Life is way too short to spend another day at war with yourself.

Life does not need to fulfil my expectations in order for me to be happy. For me to be happy, I need to be able to respond to life's happenings with patience, hope and reason.

The loudest and most important voice is my own - as I become convinced of my own worth, no other voice will be able to convince me otherwise.

I don't have to meet the standard of flawless perfection in order to be beautiful, significant, valuable, and loveable.

Today I am going to turn the volume up on the voices that tell me that I am worthy, loveable and important simply because I am me.

Focusing on my strengths and my past achievements will give me more confidence to face future challenges than any amount of worry will.

If I stopped everything that I'm doing and never did it again, my value as a person would not change.

Unforeseen difficulties sometimes require the lowering of expectations and the acceptance of mistakes.

As I become more positive about who I am as a person, I will no longer rely on my body as a source of self-worth.

Taking time to care for myself is not an irresponsible act of selfishness, but a responsible act of love.

I am allowed to have days when my vision seems too hard to achieve. They can be a sign I am facing a challenge, not a sign I should accept defeat.

I am the only one in all of history who can offer my unique combination of strengths, passions and perspective. I am significant.

Humans love humans: messy, complicated, uncertain, journeying, beautiful humans. I don't have to be perfect to be lovable.

If I look to the cracked mirror of the world to shape my identity, I will mistakenly believe that the brokenness is mine.

When I recognise and appreciate the treasure already within me, others start to notice and appreciate it too.

Worry is a mouse in an elephant costume; it tries to appear bigger and more powerful than it actually is.

Learning my triggers will allow me to develop strategies to deal with situations before anger takes over.

Learning to accept my true self is the journey of a lifetime. Today I choose to take the first step.

When I replace "I should" with "I would like", I am free to make a choice.

My worth is not dependent on how my achievements compare to others. My achievements can stand on their own.

I am the only one who can offer my unique contribution to the world; I am significant.
