Consider these empowering beliefs that you can start using today to transform you into your best self, your authentic self…your infinite self.

I understand my potential. You can achieve amazing results when you put your mind to it. Feel excited about reaching your true potential.


I count my blessings. List each thing that you have to be grateful for. Remember to include the smaller items, like a cozy sweater or peppermint tea. Expressing your appreciation reminds you of the abundant lifestyle you really have.


I learn from mistakes. You can make setbacks work for you by focusing on the lessons that they contain. ‘Failures’ make great successes, if you just allow them.


I find meaning in adversity. Tough times can be the most rewarding phase of your life. Know that you can emerge from any challenge with greater wisdom and courage. Look back at the obstacles you’ve already overcome, and reassure yourself that you can handle what’s ahead. Think of life’s lessons as gifts.


I embrace change. Accept that life is a series of changes. Focus on the present moment, and prepare yourself to adapt to whatever circumstances come your way. Change = growth.


I dream big. Expand your wish list. Setting demanding but attainable goals gives you adventures to look forward to each day.


I practice forgiveness. Lighten your load by clearing away any resentment you’re holding onto from the past. Set reasonable boundaries while you respond with compassion when others disappoint you. Ask to see the incident from a different perspective.


I give generously. Sharing your blessings makes you more powerful and joyful. Volunteer in your community and speak kindly to each person you meet today. Give someone a compliment and watch how it affects them (and YOU!)

I take responsibility. You are in charge of your life. Hold yourself accountable for the outcomes you create. Celebrate the fact that you have the power to determine your own future and write your own story.


I apply effort. Figure out your definition of success so you know what is worth working for. Give yourself credit and celebrate your wins.


I leverage my strengths. You have your own individual strengths that you can draw on. Figure out what you’re good at and what you want to do. Let that knowledge guide your choices.


I listen to feedback. Ask for feedback so you can enhance your performance and show others that you respect their point of view. You grow faster and more authentic when you gather solid input that you can translate into action.


I ask for help. Expand your capabilities by building a sturdy support network. Carpool with other parents. Divide up household chores with your spouse and children. Learn to let go of all that control and delegate.


I connect with others. Moral support counts too. Surround yourself with loving and encouraging family and friends. Participate actively in your faith community. Join a club with members who share your interest in personal growth or cooking.


I recognize opportunities. Stay alert for promising openings. You may meet a new friend while you’re standing in line to buy your morning coffee. Everyone comes into our lives for a reason and everything is presented at the perfect time/space sequence.


I try new things. Be open to experimentation. Go kayaking one weekend instead of watching Netflix. Bake your own bread or knit a scarf. You may discover hidden talents.
