of having time each day to rest and do whatever I want.

Today, I intend to make notes in my calendar or set an alarm on my phone to ensure that I make time to rest every single day.
