I love the person I see when I look in the mirror. When I stand before myself, I see a beautiful, talented, hard-working individual willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill my dreams.
Not only do I love my personality, but I also love my physical appearance. In my inner dialogue, I build myself up with encouragement. Criticism is absent from my mind.
Whenever I am displeased with what I see, I make adjustments to my lifestyle to achieve the desired results. I make every necessary effort to be the person I want to look at. I work out on a regular basis to keep my body in the shape it deserves.
I am the only one who determines what I want to look like. As long as I love what I see in the mirror, the opinions of others are irrelevant.
When I stand before my own reflection in the mirror, I am filled with pride at who I am. The sacrifices I make daily to improve my image are paying off.
Loving who I see in the mirror requires forgiving myself of past wrongs and being patient with myself as I progress toward my goals.
At mealtimes, I keep in mind that everything I eat has an effect on my body. Having this mentality helps me exercise good judgment during meals.
Today, I choose to embrace myself just the way I am. I choose to accept my imperfections and work on the things that I desire to change.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What is my favorite physical attribute?
2. What is one thing I would like to change?
3. How can I make my inner dialogue more encouraging?

Affirmation: I am a team player.
Being a team player has more to do with my attitude than with the amount of work that I take on. The way I interact with my team is just as important as my contributions.
As a team player, I often have to lay down my ego for the benefit of the team. I am willing to perform tasks that I dislike in order for my team to profit in the end. Pride and arrogance are absent from my attitude.
I am willing to listen to the ideas and input of other team members. When other members of my team have ideas better than my own, I support them whole-heartedly, without jealousy.
Before our meetings, I plan in advance so I can be prepared to participate actively in the discussion. I am on time for meetings in order to send the message to my team that I value their time.
My teammates know that they can count on me because I demonstrate commitment. I value each member of my team and what they bring to the table. People are receptive to me because I respect their individual strengths and weaknesses.
I am courageous enough to admit when I am wrong and ask for help when I need it. I am humble enough to help others when they fall short.
When there is a misunderstanding, I address it promptly without allowing it to fester. I am open-minded and genuine with my teammates.
Today, I choose to be a team player and support those around me because we need each other in order to be successful.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How can I eliminate bias that I may bring to my team?
2. Do I value the ideas of others as much as my own?
3. What do my timelines and preparation say about me as a team member?

Affirmation: Giving back to the community is my pleasure.
I enjoy giving back to the community through community service, charitable donations, and volunteering. I am constantly looking for new ways to get involved through programs and partnerships.
When I give back to the community, I feel like I am making a difference in the world, one act of kindness at a time. Caring for one another is a human responsibility that we have for each other.
Giving back to my community makes me feel connected to those around me. When I volunteer, I meet other people who share a passion for improving my community. I also meet those who are less fortunate and simply need someone to care.
I can easily be part of the positive change by finding a list of community service events in my area and getting involved, or even starting my own. Whether I read to a child in a school or help build a home for someone, the impact is great.
If I am unable to actively participate during a season due to other commitments, I give financial support to help organizations that reach out on a regular basis to those in need.
Giving back requires that I put others before me and place myself in their shoes. I am blessed to have the ability to give my strength and funds to help others. Giving to others is rewarding!
Today, I reflect on all the blessings I have been given with a thankful heart. From this day forward, I choose to become more involved in my community and share my blessings by offering my time as a volunteer.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How has my community helped me become who I am?
2. Does my city have a community service calendar where I can volunteer?
3. Is there an organization that I can support financially?
