I am excited by the presence of a new day.

Each new day is a gift that I choose to cherish.

I begin my day by waking up in a warm, soft bed and stretching my body to prepare myself for the day ahead.

I breathe in deeply, smell the fresh morning air, and enjoy the crisp breeze as I emerge from the covers.

I am awakened with the joy for the day ahead of me.

This is a brand new day, a day that is untouched by yesterday and reaches toward tomorrow.

This day is the blank canvas that will receive the masterpiece of my day.

I may be going off to work, spending my day working around the house, or even running errands; whatever my day entails I will enjoy it and I am blessed to have it.

Yesterday is gone forever and tomorrow may never come; therefore, this day is the most important day of my life.

I cherish this day and enjoy each moment that passes.

Today is perfect and I will take the time to appreciate the air I breathe, the light that touches my face, and the sounds of my unique environment that make up the music of my day.

I will enjoy my day and be present in each moment.

What is your first experience of the day?

How have you remained present in each moment?

My past is only a benchmark for my present and future progression.

I am investing in the right set of tools to help me become a success.

Because I believe in the value of my goals, I invest in the tools I need to achieve success.

I wouldn’t drag together a pile of scrap wood and rusted nails and expect to be able to build my dream house.

Instead, I take the time to draw up plans and make lists of all the supplies I might need.

While I am always careful about waste and extravagance, I am willing to invest in quality supplies in order to create a house that is not only beautiful, but can withstand the elements and endure the test of time.

I do the same in my personal and professional life.

I take the time to make sure I have thoroughly explored the options and that I have a clear picture of my goal.

I plan, research, and enlist the advice of others so I can have a realistic idea of the skills needed to achieve my goals.

Once I have a strong understanding of my plan, I acquire the necessary skills and resources.

I know what I want and I am willing to make the necessary investments of time, energy and money to make my dreams a reality.

Have you taken the time to figure out what skills you may need to achieve your goals?

What investments are necessary to succeed?

I let go of the feeling of being in unknown territory.

I can manage stress because I know I cannot control the uncontrollable.

I can manage stress because I accept what is out of my hands.

I am only one person and my energy and resources are limited so I let go of the idea that I can change everything.

I recognize that others are involved in the equation.

Because I live and work with people, not puppets, I accept that I will not always get my way.

As an adult, I have the option of walking away from any situation that I deem to be unhealthy.

When I choose to remain in a situation, however, I am choosing to allow the others involved to voice and act upon their own opinions.

I can – and do – express myself on issues that matter to me or my community, but I let go of the idea that I can change other people against their will.

I can either find a way to work with their ideas and opinions, or take a different path with a set of people whose expectations more closely match my own.

Because I let go of the idea that I can somehow mold people or situations to my liking, I am free from the stress of feeling responsible for things outside of my control.

How are you sometimes treating your family and peers as puppets?

Have you been trying to change any situation that is outside your control?

I celebrate my ability to take risks and dare to take a different direction.

I am a fearless risk-taker.

The road less traveled calls out to me.

I am enticed to tread new ground and go where few have gone before.

I swim against the current, away from the crowds.

I travel upstream like a courageous fish.

Others are unable to convince me of fitting into a cookie-cutter mold.

My heart desires more than an average life; therefore, I must take on more than the average risk.

I enjoy being a little rebellious.

The best discoveries were made by people who were brave enough to go against the flow.

Although I love feeling safe, a desire for security cannot handcuff me.

I arise from the seat of contentment and welcome risks.

Even when there is a path traced out before me, I dare to take a different direction.

I respect life, but I don’t take it too seriously.

Life is a gift that I enjoy to the fullest.

To me, there is no fun in attempting only the things that have a guarantee of success.

I live to try the unknown and difficult.

I am defiant of limitations and boundaries.

Taking risks is as exhilarating to me as parachuting out of an airplane.

I get a rush from knowing that I am about to face off with danger.

My heart pounds in my chest when I venture out on a limb. I am not shy about questioning norms.

I celebrate who I am because I am proud.

I was created for greatness, and the only way to achieve it is to step in the direction of the unknown.

What price are you willing to pay in order to fly higher than the rest?

What is your attitude toward risks?

Many of life’s failures are people who didn’t realize how close they were to success when they gave up. – Thomas Edison

I commit to fully discussing my thoughts and feelings.

I commit to fully discussing my thoughts and feelings because I know that the key to a fulfilling life is through healthy relationships, and the only way to achieve healthy relationships is through a continual dedication to openness and honesty.

I let go of the idea that people should be able to read my mind.

By communicating my feelings and concerns, I allow others an accurate picture of what is going on in my life, which gives a starting point for setting things right.

I have also let go of the idea that I can read other people’s minds.

I may think I know what is going on, but to be sure, I take the time to gently ask questions and actively listen.

When I ask questions, I listen without interrupting.

Then I repeat what I heard so we can both be certain that we are on the same page.

My family, close friends, and I all have the same central goal; we want what is best for each other.

The way we help each other achieve this is through open and honest communication.

Why are there times when you expect people to read your mind?

What are you doing to facilitate communication in your relationships?

Impulsive thoughts cannot be found in my mind.
