[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Change the way you think and you'll change the way you feel." Breaking the habit of negative thinking and replacing it with an "I can and I will" attitude is the change called for by inner confidence. Negative thinking can be so interwoven in the fabric of whom you are that it is natural to assume it's normal. It's not! Breaking the cycle of negative thinking means you must acknowledge and face your harsh inner critic. You have strengths, skills and talents. Recognizing and believing in them is what confidence is all about. When you are confident, it's easy to feel great, because your inner critic becomes your inner champion! ©Jane Powell   Everyday you make literally hundreds of choices, consciously and unconsciously. One of those choices is your attitude. What was your attitude when you woke up? What is it like now? When you're aware of how your attitude affects your well-being, choices are so much easier to make. With this new found knowledge, you can literally change whatever you can dream of. You deserve a great life, happiness and self-fulfillment. Choose today to make it that way!       The opportunity of now   It makes no difference what has just happened, or why, or how. Whatever else it may be, it is also an opportunity.   To see the opportunity, stop looking backward and begin looking forward. Let go of your resentment, your contentment, your anger and even your satisfaction.   Focus on what you can now do. Whatever your feelings may be, direct their power toward creating new and meaningful value.   Be ready and willing to challenge your assumptions. This is a new moment, with new realities, so don't obscure those valuable realities behind outdated assumptions.   As powerful and transformative as the past may have been, this is a new day with its own opportunities. It is now up to you to engage the best of those opportunities and to make the most of them.   You are in a powerful position because you can choose what to do next. Grab the opportunity of now, and move your whole world forward.   Ralph Marston
