I wake up feeling hopeful and energetic. I love and accept myself. I remember that I deserve to be happy. I have the power to make each day amazing.
I learn something new. I read books and watch educational videos. I talk with others who are experts in their fields. Each creature I meet has something that they can teach me.
I spend time with family and friends. I turn off the TV so we can talk or do enriching activities together. Connecting with others makes me feel loved and understood.
I help others. I make small talk with someone at the supermarket who looks like they want to chat. I offer to shovel snow for neighbors who are elderly or disabled.
I open up to a different point of view. I try to find common ground with someone I usually disagree with.
I listen to music. I make workouts and washing dishes more fun by putting on my favorite playlists. I sing and dance along.
I create a work of art. I express my creativity by writing a story or drawing a picture. I find inspiration in my own life experiences or by studying the work of others. I express my feelings and make a statement that I can contemplate alone or share with the world.
I make my home and workspace more comfortable and beautiful. Painting a wall or buying a pillow gives me a boost.
Today, I dedicate myself to having a wonderful day. I enjoy the journey and accomplish great things.
