Make 2006 the year you honour your true desires!

Here’s a general affirmation to help you get started: I am happy.

Simple? Yes, very. But effective nonetheless.

It’s a brand new year which means a brand new start. This is an ideal time to think about what you want to bring into your life and stop focusing on what you don’t.

Take some time today to write down your goals, your dreams, and your aspirations for 2006 and remember - don’t place limits on yourself.

Here are some ideas to help you get started:

• I am a prosperous being
• I am happy, healthy, and financially independent
• I am healthy and live a healthy lifestyle

Whatever your goals may be, use this as an opportunity to develop positive affirmations to help yourself grow in 2006 and beyond!

Though Thanksgiving is a recognized United States holiday, it’s a reminder that we all need to give thanks for that which we’ve received in our lives.

It’s a reminder to stop thinking about and dwelling on the negative and shift our own thoughts to something positive. So, even if you don’t celebrate, create a positive affirmation and hold it in your mind as you go about your day.

A classic that has stood the test of time (feel free to modify it to suit your own needs and desires): I am happy, healthy and prosperous.
