Years ago my career included giving presentations to corporations and associations as a motivational humorist. During this time I was a member of the National Speakers Association and attended many conventions and workshops. One of many interesting, successful and helpful people I met was Bill McGrane from Cincinnati. Bill was a warm, open and sincere person who specialized in programs on self-esteem. He had business card sized cards that he handed out to share his "30 Day Action Plan To Achieve Sound Self-Esteem." This takes the form of six daily affirmations. I came across this little card recently and realized they are still relivent so I thought I'd share them on my blog. Low self-esteem hinders the success path for many people and especially can be a problem for young people. Maybe you know someone who would benefit from these affirmations.
1) I now accept myself totally and unconditionally.
2) I am now free of all self destructive criticism.
3) I now have unconditional warm regards for all persons at all times.
4) I now khow that I am 100% alive by thinking, speaking, and acting with great enthusiasm.
5) I am now completely self determined and I allow others the same right.
6) I now release all comparisons with myself and others.
I want to add one of my own - one that I use constantly:
"All things are now working together for my highest good and the good of all."
Thanks for allowing me to share.
