My life has order because everything in it has a place. Being organized helps me achieve balance in my personal life.
I eliminate wasting time searching for things because I know I can find them exactly where they belong. I keep things in their place to reduce clutter and save money by not having to purchase what I already own.
My productivity level increases when I am able to focus on my work and my priorities in an environment free from chaos. I am able to get more work done in less time, allowing me to free my time to spend on more important things like family.
Clutter is absent from my life; instead, I am surrounded by peace and serenity. I am able to set personal goals and achieve them because I am in control of my environment.
Organization helps me succeed. I seldom have to stop my work to look for an item or wonder where my tools are. My concentration improves as I devote more uninterrupted time to my thoughts.
My life is free from stress when I know where things belong. Peace fills my soul when I look across my clean house, organized desk, and neat car.
I am organized because I value the things I own. The extra time that it takes every day to put things back in their place is worth my peace of mind.
Today, I reclaim order in my life. I choose to honor myself by giving the gift of an organized space.

Affirmation: My desire to succeed is more powerful than disappointment.
I am successful because I am driven by my dreams instead of my circumstances. Focusing on my goals helps me overcome disappointment and enables me to accomplish what I set out to do.
Disappointment is sure to come, but how I handle it is what sets me apart from the rest. I refuse to give in to the destructive effects of self-pity.
When I am down, I dust off my knees and get back up again because my dreams are worth the fight. The clouds of disenchantment may try to block my view, but my strong will helps me to look clearly past my current situation.
Even in the face of setbacks, I am at peace because I understand that failure is temporary as long as I learn from it and move on. My attitude remains unchanged, even when my circumstances change.
My ultimate goal is to utilize my abilities to make a difference in the world. I am more concerned with fulfilling my purpose in life than with pleasing everyone around me.
Criticism and disappointment are simply distractions that try to take my attention from the things that matter most. When I catch myself wallowing in self-pity, I snap out of it by reminding myself of my priorities.
When disappointment comes, instead of quitting, I envision myself crossing the finish line. I visualize myself tasting the sweetness of victory that awaits me if I persevere. I tell myself over and over again why I do what I do.

Affirmation: Limits increase my freedom.
Limits are essential in my life because they protect me from destruction and distractions. On the path to success, limits prevent me from missing the mark.
Establishing boundaries to help me organize my life is an act of love. Just like a mother sets restrictions for her children's safety, my boundaries are markers within which I can safely navigate.
When I know where my limits are, I can be confident of the steps I am taking. Uncertainty about boundaries causes me to walk in fear. I establish limits in my life so I may walk without hesitation.
In order to set limits for myself, I must be honest about who I am and what I want out of life. Having a clear vision helps me to identify paths, friendships, and behavior that are conducive to success and those that aren't.
I understand that, while some things may be fun, they may not be beneficial to my life's overall goals. It is in these circumstances that my limits save me from following paths that may lead me astray.

Affirmation: I turn failure into opportunity.
I turn failure into an opportunity for growth by learning from my experiences and proceeding in my journey. By moving forward instead of giving up, I give myself the gift of a new opportunity to fulfill my purpose.
To learn from my experiences, I look at the past objectively. I acknowledge my errors without self-condemnation because mistakes are part of life.
When I fail, I accept it as an opportunity for success. Failure does not mean that I am a bad person; therefore, I am free from internalizing and personalizing disappointment.
In the words of Thomas Edison, "I haven't failed; I've found 10,000 ways that don't work." Each time I seem to fail, I discover another option that can be eliminated.
I intentionally focus on the meaningful lessons of everyday life because life is about purpose and not about the mundane nuisances of my work.
Reaching a dead end may be painful because it is not the outcome I desired, but happiness is not about the absence of pain; rather, it's about the realization of purpose. Who I become, as molded by the experiences of my journey, is as important to me as where I finish.
When I feel overwhelmed by seemingly impossible circumstances, I remind myself that, from where I stand, I can only see a small glimpse of the big picture of my life. I turn that discouragement into opportunity by refusing to give up.
Today, I choose to have faith and trust that there is a plan for my life bigger than what my eyes can see. No matter how many times I fail, I resolve to get up and continue to follow my dreams.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Do I need to forgive myself for a past failure?
2. What lessons have I learned from a recent failure?
3. How has failure helped me redirect my dreams?
To learn from my experiences, I look at the past objectively. I acknowledge my errors without self-condemnation because mistakes are part of life.

Affirmation: I live each day on purpose.
I prevent my days from turning into weeks, then months, then years, by setting out to live each day with a plan and purpose.
I refuse to allow life to happen to me while I simply react to it. Armed with a plan and the knowledge of my purpose, I greet each day ready to do what I need to do.
When I think of the year ahead of me, I want to make every single day count, starting with today. Living each day on purpose puts me in the driver's seat of my life.
Every decision I make, I make intentionally, with the goal of getting one step closer to fulfilling my purpose. I have become proactive by eliminating my habit of putting things off until later.
Haphazard living is over for me. I am an adult fully capable for taking charge of my own life. The power to change my days lies within me.
I have removed myself from the sidelines and I have become an active participant in the game of life. Instead of watching my life unfold, I am now the co-author of my life's success story.
My friends and family are cheering me on as I make life-changing decisions. They support my plans to better myself and are inspired by my progress. My loved ones begin to take charge of their own lives, also, as they see my success.
Today, I choose to take action and do what needs to be done today. The "catch-up" game is over and I am in control of my destiny.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How can I better plan my days for success?
2. How can I make my life count today?
3. What is one thing I have been putting off that I can accomplish today?
