Today I Will...

I like to focus on things for just the day, like, 'Today I will remember how lucky I am', or 'Today I will be compassionate with people'. It helps me focus on the 'now', and I really believe I can do my best for a day.

Affirmation of Strength

I have always loved, 'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger', or (the softened version), 'What challenges me can make me stronger'. I love reminding myself that a) I'm stronger than I think, and b) tough times can be mined for gems of personal growth!
