I will:    A statement of positive change in your life

This is a positive affirmation of a change you want to achieve. It is a positive statement of what you want to happen. It is a success prophecy for your secret to happiness.  Examples include:

I will like myself better each day.
I will gain emotional strength each day.
I will control my temper today.
I will give others responsibility for their lives today.
I will grow emotionally stronger each day.

I will take care of me today.
I will challenge myself to change today.
I will manage my time better today.
I will handle my finances wisely today.

I will choose to happy today.

The daily use of these “I” statements is another form of self-affirmation designed to counter negative self-concept. It can result in a positive attitude, optimism, and can motivate you toward emotional growth and progress in your choice to choose happiness.

Another good way to focus on the positive in your life is to make up some affirmation cards and place them in places where you will see them often.

These forms of affirmation are words, phrases, or statements written on 3 x 5 index cards and placed where you can see them daily and be reminded of positive aspects about you. Every time you see these affirmation cards they will remind you to affirm yourself about these positive qualities or attributes. State all affirmations in a positive way.

Here are some places to put your affirmation cards:

mirror in bathroom                dashboard of car
mirror on dresser                  desk at office
closet door                              desk at home
refrigerator door                    in your wallet
front door                               in your brief case
bedroom door                        in books you use at work or school
at your telephone

Try some of these words to put on your affirmation cards:

bright                                       capable
creative                                   strong
intelligent                               beautiful
smart                                      giving
quick                                       peaceful
loving                                      hopeful
caring                                      responsible
successful                               problem solver
calm                                        quiet
pretty                                      handsome
relaxed                                   enjoyable

Consider some of these phrases as well:

think happy                             take it easy
be calm                                   think wisely
take action                              work smart
do it                                         take the time
do it now                                 have fun
