I free myself from the bonds of perfection and allow myself to make mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes; after all, we are human!

Yet, I know I am awesome just the way I am.

I appreciate the wondrous talents and capabilities that were given to me at birth and strive to develop them to the best of my ability.

I am true to myself and make decisions according to what I know to be right.

Sometimes I make wrong decisions, and that’s okay.

When this happens, I forgive myself, learn from the mistake, and move forward with my life.

I endeavor to learn something from each slip-up.

I find out what went wrong and why, then I use that knowledge to better myself.

I take advantage of my mistakes and consider them as opportunities for inner growth.

I avoid over-dramatizing my mistakes and intensely worrying about the consequences.

I know that it is just a bump in the road, and I can handle challenges with confidence.

If someone offers constructive criticism to me, I accept the suggestions gratefully and practice to avoid the same error in the future.

If I wrong someone, I do what I can to right the wrong and make amends.

Mistakes are a part of life and I respect that.

Making a mistake does not lessen my value; it is what I do after the mistake that makes the most difference.

Even when I err, I know I am still the wonderful person I was before the mishap.

Today, I give myself the freedom to make a mistake without worry.

I choose to learn what I can from it and move forward with certainty that all will be well.

What was your last mistake?

What did you learn from it?

I am managing my daily routine and regaining control of my life through setting specific goals.

I refuse to allow my life to be dictated by the fancies of every whim that comes along, running to and fro, trying to please everyone at every moment.

Instead, I choose the order that comes with effectively setting my goals and pursuing them.

No longer am I a leaf scattered by the wind. I know what I want and I go after it.

I set my goals according to my dreams and make them priorities in my daily schedule.

I choose goals for every area of my life, both business and personal, and write them down.

Then I allow myself the time to work on achieving them every day.

I make a task list for each day to establish my routine.

My list includes routine chores, work activities, leisure time, and other tasks that bring me closer to achieving my goals.

First and foremost, though, my day starts off with some easy tasks to get me going.

Once I build up some momentum with quick and easy tasks, I am ready to tackle the more difficult ones.

My momentum helps me take on the challenges of the harder tasks, and my perseverance helps me keep at them until they are complete.

I keep focused on my goals to deal quickly with distractions and get back to my schedule.

I also allow some leeway in my routine to give me time for the distractions of the day without losing sight of my priorities.

Today, I recognize the importance of my goals and make them my priorities in my schedule.

With a carefully planned to-do list, I can dismiss distractions and focus on what I really want.

How have you allotted time in your schedule, today, for working on your goals?

How often do distractions steal your focus?

I am raising the bar on self-education, self-talk, and self-development.

My inner motivation is leading me to self-improvement on a whole new level.

I actively seek out new sources of inspiration and positivity.

I devote time each day to learning new ways to ignite my passions and propel me toward success.

I find that the Internet is a literal cornucopia of resources that allow me to improve myself with every possible medium – and it is available to me right in my own home!

The inspirational audios, videos, eBooks, reports, published interviews with experts, seminars, affirmations, and even inspirational desktop wallpapers provide me with self-education, self-talk, and self-development at the click of a mouse.

I can find anything I want to learn about, taught by some of the best experts on the planet!

My self-talk is filled with an abundance of positive statements for every situation.

Negative thoughts and attitudes get dispelled the moment they try to show their ugly head!

Self-development is a priority in my schedule.

I am sure to reserve some time each day to learn new skills, develop new talents, and discover new challenges to expand my limits.

I strengthen my skills in stress reduction and joyful living.

I find new ways to enable fulfillment.

I keep up with the latest health news and I practice everything I learn. My self-improvement time is time well spent.

Today, I plan to start a new strategy of learning one new skill each day and developing them fully to receive their best benefits for my life.

When was the last time you did research simply to learn something for yourself?

How have you included time in your schedule for self-development?

The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away. – Dr. Linus Pauling

I am taking small steps toward change.

I understand that the surest way to improve my life is to play an active role in my success.

I let go of the tendency to resist changes and, instead, I embrace the new attitudes, thoughts and actions that self-improvement requires.

Regardless of how ready I am to make these changes, I realize that people cannot just change overnight.

It takes some work, and I am patient with myself in my journey of change.

It reminds me of the tale of “The Tortoise and The Hare.”

In their race, the turtle moved patiently down the road, taking small, sure steps.

The rabbit, on the other hand, hurtled ahead.

In the end, of course, it was the turtle that won the race, passing the rabbit that had gotten tired from his initial effort and fallen asleep before the end of the race.

In the same way, I know that life is a journey, not a sprint. So are life changes.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step!

Then another, then another… I am confident that I can get wherever I want to go, just by taking those small steps.

It may take me awhile, but it is a sure formula for success!

One of the tools I use daily to bring about change is the power of affirmations.

With affirmations, I am changing my life one thought at a time.

I am replacing my negative thoughts and attitudes with the positive ones that will enable my success.

Today, I choose to be like the turtle and take small, sure steps toward my desired improvements.

How are you becoming a tortoise or hare?

What small steps can you take today to embrace new changes in your life?

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. – James M. Barrie

I build momentum by staying on task.

When I focus completely on my work at hand, I find that I build a momentum that allows me to complete my tasks easier, quicker, and better.

Therefore, I strive to prevent any distractions that can interrupt this momentum.

I set my phone to voice mail, let others know I am unavailable, and avoid looking at my emails until my work is done.

Although multitasking sounds great in concept, in reality, I know that trying to do several things at once takes away from the quality of my work.

It also takes me longer to complete all the tasks than if I had focused on them one at a time.

At the beginning of each day, I create a task list of things that need to get done.

I make a daily schedule, being sure to include enough time for my priorities.

I schedule some easy tasks first that I can quickly dispense with and cross off my list.

Doing easy tasks first allows me to quickly build my momentum.

It makes it easy to get started on my work and then move from one task to another very quickly.

Once I get a running start like this, the momentum helps carry me through the harder tasks.

This daily strategy is my formula for success.

It helps me build momentum, be more productive, and do a good job on each and every task.

I can finish my work quicker so I can move on to the more exciting parts of my day!

Today, I plan to stay on task by carefully creating a workable schedule and then I follow it through to completion.

How do you keep yourself on track?

How have you made it a point to eliminate distractions when you work?
