Affirmations

If you believe the phrase you are what you think, then life truly stems from your thoughts. But we cannot rely purely on thoughts; we must translate thoughts into words and eventually into actions in order to manifest our intentions. This means we have to be very careful with our words, choosing to speak only those which work towards our benefit and cultivate our highest good. Affirmations help purify our thoughts and restructure the dynamic of our brains so that we truly begin to think nothing is impossible. The word affirmation comes from the Latin affirmare, originally meaning "to make steady, strengthen." "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." --J. Lubbock
"In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive."
--Lee Iacocca quotes
"Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are."
--Chinese Proverb
"Things could be a lot worse, the stress of the situation always could be worse, but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for - so I shall not waste my days with stress and frustrations - Life is too short"
--Catherine Pulsifer
"Releasing the pressure, it's good for the teapot and the water. Try it sometime."
--Jeb Dickerson
 
Today, I abandon my old habits and take up new, more positive ones.
I am courageous and I stand up for myself.
Though these times are difficult, they are only a short phase of life.
My fears of tomorrow are simply melting away.
