We’re on day 14 of a thirty-day series on increasing our skills to focus our energies.

Over the years, I’ve realized that many of the “tapes” that play in our minds are constantly on, and when we want to change our situation, we first address changing the “tape” that runs our subconscious, which put us into our situation in the first place.

I’ve put together a collection of mantras, or mottos, that you might want to write out, or print out, and use in your own daily life.

I am strong.
I am wise.
I am brave.
I am beautiful.
I take care of myself.
I am responsible.
I value and respect myself.
My thoughts, feelings, words and actions are valuable.
