All of us can improve the quality of our lives if we practice the art of self-care and train our minds to think thoughts that make us feel good.

Today I don't have to fit into anyone else's emotional atmosphere.

We are the ones who suffer when we hold on to past grievances.

I love and approve of myself. I love and approve of my body. I feed it nourishing foods and beverages. I exercise it in ways that are fun.

Stop giving your precious energy to things that make you feel bad.

That's the way life works: gratitude and appreciation just bring more goodness. Remember: Everything we give out comes back. Gratitude has all sorts of little, surprising rewards.

The more we listen to ourselves and make positive changes based on what we discover, the more interesting life becomes.
