I Enjoy Being Me



What a wonderfully unique person I am!

I love how it feels to be me.  I enjoy my life and cherish all the little nuances that occur every day.

I am where I am in life because of the choices I made and the work I put into being precisely who I am.  I am exactly the person I want to be.

I will continue to grow and learn new things.  I will continue to experience new things in life and transform for the better; this is part of being me.

I have surrounded myself with wonderful people and I enjoy who I am when I am with them.

I enjoy who I am when I am alone as well.  I take pleasure in self-reflection and I appreciate how I permit myself to enjoy solitude.

I am fun and caring.  I am talented and trustworthy.  I am glad to be just who I am.

Today, I will have a special date with myself and plan a time where I can simply enjoy being me.  I will do things I like to do and focus on the pure enjoyment of my time with me.

What are my best attributes?
What have I enjoyed doing by myself?
How do I show myself appreciation for being the wonderful person I am?

The Joy of Laughter

When you laugh, your brain produces natural mood elevators that free you from pain and suffering. Laughter is therapeutic. Humour can transform your emotions and mind and it can cure your body. Laughter helps you keep your life in perspective.

Laugh at yourself more. It helps to keep your life in perspective. I know, I was one of those people who wanted to do everything right. Who does everything right? No one. When I let go of this and started laughing at my silly small mistakes, life was more enjoyable, less pressure.

When was the last time you had a good laugh? It’s time to make laughter a priority. Maybe it’s time you watched your favourite comedy or borrowed a joke book from the library. Do something to bring laughter into your life and enjoy yourself.
