[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"What are you telling yourself?" Positive self-talk is not about telling yourself that bad things in your life don't exist or have not happened. It's not about telling yourself life will be easy if you think the right thoughts. Self-talk is about self-awareness and recognizing how your thoughts affect how you feel and ultimately what you accomplish. Your thoughts are your self-talk. And, they directly affect the way you feel. Since your feelings dictate your actions, it's important to take notice of the chain of thoughts and events in your life. This new found awareness holds the key to making the changes you crave come to pass. ©Jane Powell     Leave the past where it belongs Don't stumble over something behind you. Don't use the past as an excuse to miss out on today. You do not heal the wounds of the past by digging deeper into them. Acceptance truly is the bitter pill you have to bravely swallow to move beyond yesterday's sorrows. It's a choice you must make. Because the truth of the matter is that history only dictates the future if you allow it. In other words, you only have to relive it if you choose to.       Do what you must do Achievement is a matter of putting your mind to it and focusing your actions on it. Anything is possible when you set your intention on making it happen. There are always plenty of reasons why you can't get it done. Yet you can choose to do it anyway. You can find a way. If one approach doesn't work, another one will. Decide what you will do, and then do what you decide. Life is too precious, and too filled with great possibilities, to settle for anything less. Do what you must do until the goal is achieved. You're smart and motivated and capable, so make it count for something meaningful. Achievement is yours to do. So choose today to get it done.
