Deadlines do not scare me. I let go of worry and concentrate on getting things done.

I am relaxed when faced with deadlines because I plan ahead and break my task into manageable pieces.

I know that procrastination only makes things more difficult for me, so I start on a project as early as I can in order to ease the pressure as the deadline approaches.

I let go of the idea that things will just come together and instead take the time to make solid plans.

I decide early if I’m going to need more supplies, more research, or more help.

This way I have the time to find just what I need in a relaxed and thoughtful manner.

I organize my steps, dividing the task into pieces that I know I can handle.

I am far more productive when I choose to do a little bit every day, than if I save it all for a last minute crunch.

I know when to delegate and have people lined up who can help me if, despite my best efforts, I find myself in a bind near the end of a project.

Because I have taken the time to help them when they were the ones in need, I know I will be able to count on them to help me.

I am proactive. By approaching each project with care and thoughtfulness, I am confident that I will be able to reach full completion without undue worry.

How do you give yourself time to deal with unexpected issues that might arise?

How have you fostered a team mentality by your own willingness to help others so you can get help when you need it?

Because I am organized, I am able to minimize my daily stress.

I take the necessary time to be organized because I know that doing so minimizes my daily stress.

While it is sometimes tempting to rush into a work week or a project, I recognize that my time is like money; I have to spend some to gain some.

I organize my time to facilitate my goals by pruning off activities that drain me of my time and energy.

I recognize that, like everyone else, my time is not limitless.

I choose to set aside specific times for those activities that are important to me and I let the rest go.

I set aside time at the beginning of each project to make sure I have a clear picture of where I am going and that I have the resources I need to get there.

This way I don’t end up whittling it away on pointless and avoidable activities.

For example, I see no point in wasting time hunting for my keys each morning, so I set a basket by the door to drop them in each night.

Supplies are stocked and organized by my desk to prevent wasted time and distraction when I am in the middle of my work.

A weekly menu eliminates waste when I shop and minimizes my time in the kitchen.

I take a few minutes to do each of these things on a periodic basis so I can have more time to focus on what is truly important in my life.

What excuses do you give yourself for not being organized?

What frequent time wasters can be minimized or eliminated?

Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal. – Goethe

As I soak in a tub of comfort and warmth, I wash away the day’s stresses and allow them to disappear down the drain.

Just as the daily grime washes from my body at the end of the day, so too do my daily stressors wash from my spirit.

I take great care of my body and my appearance by maintaining good hygienic practices.

I am also taking proper care of myself when I take the time to relax and send away my daily stresses.

When I allow stresses to build up I am limiting my positive experiences in life.

With relaxation and pursuing activities that help to wash away the stress I am able to fully enjoy my life.

Just as I wouldn’t dream of allowing dirt and grime to build up on my body, I will not allow stress to build up either.

I rid myself of stress by relaxing it away.

I may soak in a warm tub of bubbles with soft music, lit by candles and a glass of wine.

I may just curl up in a comfortable chair and read a good book.

Whatever I find most relaxing I take the time to pursue and this frees me from my daily stress before I retire to bed.

Today I will ensure I take the time to find a relaxing activity that will rid my body and spirit from the daily stresses just as I shower away the day’s dirt from my body.

I will then sleep peacefully and awake refreshed in the morning.

How have you neglected clearing daily stresses from your life?

What activities do you find relaxing?

It is okay for me to take care of myself first.

By taking care of myself first, I am better able to care for others.

I enjoy taking care of myself.

I am able to happily do the things that I know I need to do to make me a better person.

By getting the sleep I need, eating healthy foods, exercising, and taking time to relax and meditate, I become a more centered, healthier person.

I can offer more to others when I am in full health.

When I allow myself to slip from my healthy routines, or if I overextend myself, I have less to offer others.

Because of this I need to make my care my first priority.

Caring for myself first ensures that I have the energy I need to run and play with my children.

I am able to happily take the time to curl up with them and read a story before bed time.

I am able to rise out of bed in the morning and guide my family into the day ahead of us with a healthy breakfast and energetic morning routines.

I can do all these things and more because I have first taken care of myself.

Today I will eat healthy foods, I will exercise, and I will take time to relax and recharge.

I will think positively and I will get the sleep I need. I will take care of myself first, so I am better able to take care of others.

What healthy foods have you eaten today?

How have you taken time out for yourself to relax and enjoy?

Exercise is a daily routine in my life.

June 13, 2018January 8, 2018

Relaxation is my tool for whittling away stress and finding peace of mind.

During the day, I take breaks to unwind.

When I relax, stressful thoughts about my responsibilities are far, far away from my mind.

My worries diminish as I slow down. The more I let go, the more my stress is debilitated.

The power of my worries dwindles with each minute that I spend in relaxation.

I use breathing techniques to help me calm down.

As I breathe in slow, deep breaths, I envision power entering my body.

As I breathe out, I see my tension and worries blowing away.

With my eyes shut, I spend time just listening to the rhythm of the air waltzing in and out of my body.

Relaxing is important to me because I know that if I can mold my thoughts, I sculpt my destiny.

I have authority over my thoughts.

My worries are powerless over me. Warm thoughts melt away my anxieties.

When the pace of life becomes too fast for me to keep up, I remove myself from it in order to refocus.

I have a quiet place where I go to lose myself in thought.

Free time is something that I embrace and enjoy.

I am comfortable when I spend private time.

I write my own name in my planner.

Having dates with myself helps me stay in touch with who I am.

Soft music helps me relax. My favorite sound is the ocean surf.

Each time I hear a crashing wave, I visualize my worries dissipating.

I am proud of myself for making me a priority and treating myself with the value and importance that I deserve.

As a result, treasures are unlocked deep within me, and I rest my head in the hands of peace.

How do you unwind and recharge after a long day?

The more I take care of myself, the better I feel.

Naturally, being healthy feels good physically, but it also feels good spiritually.

I take care of myself by eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water.

I also take care of myself by getting enough exercise and sleep.

Doing these things makes me feel good physically as my health improves each day.

I am strong and I am fit.

When I take care of myself in these ways I am also made better in spirit and as a whole.

My mind is clearer and my body is strong. My spirit is fortified because of the things I do to take care of myself.

The more I do these things the better I feel; I have more energy and I think more clearly.

Even my mood is improved when I take care of myself.

My body is strong and I feel powerful and full of energy.

I wake up rested in the mornings and I am prepared for whatever may come my way.

My health is improved and continues to get better every day.

Getting the rest and relaxation I need is also a way in which I take care of myself.

This fortifies my mind and spirit as well as my body.

Today, I will continue to focus on taking care of myself, meeting my needs and improving my body, mind and spirit.

I will eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, get exercise, and spend some time relaxing before getting plenty of sleep.

I will breathe in my health and exhale an improved me.

What areas do you need to improve to take better care of yourself?

How have you enriched your life by taking care of your health?

I reclaim my health by taking care of myself today.

Now that I am adult, I am responsible for my own health.

In order to reclaim it, I sometimes need to go back and parent myself into a healthier lifestyle.

There are many things I can do, even today, to help myself along.

First of all, I recognize that what I put into my body affects my energy level, stamina, and productivity, not to mention my ability to stay healthy.

I choose to give my body foods that provide fuel and nutrients rather than empty calories that simply pack on pounds that I don’t need.

I also make exercise a priority.

I have let go of idea that I have to be either a master athlete or a couch potato.

It’s perfectly acceptable for me to be somewhere in between.

While gym memberships and structured exercise programs can be valuable tools, I can be healthy without them by making a few minor changes to my lifestyle.

Walking or biking to work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and engaging in outdoor play with my children are all excellent forms of exercise.

Any movement is good for my body.

Lastly, I make sure to respect my body’s need for rest.

I have a set time when my day is done.

The vast majority of the time, whatever is unfinished can be picked up the following morning.

I have let go of the idea that I need to pack as much into each day as possible.

Instead, I keep an eye on the big picture because I know that pacing myself and getting the rest I need will enable me to reach my peak productivity level.

How can your food choices enhance or inhibit your productivity?

How do you create opportunities to exercise?

I am firmly committed to staying active and healthy.

I remain lively and fit because I am dedicated to me.

Being dedicated and committed to my health assures me that I will remain healthy and active throughout my life.

I appreciate and enjoy the conviction to eat healthy foods and exercise my body and mind. I also make sure I relax and de-stress.

These are all measures I take to ensure I stay active, healthy and happy.

I have a set schedule that includes an exercise regimen and proper foods to give me plenty of energy.

I feel stronger when I exercise and I feel better when I have a balance of nutrients in my body.

I enjoy feeling good and I deserve to be healthy.

Sometimes it is difficult for me to go to the gym when I really would rather stay home, but I let go of these feelings because I am committed to myself.

It is through this commitment that I ensure a better me.

Today I choose to remain committed to myself and to my regimen of exercise and nutrition. I let go of the urge to skip my schedule.

I let go of my urge to eat unhealthy foods.

When I dedicate myself to my commitments, I know that I will enjoy a healthy and active body for a long time.

How can allowing negative thinking get in your way of commitment?

How have you dedicated yourself to daily exercise?
