I am in good physical condition because I choose to make choices that support my healthy lifestyle. Because of these healthy choices, I am fit and full of energy to offer others. I ensure that I get enough rest to be adequately prepared for the day ahead. Only then do I embark on satisfying the requests of others.


When I begin to feel overly stressed, I remember that I must tend to my personal well-being. I take a moment to relax and figure out the most efficient method of going about my responsibilities. I respond to stress by seeking the option that nourishes me best.

Sometimes, I must rely on others to help me. I am comfortable asking for help when I need it. I delegate tasks and routinely enlist the aid of others to lighten my load. Because I'm comfortable asking for help, my load is lighter and I have more to give others in return.

I delegate and outsource tedious tasks to free my time to pursue what matters most to me. When I pursue my passions, I am happier and everyone around me is happier, too. The process of delegating and outsourcing tedious tasks allows me to regain hours of productivity each week.

Today, I dedicate a few minutes to myself. I choose to maintain both my physical and mental health. Indulging in a little "me" time is the best remedy to stress.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I take on too much responsibility because I find it challenging to say "no?"
2. Is my work life invading my personal time?
3. Which responsibilities can I efficiently and economically delegate?

I am certain that my fiance is also experiencing an emotional blend of excitement and jitters, and that is healthy for both of us.

Clearly, sharing the most intimate moments of my everyday life with another person is a bit concerning. For so long, I have lived the single life, and now I am just days away from waving goodbye to life as I know it.

To me, marriage is the most sacred, joyous, and beautiful experience two people can share. I am honored that my partner deems me worthy as the person to spend the decades with.

These pre-wedding jitters make for memorable stories that my soon-to-be spouse and I are sure to share with our children!

I am an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. I am well on the road to success. Therefore, any and all distractions that attempt to stray me away from my goals must step to the side.

Morning and night, success is on my mind. Even when I am off the clock, I am mindful of my actions and act responsibly at all times in order to avoid hindering my advancement.

I go to bed at a reasonable hour the night before work. I arrive at the office early. I go above and beyond when completing projects. I actively seek more responsibility in my position and demonstrate to my supervisor that I deserve a promotion.

Clearly, I have tunnel vision toward my objective. Diversions are no match for my innate focus.

My desire to succeed is a hunger inside of me. Thankfully, due to my hard work, I am beginning to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

I am aware that many of the most successful businessmen in the world began their careers at the very bottom. Therefore, I am slowly climbing my way up the ladder, one step at a time.

My strong work ethic, persistence, and drive for success are my secret weapons.

I am defined by the actions I take in response to depression and not by the depression itself. I am defined by my personality, my actions, and my beliefs. I define myself!

I am stronger than these feelings of depression. I know that deep within myself, I have the ability to stop these feelings. In fact, I am so in control of my emotions that I can turn a negative into a positive using only the power of my mind.

I find that thinking factually rather than emotionally is the most effective method of ridding my heart of these feelings of depression. Generally, I can shift my mood from depressed to contentment within just a matter of minutes.

For example, when I begin to feel lonely, I remind myself that loving people surround me. And, when I feel an overwhelming impending sense of doom, I remind myself that both my loved ones and I are safe. I feel grateful for my blessings and find that this thankful feeling is my best weapon against depression!

Overall, I am a happy person. I live an exciting lifestyle, surrounded by loving people, and I am a successful professional.

I understand that every now and then, everyone encounters a small bout of sadness. And generally, the negative emotions are brought about by a sense of insecurity or an underlying worry.

Today, I overcome my depression by accepting my emotions and then focusing my thoughts on something positive. I am a powerful, independent and stable individual. A small bout of sorrow is simply a small inhibition that I can overcome if I apply myself.

Everyone has to start somewhere. At times, I endure unnecessary criticism from seasoned professionals due to my age, but I shrug it off and keep my chin up.

People often find a reason to talk about others behind their back. However, I choose to ignore the mean-spirited comments and stay out of office gossip. Instead, with blinders on, I continue moving forward toward the success I deserve.

In fact, the chatter fuels me to push myself further in everything I do. If I continue to give 100% effort in all things, I am guaranteed a positive result. The worst-case scenario is that I learn from my mistakes and improve.

Most people see my youth as a barrier to success. However, I see it as an opportunity to succeed earlier in life. My attitude sets me up for larger and greater successes at an earlier age. My actions speak volumes about my work ethic and drive to succeed.

I am seeking a high paying job within my specialty. However, I am open to the possibility of a temporary position outside of my specialty to pay the bills. For this reason, I am relaxed about my job requirements when applying to open positions.

I make an active effort to search for jobs that I would greatly enjoy. But, when the well of interesting opportunities seems to run dry, I continue my job search by applying to positions that are of less interest to me. Each day, I apply for at least five positions.

I utilize the internet to its fullest potential in my job-seeking efforts.

I am active on social networking websites, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. I use these accounts to network with potential employers and find open positions that most job seekers miss out on.

I also make it a point to touch base with my industry contacts to seek job leads that may not be advertised to the public.

I am creating a website to display my resume, personal achievements, and a link to each of my social networking accounts. My website makes my resume readily available to potential employers.

Due to my persistence, I expect to be gainfully employed soon. I maintain a positive outlook, realizing that the job search is a numbers game. If I apply for enough positions, I know I can land a job. Therefore, I treat failure as a step forward in my job search.

Today, I keep my chin up and continue on my path to new employment. I am certain that it is only a matter of time until I find a new job that allows me to gain financial security.

Self-Reflection Questions:

I am in a loving relationship, and I am perfectly content with the way things are at the moment. Therefore, I am patient to wait, instead of jumping into a marriage before I am ready to do so.

Aside from parenting, marriage is the strongest commitment one can make in life. Though I love my partner dearly, I choose to wait until I am sure I am ready to take that final step.

In time, we may decide to take our relationship to the next step. But, for now, I choose to slow down.

My patience can be rewarded, in the proper time, with a lifelong marriage that I can cherish dearly.

When I decide that it is the right time for me to get married, I do so for the right reasons. I plan to get married only when I’m totally sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with the person I love. Until that assurance comes to my heart, I ignore the social pressure and protect myself.

For now, my partner and I savor life together as an unmarried couple.

Today, I choose patience, rather than haste, in making marriage plans. I choose to listen to my heart and enjoy the relationship with my partner with little pressure. I am free to be myself, and I enjoy that freedom. I choose to wait to get married until I am completely sure that marriage is the right thing for me.

Self-Reflection Questions:

2. Am I in love with my partner, or with the idea of having a wonderful wedding?

Everyone wants to fall in love. I find myself daydreaming about love throughout the day and know that love is coming into my life in good time.

I know that my soul mate is near. In fact, my soul mate might even be a friend I have known for years.

I am open to love coming into my life in traditional ways, such as bonding with a possible date at the grocery store. I am also open to love arising in unconventional ways.

Now that I have opened myself to the idea that love is just around the corner, I experience renewed self-confidence. I am secure because I know that just being me is good enough to attract a desirable romantic match.

I feel comfortable within my own skin, and live my life according to my standards. I know that the way to attract my soul mate is to be myself.

I understand that the true secret to finding love is to simply be available to receive it. Chasing love is a dead-end road; I prefer to allow Cupid to take his time finding me. I am patiently waiting for the love of my life to arrive at the perfect time.

Today, I choose to let love come to me. I am confident that love is on its way at this very moment. I spend my time on activities I enjoy, with the confidence that the love of my life will arrive at the right time and in the right place.
