Affirmations for the New Year

Another year is coming to an end. Sigh. 

For our new beginning tomorrow, maybe we can add some affirmations as part of our routine? Let me share a few samples that I picked up from the book, "In the Company of Women":

I say the following affirmation first thing every morning:

"God goes before me making things smooth and easy; clearing my way. No person, place or thing or outside condition can affect me. I am power. I am worthy. I am free. I am creative. I am unique. I am confident. And so it is." - Carla Hall (Chef and TV Host)

"I have been doing a gratitude list for the last year. Every day I think of three things that I accomplished or experienced the day before that I am grateful for. The trick is to think about each one in full so that it doesn't become rote; with each thing that I am grateful for, I have to expand upon it to think about why I feel grateful. It's a nice way to start the day and a reminder that although some days I feel like I'm barely raising the dust, I am actually moving mountains." - Karen Young (Product Designer and Entrepreneur)

Whether it's one line or an entire paragraph, borrowed words or something we've written, affirmations will surely attract positivity in our day, our week, our year.  

Happy New Year everyone!
