Photo by loop_ohI am physically fit. Good health improves the quality of my life. I feel happy, full of energy, and ready to take on the world.

My body enjoys abundant health because I make smart choices. When I make a decision, I think of the initial impact as well as the long-term effects it will have on my body.

My actions are driven by a desire to enjoy a long life with good health. Healthy habits are more than a passing fad for me; they are a way of life.

Being fit is also part of my family’s lifestyle. My spouse, children and I participate in physical activity together. The more fun we have together as a family, the more we enjoy it and the less it feels like exercise.

I include my family in food preparation. We prepare meals that are high in nutritional value. I eat small portions that are enough to give me the nutrients I need without overeating. I choose foods that are packed with vitamins and proteins.

Eating healthy foods on a regular basis saves me from crash diets, which are temporary and produce fleeting results. I work on my health at a safe pace, making improvements to my life each day.

I am conscious of the amount of physical activity I get each day. Every little bit matters. Therefore, I try to insert physical activity everywhere I can. A simple adjustment, such as parking the car far away, can translate into burned calories.

Today, I choose to be responsible for my body. I make small changes to my diet and level of physical activity so I can be fit for life.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How can I improve my diet?
2. How can I increase my level of physical activity?
3. What is one fun physical activity I can do with my family?

My life has remarkable worth.

Photo by Kuzeytac (Vacation+Bad internet)I am an individual created for a grand purpose. I am the only one in this world who can do what I am called to do.

There are people who love me more than they are able to express. My family, my friends, and my colleagues think the world of me. Even if we fail to see eye to eye at times, they still have great respect for me.

Even when I feel overlooked by others, I am still valuable. Many people notice my work, and those people may never get the chance to tell me. Life moves fast and some people simply don’t take the time to tell me that they notice my work.

My worth lies in my own view of myself. When I acknowledge that my Creator designed me for a noble purpose, my confidence grows.

My destiny is just waiting for me to fulfill it. There are amazing things in my future, which I work hard to attain. I refuse to allow discouragement to rob me of my destiny.

I am precious to my Creator. Even when it is hard for me to see my own worth, I know that I am valuable. Each morning, I turn the page of my past and embrace the new chance to make a change.

Today, I choose to see myself as a chest filled with treasure. I have more beauty than diamonds and more worth than gold.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I ever feel invisible?
2. Do I acknowledge my worth?
3. Why does my life matter? To whom does my life matter?

Photo by tapperboyMy life is filled with everything good. Inside my heart there is an overabundance of positive emotions. When I think about my life, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all my blessings. True joy is the result of a grateful heart.

There are innumerable sources of joy in my life. My family and friends are the most precious gifts I have ever received. The unconditional love that I experience with them, especially in times of need, fill my heart with joy.

My joy is contagious and constant. I choose to rejoice in every circumstance. I am filled with joy because I focus on the good things and give thanks for my life.

The quality of my life matters; therefore I strive to live the best life I can. My goal is not merely to survive, but to live out the plan that has been set before me.

I practice healthy habits in order to enjoy good health. Good health improves my stamina and my ability to enjoy life. When I feel good physically, I feel good emotionally.

Everywhere I look, I see a new source of happiness. I pay attention to the little details that make life great.

Each day, I aim to share a deep laugh with someone. I allow myself to release my inhibitions, throw my head back, and laugh like a child. I surround myself with happy people in order to keep the feeling alive.

Today, I choose to look at life through appreciative eyes that focus on the small things that bring me joy, health, and happiness.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What are my sources of joy?
2. How do I take care of my body?
3. What am I grateful for today?

My life has great meaning and purpose.

blogadmin — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:41:57 +0000

I know I am here for a reason. Although I may not know what that reason is, I strive to develop my God-given talents and positively affect every person that touches my life.

Photo by UrvishJEveryone has a purpose! My purpose allows me to express myself in my own unique way, while also giving me the opportunity to help each member of the human family.

When I work to develop my talents and use them to the best of my ability, I am able to fulfill part of my purpose. This gives me great meaning and fulfillment because my gifts are being used for the greater good.

When someone comes into my life, I encourage him or her to do the same, whether it is my partner, friend, colleague, or child. I always encourage others to be the best they can be, and do what they are called to do.

In this way, I am fulfilled and I know that I am living according to my purpose.

Today, I plan to do every task to the best of my ability and be the absolute best I can be, regardless if the task seems trivial.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I strive to develop my talents?
2. How do I affect others? Do I encourage them or discourage them?
3. What is my attitude about my tasks in my current life situation?

Years of life lived bring wisdom and resilience.

blogadmin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:30:58 +0000

I am glad for the years of my life. They have made me what I am today – confident, strong, and wise. When I was young, I had none of these qualities, but as the years passed, my experiences developed these strengths.

Photo by h.koppdelaneyJust as physical exercises make my body strong and healthy, years of experience are the exercises that build a strong mind and character.

Each experience brings me wisdom. I learn from both my successes and mistakes. Years of such bits of knowledge bring a wisdom that only thousands of experiences can bring.

I find I am so much more resilient to life’s ups and downs than I was when I was younger. Overcoming challenges and getting through hard times to see the light at the other end has provided a confidence that I can make it through any difficulty.

I also accept that challenges are simply a natural part of life, so they no longer shock or upset me as they may have done in my younger years. I strive to take action to improve my situation as I can, and then I continue to move forward without second thoughts.

I also have the wisdom to determine if something is truly important in the long run. I ask myself, “Will this make a difference five years from now?” My years of experience make answering this question a lot easier!

As a consequence of my years of experience, I am also calmer and more optimistic that things will turn out for the best.

Today, I plan to let the wisdom from my years of experience guide me in my decisions.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I realize and rely on the wisdom I’ve gained from my years of life lived?
2. How have my experiences made me more resilient?
3. Do I appreciate the years of my life?
