I acknowledge that I can only do so much and I am okay with it.

I let go of the idea that I can always do more if only I try harder.

I know I have limits because, after all, I am only human.

I leave superhero efforts to the superheroes and enjoy doing what I can without putting undue stress on myself.

I strive to recognize my limits and stay within them.

There is nothing wrong with stretching my limits here and there, but continuously trying to work past them only sets me up for failure.

When I stay within my limits, I choose success.

Learning to stay within my limits is just like exercising.

If I push my muscles beyond their capabilities, I cause injury, which can set me back even further than when I started.

However, I can stretch them little by little.

In the same way, I can challenge myself to try new things, just as long as I carefully schedule my time and efforts based on what I know I can do.

If someone asks me to do something I do not have the time or skills for, I confidently say “no”.

This is far better than misleading them today and disappointing them tomorrow.

I can achieve more by purposefully staying within my limits.

Planning my actions around my current skills and abilities allows me to spend my time doing what I know I can do.

I avoid wasting my time and energy with the impossible.

Today, I choose to recognize my limits and direct my energy toward performing well within my limits. In this way, I am a success!

Have you learned to say “no” when people ask too much of you?

What happens to you when you are over-stretched?

Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong. – Peter T. McIntyre

May 18, 2019March 16, 2018

I acknowledge that I cannot control others. I can only control myself.

I release the tendency to try to control the thoughts, opinions, or actions of other people and focus, instead, on self-improvement.

After all, there is only one person I have power over: myself!

Of course, I like it when people think well of me, but I let go of worrying about what they might think.

It’s a waste of my time and energy and causes me undue stress.

I know I do my best and that is all I can do. I accept this and am okay with it.

When I live by the Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” – and remain true to myself, I am confident most people will think highly of me.

If they do not, I refuse to let it bother me, since I cannot control them anyway.

I like knowing that I am in control of my own thoughts, behaviors, and actions.

It sure takes the burden off my shoulders to know that the only person I need to control is me.

What an uplifting revelation!

I have gratitude to bring me joy.

I have a passion for life that enables me to enjoy every minute of every day by simply living in the moment.

I have affirmations to replace negative thoughts and attitudes with the positive ones I deserve.

This tool allows me all the self-improvement I could ever desire.

Armed with my tools and my understanding of how I can shape my world, I go forth confident of success.

Today, I choose to live every moment true to myself, not worrying about what others might think.

What have your results been like when you’ve tried to control someone else?

What tools do you have that enable you to shape your surroundings?

Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m possible. – Audrey Hepburn

I actively look forward to new adventures, even if they are outside my comfort zone.

I love having new adventures!

They bring excitement, lessons, new skills, and passion to my life.

Even if the adventure includes going outside of my comfort zone, I am most willing to give it a shot.

Who knows? I may find something new to enjoy!

Sometimes I feel like a wide-eyed kid in a toy store for the first time.

So many new things to see and do!

Only now I am grown and the world is my toy store.

My main question is: How do I choose what to try out first?

Life is just too short to stand on the sidelines and let it pass me by.

Life isn’t a spectator sport.

I want to be where the action is!

After all, I only get one shot at this, so I want to make every moment count.

One way I accomplish this is by pursuing new adventures.

I know that embracing new adventures also means going outside of my comfort zone from time to time, and I look forward to this.

I also realize that, while it may be scary, going outside of my comfort zone can also bring great rewards.

Delving into totally unfamiliar territories expands my limits.

In the process, I learn new skills, meet new friends, discover new talents, and ignite new passions.

Even if I do not have the time or money to travel often, I can find new adventures right in my own backyard.

Anything different can be an adventure.

I can try a new restaurant, take a class to learn a new skill, or even build a new business.

Today, I choose to actively seek new adventures, do something I have never done before, and relish every moment of it.

How much time do you spend just sitting and watching life pass you by?

What can you try for your next adventure?

Not life but good life is to be chiefly valued. – Socrates

I allow myself outside of my comfort zone and appreciate all the rewards that are available to me.

Stepping outside of my comfort zone from time to time opens up a whole new world of possibilities to me.

Although I can receive many rewards while staying warm and cozy inside my comfort zone, I realize that venturing out of it can bring even more!

My comfort zone has all the comforts of home.

Inside my home I feel confident and self-assured.

I know where everything is and arrange it according to my own likes and dislikes.

I am in control of my life when I am inside my home.

I know that once I step outside my home, things change.

Life can throw unexpected challenges at me, yet even with such a risk, I know that I could never live my life inside my home only.

That would be too limited and confining!

In the same way, I understand that living life inside my comfort zone confines me to a very narrow spectrum of experiences.

Although I am comfortable and confident there, where is the excitement?

Do I really want to limit myself like that? Of course not!

When I allow myself to get out, I find that it can be fun.

I can go on new adventures and meet all kinds of new people.

I can develop new talents and skills that I never knew I had.

And I can learn new things that I never even imagined before.

With this in mind, today I plan to let myself out of my comfort zone and reap new rewards like never before.

I feel such freedom and excitement about my new outlook that I know I can overcome any minor setback on my path to fulfillment.

What holds you inside of your comfort zone?

What rewards have you received when you’ve ventured outside your comfort zone?

I always follow through.

When I make a commitment to someone, I am true to my word.

When I make a commitment to myself, it is no less important than my commitments to others, and I always follow through on what I promise to me.

I make the fulfillment of my promises a priority in my life.

I refuse to let distractions and setbacks get in the way of my priorities.

Another important skill that helps keep me true to my word is time management.

I make it a point to schedule my activities carefully to allow enough time for my priorities.

Saying “no” also helps me follow through on my commitments.

If I do not have the time to do something, then I do not commit myself to doing it.

Instead, I try to find someone else who can help.

If I try to take on too much, the sheer number of commitments can overwhelm me and prevent me from accomplishing any of them satisfactorily.

So I am careful to determine if I have the time for something before I commit to it.

Developing these skills and strategies has resulted in greater trust and respect from those close to me.

People know they can depend on me when I say I can do something for them.

Being true to my word strengthens my relationships and forges stronger bonds between us.

Today, I am determined to craft a schedule that gives priority to my commitments so I can follow through with ease.

How are you making your commitments a priority in your life?

How have you planned a careful schedule so you can accomplish what you’ve set out to do?
