Or do you look at the couple wrinkles on your forehead, or the couple pounds you\u2019ve been meaning to lose and think, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d Don\u2019t let self-hate or those negative thoughts creep into your mind. Write down a list of affirmations and put them in the places where you will see them every day. Repeat them to yourself often and believe them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No judging.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give yourself grace. We tend to be harsher with ourselves than we are with others. If you wouldn\u2019t judge a friend for a certain reason, don\u2019t judge yourself either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No excuses.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you need to give yourself grace, don\u2019t use it as a crutch. You shouldn\u2019t make excuses because you are concerned you won\u2019t succeed at something. Have faith in yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No regrets.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want to try a new sport, a new hobby, or even a new career? Don\u2019t pass on it because you are afraid of the unknown. That doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t do your research. But at the end, when we are breathing our last breath, don\u2019t say, \u2018I wish I had\u2026\u2019 Eat the cake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No quitting.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life is all about the journey, not the destination. Keep working, keep improving, keep trying. Don\u2019t quit \u2013 on yourself, on a joyous life. Sometimes the magic happens when you least expect it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>No negative energy.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these things are meant to keep you from projecting negative energy. When you have a positive light radiating from within you, others will actually be able to see it. Other people with a positive energy will be drawn to you.
