I am planting the seeds to a successful career and a stress-free life.

I am planting the seeds to a successful career and a stress-free life by having a clear picture of where I am going and how I plan to get there.

I am aware of the fact that plans change along the way and that growing and developing my inner self may well lead to a shift in my dreams and goals.

I am open to this and have let go of the idea that I need to have my entire life chiseled in stone!

I have taken the time to discover my interests and skills.

I have consulted with those older and wiser than myself who can see what I am naturally equipped to do and be.

I have laid out plans for what I hope to achieve in life and how I plan to get there.

I invest in developing my skills and obtaining the resources that I need to be successful.

I have let go of the idea that having a good life is something that just happens.

I know that it requires conscious thought and planning.

Anything less wastes time and energy and leaves me wandering in circles.

Because I have allowed myself the time to prepare and am equipping myself with the skills and resources I need to achieve my goals, I can move forward confidently and free of stress.

How have you taken the time to develop your goals and to plan how to reach them?

How are you showing willingness to invest in your success?

Laughter is an instant vacation. – Milton Berle

February 2, 2018January 5, 2018

It is easy for me to let go and enjoy the laughter that I have inside me.

I’ve been given many gifts that bring out the beauty in life: my creativity, my love for others, and my connection with nature and the Divine.

All of these are wonderful and I treasure them.

I also make sure to remember another inborn trait that, when I nurture it, helps me live on a deeper and more fulfilling level.

This trait is my sense of humor.

Happiness is my natural state of being.

When I let go of the need to out-perform people, to always be on top and in control, I find myself returning effortlessly to that natural state.

Humor finds me when I let down my guard.

I find great joy in the sometimes off-the-wall utterances of my child, as he tries life and language.

My puppy, too, provides endless entertainment as he explores his world. Humor is all around me.

I open myself up to a deeper level of being when I allow myself to laugh at my efforts and errors.

When I let go of the need to be perfect, I allow myself to recognize and thrive on the humor that continues to be part of the process of growth and exploration throughout life.

I relax when I laugh which leads to greater health and productivity.

I nurture my sense of humor for my good and the good of those around me.

How often have you recognized humor in your daily life?

How can you open up to laughter today?

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. – Zig Ziglar

February 1, 2018January 5, 2018

By removing the blinders of constraint, I am able to see the full scope of my objective.

I am able to fully comprehend the big picture because I have let go of the things that serve to hold me back and cloud my vision.

I shrug off all of the unnatural limitations I have let get in my way.

I can clearly see where I am going and what I need to do to stay on the course I have selected for myself.

I am no longer hindered by a clouded view that needn’t be there.

I let go of the false ideas and struggles that get in the way of my success.

I set my goals and my priorities in an order that I can naturally accomplish.

I can remain focused on my objective.

Following my priorities enables me to stay on track and not be held back by the things that block my view and my momentum.

When I can see my goals clearly I am better able to find the success I am moving toward.

Today I will ensure that my priorities are set and I let go of all of the things that would block or hinder me from meeting my goals.

I will keep my focus on my objective.

My priorities will guide me on my road to success and I will let go of the restraining blinders so I can keep my goal in full view.

How have you let go of anything that restrains you from meeting your goals?

How clearly do you see your goals and purpose?

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. – Wayne Gretzky

January 31, 2018January 5, 2018

Because of my realistic expectations, there is no such thing as disappointment in my life.

I want to experience real depth with people, so I let go of the fairy tale notions of my youth.

I maintain realistic expectations so there is no such thing as disappointment in my life.

I am human and fallible. While I strive daily to be my best self, I recognize that growing and maturing is a process.

I know that my actions, attitudes, and performance will sometimes leave room for improvement.

That’s okay! As long as I am continually moving forward, I am satisfied.

I extend the same courtesy to others.

Because I want them to understand my human tendencies and weaknesses, I allow others to be human as well.

My spouse, co-workers, children and friends all have their own unique personalities and sets of challenges.

By granting them permission to be fallible, I set myself up for more genuine relationships that will sustain us all during hard times.

And hard times do come! I keep in mind the fact that Hollywood is a mirage and that real life is tough for the vast majority of the world.

I have let go of the idea that somehow I should be insulated from the troubles of humanity and be allowed to live a fairy tale life in my castle in the clouds.

Because I value real life with authentic and rewarding relationships, I free myself of the need for perfection and live in the moment, finding joy and opportunity in each day.

How do you tend to expect perfection from yourself?

How have you allowed others to be human and fallible?

I gratefully replenish my mind, body and soul.

An hour of relaxation a day helps to keep my doctor at bay.

I am healthier because I take the time to relax every day.

I am an active person and enjoy the challenges and activities in my life.

I am able to continue enjoying these things because I take the time for daily relaxation.

This allows my mind and body to recharge and diffuse all tension and stress.

I am better prepared for tomorrow’s challenges and activities because I make relaxation a priority in my life.

My health is strengthened because my body and mind are allowed the time to unwind and recharge.

I take pride in my ability to multi-task and succeed in challenging situations.

I take pride also in my ability to stay sharp and think on my feet.

I am in good shape physically and my body and mind work together to perform amazing feats.

I am able to do these things because I am balanced.

I make relaxation time a top priority in my life.

I relax my muscles before retiring at night by flexing a group of muscles and holding the flex for a few seconds and then releasing it.

I do this several times and my body benefits by releasing stress.

I also enjoy deep breathing exercises to relax.

I close my eyes, inhale deeply and slowly exhale; doing this several times relaxes my body and my mind.

This exercise brings in extra oxygen to nourish my entire body.

Today I will take the time to fully relax my body and mind and I will improve my health by doing so.

I can enjoy my challenges and feel good about my successes because I take the time to relax and recharge.

What methods of muscle relaxation do you enjoy?

How does deep breathing make you feel?
