Life is too short to miss out on the fun, so every day I am sure to enjoy some humor.

Laughter is one of nature’s best stress relievers and so I take advantage of its benefits whenever I can.

I allow myself to be easily amused and take pleasure in the simple things of life.

When I see a puppy wagging its tail, it reminds me of how totally exuberant puppies are, and l take time to laugh and enjoy its further antics.

A funny movie quote can liven up even the dullest of conversations!

It also steers the discussion toward things I love.

“Remember when…” can bring back funny memories over and over again.

Whenever I am with my family or an old friend, we enjoy the same funny stories for years.

They are part of a common heritage of fun that we share and cherish.

Every time someone new joins the group, I laugh again as they get to hear the stories for the first time.

I also make time to watch funny movies and play funny games with my friends and family.

Nothing beats the good feelings from an evening of laughter!

When tension is great, sometimes I even say or do something silly.

It brings an immediate release of the tension so we can all then focus more clearly on the matter at hand.

Today, I choose to see the humor in my everyday situations and make time to do something just for the fun of it!

When was the last time you did something funny and outrageous?

How can you add more humor into your life?

I accept myself wholly and completely.

November 10, 2019March 27, 2018

I nourish and satisfy my mind, body, and soul.

I give my mind, body, and soul what they crave to flourish and in return they enable me to live the most fulfilling life.

I nurture my mind with imagination and knowledge and help it build attitudes of success.

With meditation, I visualize happiness.

Through reading and learning, I feed it new ideas on which to ponder.

I foster good habits, confidence, and self-esteem with positive affirmations, repeating them throughout the day as the need arises.

I nourish my body with nutritious foods and exercise.

Eating right gives my body the nutrients it needs for optimum performance, clear thinking, and a strong immune system.

Exercising relieves stress, distributes fresh bursts of oxygen throughout my body, keeps me in tip-top shape, revives me, and makes me feel good all over!

When I feel good and know that I look good as well, I have the passion, confidence, and energy to take on the world! I feel as if nothing can stop me.

Challenges become just a bump in the road on my path to success.

I feed my soul with a close connection to my Creator.

I feel gratitude for all the good things I am blessed with and the wonderful things just waiting for me to discover and bring into my life.

Every day is like a dance with my spirit!

Today, I choose to celebrate my mind, body, and soul and feed them what they crave, knowing that these things will bring me a wondrous life.

What did you do today to nourish your mind?

How often do you give in to the temptation of choosing junk food over nutritious food?

Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. – Hilary Clinton

I produce mental and physical traction through time management and constant activity.

Consistent action and good time management skills keep me focused on where I want to go.

Therefore, I take the time to plan my day according to my priorities and then follow my schedule to the best of my ability.

It’s like having enough traction on the tires of my car.

Traction keeps it from slipping and sliding on the road so I don’t end up in a ditch somewhere.

Likewise, time management is like a set of good tires.

They keep me from slipping off into distractions.

I find that the more I improve my time management skills, the easier it is for me to stay on track.

For example, scheduling some easy tasks first allows me to get started quickly and build momentum.

Building in flexibility in my schedule gives me the time to deal with important distractions so I can get back to my tasks with time to spare.

Constant activity enables me to be productive.

One of the laws of physics states that a body in motion tends to stay in motion, while a body at rest tends to stay at rest.

It takes more energy to get a body at rest going again than it does to just keep it going.

With this knowledge, I limit my periods of inactivity, like sitting on the couch watching TV.

I know how hard it is to get back up and get motivated for my tasks again, so I rest when my body or mind needs rest, and I stay active the majority of the time.

Today, I am taking the time to create an efficient, flexible schedule so I can stay active until my tasks are done.

How can you include some flexibility in your schedule?

How much time do you spend watching TV when you could be working toward your goals?

I relinquish control of the need to do everything.

I let go of the thought that everything depends on me, and freely pass on the responsibility to others.

When I do, I feel a heavy burden lifted from my shoulders.

At home, I let my children handle some of the chores.

This teaches them responsibility and lets them feel like an integral part of the family.

I let my spouse handle whatever he will and am pleased with the outcome of our teamwork.

At work, I delegate tasks efficiently by letting those best qualified for the task to lend a helping hand.

This gives me more time to focus on the tasks that I must do myself.

As a result, we work as a team on the job, output higher quality work, and I do not have to do it all myself.

I know that most of the time someone else will not do a task in the exact same way I would, but that does not mean that the results are sub-par.

In fact, I find that if I back off and let them be in control of their delegated task, they produce fine work.

Letting go of the need to do everything gives me more time to do what I really want to do.

I can take the time to relax and take better care of myself.

I can rejuvenate my energy and focus on the things that are important to me.

Today, I am free of the stress that comes with trying to do everything myself.

I happily let my spouse, children and co-workers take on what they can, knowing that all will be well.

How strong is your need to do everything yourself?

What chores can you assign to your children instead of doing them yourself?

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare. – Japanese Proverb

November 7, 2019March 27, 2018

I seize the opportunity to keep moving forward.

Life brings me opportunities every day to forge onward toward my goals, and I make it a habit to take advantage of every occasion.

The more I practice this, the more I find amazing opportunities all around me!

Each new day brings with it a new batch of possibilities to choose from.

This day may be a day of discovery where I gain new knowledge, find a new talent, or learn a new skill. It may be a day of accomplishment.

Or it may bring me rest and rejuvenation to renew my passion and energy to achieve my goals.

I use my time management skills to schedule tasks every day that keep me moving forward.

I know that each task I complete brings me one step closer to success.

Even challenges bring opportunities.

In seeking solutions, I learn new things, develop my creativity, and enhance my decision-making skills.

Sometimes the silver lining propels me toward my goal faster than if the challenge had never occurred!

There is always opportunity. I need only to let myself see it and then take decisive action!

Action is the key. Taking action keeps me moving.

It keeps my mind focused on completing my tasks rather than sitting around wondering about the “what ifs.”

It encourages me to do what I can in any situation and not worry about the rest.

My action mindset brings me confidence because I am able to focus on what I can do rather than on what I cannot do.

Today, I choose to seize the day – to recognize the opportunities this day brings and take action on them.

How can you seize this day?

What opportunity is before you at this moment?
