I open myself to experience all feelings.

I allow myself to remain open to all feelings, the good and the bad.

I know that both positive and negative feelings have their place in my life.

By remaining open to both sides, I can stay balanced emotionally.

I know that when I open myself up to experience all feelings I may feel some negative ones.

Whatever goes up must come down; when there is good, there is also bad.

It is the world’s way of keeping a balance.

Yet in my life, good far outweighs the bad.

While I accept that I may have feelings like grief, sadness, anger, or regret, I also enjoy the many positive feelings of joy, peace, confidence, and happiness.

I will not allow the negative feelings to build a wall and block out all emotion.

I know that it is far more rewarding to feel things.

Today I will gladly experience all my feelings.

When bad things happen, I accept the emotions and deal with them confidently.

I do the same when I have positive feelings.

By remaining open and accepting my emotions, I can deal with them in a healthy way.

This helps me to remain open and honest with myself and others.

What are some good aspects of experiencing negative emotions?

What are the feelings you most enjoy?

The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude. – William James

I release things that have held me back. I have no use for them.

I can finally let go of the things that have impeded me from moving forward.

I have a direction in life and I have goals to achieve.

I will reach my destinations and my goals.

All hindrances are behind me; I have let go of them.

I am free now to move into the positive directions I have set out for myself in my life.

I forge on, moving forward without fear or blocks.

I have let go of all of the things that were holding me back in life.

I am living a positive, free life and I am simply who I am.

I let go of the need to be a particular way for anyone else and this frees me.

I let go of the need to put too many expectations on myself because they are a hindrance to my momentum and success.

I can achieve my goals in the time that I am supposed to; I let go of timelines that hold me back.

I let go of pushing myself until I am exhausted; this does not benefit my mind or my body.

I give myself the rest and time I need to have more energy to be a productive person.

Today, I let go of the things in life that are holding me back.

I replace these things with an overabundance of positive energy.

I can move at my own pace and let go of an unrealistic timetable.

I will be myself at all times and let go of being different to different people.

Today I live without blocks or bondage.

How have you let go of the things that hold you back?

How have you looked at what may be making you feel under pressure?

It takes less time to do a thing right than it does to explain why you did it wrong. – Henry Longfellow

I take time to listen to others.

I listen to others, not only because I care about them, but also because I know that it is in my own best interests to do so.

I still have much left to learn about life.

I have learned much already and will continue to do so through my experiences.

When I open myself up to the thoughts and instruction of those who have more life experiences than I do, I equip myself with greater knowledge and understanding than I would have been able to attain on my own.

By listening to others, I protect myself from possible pitfalls.

Sometimes other people’s pasts give them a valuable perspective on my life.

They can alert me to dangers or dead-ends that I may not be able to see.

I remain open to their advice, knowing that those who love me speak out of a desire for my own good.

I also believe in community.

I am confident that we are all better off if we have a firm base to fall back on.

And such a base takes time, effort and compassion to create.

We all have our ups and downs.

While I may feel self-sufficient and content with my life right now, my life may be different next week, next month or next year.

So I take time to listen to others, knowing that I can also expect compassion and support if I have taken the time to give it.

How have you listened openly to others?

How has an active approach to listening helped you in the past?

I know that healing my mind gives me more energy to tackle new challenges.

February 15, 2018January 5, 2018

I trust in the power of loving self-care.

I am responsible for my own happiness.

I let go of the idea that I must wait around for someone else to come along and meet my needs.

I know, better than anyone else, what I need and so I am the one best equipped to find ways to meet those needs.

I trust in the power of my own loving self-care.

When I was a child, I was dependent on my parents to provide the love and support that I needed, but I am the provider now.

While I appreciate it when people see my needs and try to meet them, I no longer put my life on hold, waiting for people to come through for me.

I find a way to actively fulfill my physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.

I know that we were created for community and that I was never meant to be alone.

This need for companionship drives me outside of myself to people and places where I know I can make these connections.

Waiting for others to find me is fruitless and immature.

I let go of mind games and approach my needs openly, honestly, and in a mature fashion.

I also give myself permission to retreat and rest when I need to do so.

Waiting for someone else to affirm that I have done enough to deserve a rest is counterproductive.

I give my best efforts to my family and work, and I know when it is time for me to take a break.

I do so without guilt, knowing that I must take care of me.

How have you paid attention to your own needs?

How do you take responsibility of your physical, spiritual and emotional needs?

It feels good to be open and honest with loved ones.

Opening my heart and emotions to those who are close to me gives me a warm feeling.

I nourish my soul when I share it with my loved ones.

I know my feelings and thoughts are safe with them, and I can be completely honest and open with them.

By sharing in this way, I am made stronger and feel loved and appreciated.

I enjoy the feeling of community and the strength that comes with sharing myself with others.

When I am able to share my feelings and thoughts openly and honestly, I am also better able to receive open and honest dialog from my loved ones.

When others trust me wholeheartedly, I am honored to feel worthy of their trust.

I respect their needs and offer open and honest guidance.

Building this trust is essential. I am proud to be trusted and worthy of trust.

Today I will open my heart and share openly and honestly with others.

I will also open my heart to receive open and honest communication from others.

I will lend my ear and my heart and I will be a part of a giving and loving community.

How have you been open and honest with those you love?

How have you opened yourself to receive open and honest communication from others?
