I am organized & in control of my life. I am in control of myself, my thoughts, my time, my actions and my future

I know what to do and when to do it, and I do everything I need to do, when I need to do it

I program my mind to make the maximum use of my time. I am in control of my time and how to use it. I like being organized, efficient, and on top of things. Controlling my time keeps me that way

I never waste time - I always "plan" time. And because I plan my time I always have time to do the things I choose to do.

Each day I become more organized and in control of all areas of my life - at home, at work, in my mind and in my thoughts, in everything I do

I am very well organized. Each night I make a list of things I need to do the next day. I set my priorities and I follow them

I am always on time. I am always right where I need to be, exactly when I need to be there. Being on time is easy for me and the more I control my time and the more organized I become, the easier it is

I am in control of my feelings, my emotions, my attitudes and my needs. I contrl them; they do not control me

I have the winning vote in the outcome of my own actions. And I choose to live my life by choice not by chance. Therefore, I take the time to take control.

I have an organized and orderly mind. Because I think in an organized way, I conduct my life in an organized manner

I think in the most positive and productive way at all times and in all things. The way I think is the way I live - and I think "right"

I am the director of my destiny. I know what I am going and I know why I am going there. My earthly life is in my hands and in my control

I control my goals and the achievement of my goals. I organize my goals by writing each of them down, along with the steps I need to reach them. One of the reason for my success is that my goals are clearly defined and organized

I am in complete control of what I think and how I think. Therefore, I choose to think only those thoughts which help me and which are of genuine benefit to me


I give myself enough time for things that need to get done and enough time for things I'd like to do

Motivation;
<IMG class="inline_image" ALIGN="left" SRC="http://pualib.com/images/pua-masters/An ... bins-1.jpg">
I can do anything I believe I can do! I've got it and every day I get more of it. I have talents, skills and ability

I set goals and I reach them. I know what i want out of life. I go after it and I get it

People like me, and I feel good about myself. I have a sense of pride in who I am and I believe in myself

Nothing seems to stop me. I have alot of determination. I turn problems into advantages. I find possibilities in things that other people never give a chance

I have alot of energy - I am very alive! I enjoy life and I can tell it and so can others. I keep myself up, looking ahead and liking it

I know that I can accomplish anything I choose, and I refuse to let anything negative hold me back or stand in my way

I am not afraid of anything or anyone. I have strength, power, conviction, and confidence! I like challenges and I meet them head on, face to face - today especially!

I am on top of the world and I'm going for it. I have a clear picture in my mind of what I want. I can see it in front of me. I know what i want and I know how to get it. I know that it's all up to me and I know I can do it

Roadblocks don't bother me. They just means that I am alive and running, and I'm not going to stand still for anything

I trust myself. I've got what it takes -plenty of it - and I know how to use it. Today, more than ever. Today I am unstoppable! I've gotten myself together and I'm getting more together every day. And today - look out world, here i come!

Limitations? I don't even recognize them as limitations. There is no challenge I can't conquer; there is no wall I can't climb over. There is no problem I can't defeat or turn around and make it work for me

I stand tall! I am honest and sincere. I like to deal with people and they like me. I think well; I think clearly. I am organized; I am in control of myself and everything about me

I call my shots and no one has to call them for me. I never blame anyone else for the circumstances of my life. I accept my failings and move past them as easily as I accept the rewards for my victories

I never demand perfection of myself, but I expect the very best of what I have to give - and that's what I get!

I never give myself excuses. I get things done on time and in the right way. Today I have the inner strength to do more than ever

I am an exceptional human being. My goals and my incredible belief in myself turn my goals into reality. I have the power to live my dreams. I believe in them like I believe in myself. And that belief is so strong that there is nothing that diminishes my undefeatable spirit.

Mike, your killing me!!!! LOL....
I just read Responsibilitys, OMG Thats great, I get it!!! My secondard gains!!! Awsome, I'll continue on reading and printing,,, your overloading my printer. LOL...

ah o...Solving problems seams like a thorn sticking up at me. I thought that was a strenght but as I read on, I am weak here.

When I meet a new problem, I do not see the problem as my enemy. I know that finding the solution to the problem will move me forward in my own personal growth

I need to keep that one handy.

I do not fear problems, I solve them. I do not ignore problems, I confront them. I do not avoid problems, I conquer them!

I need to improve here...

I am good at breaking larger obsticals down into smaller pieces that are easier to handle. And I never make any problems appear to be larger than it actually is

This is what I'm trying to do. I have been much better at slowing down my thoughts, breaking things down to smaller peices and not making them look so large or large and scarey.

I AM VERY CREATIVE AND CAN VISUALIZE VERY WELL.
Very Very good.

I have to think about these other two. My mind has just expanded too large! LOL... Boy they are good things to think about though. I'll report back. Good stuff.

LOL ya i have alot of affirmations. I make a script a day.

Ya i guess the responsibilities do have alot of counter affirmations for secondary gains. The anxiety script i wrote has a few for secondary gains as well. It took awhile to create that one because there was alot to take into account and I have realized there are a few things i want to address in there that will have to have their own scripts...things like obsessive thoughts (which i'm experiencing now because of my situation with my meds) and guilt (which i think i'm done but i'm going to recheck with the lesson in the program).

The trick is to use highlighters with diffrent colors and highlight the affirmations each with a diff color so it does not look so overwhelming.

You could also get someone to record the affirmations on tape or you could do it yourself and listen to it while you are doing things like dishes or whatever. I'm not sure it really matters if you actively listen or not.

Affirmations for guilt; (a little long)
<IMG class="inline_image" ALIGN="left" SRC="http://niki.illyria.tv/walls/js_guilt.jpg">

I deserve to feel happy and enjoy life. I feel no guilt for doing the things I want to do. I still get things done and I know my time limits

I analyze my guilt. If I come up with no logical reason to feel guilty then I let it go

I forgive myself for past mistakes and I do what it takes to right the wrongs and prevent it from happening again, if I can't, then I just let it go

Doing things wrong is no excuse to hurt myself and I don't. It says nothing about me, it only reflects my behavior.

I use guilt and worry as a signal to start problem solving. I don't dwell and feel sorry for myself.

I am not my behavior so if I have acted poorly, I cannot be ashamed of myself, only the behavior.

I do not feel guilty about my thoughts. Thoughts are only thoughts and by themselves they mean nothing. I do not pay attention to hurtful thoughts towards myself or others

I make no decisions based on guilt, I use logic and reasoning and my desire for the brightest future for everyone

I do not see guilt as my enemy, I listen to and appreciate the message it gives me to get back on track or do something to fix the situation and that is what I do

I deserve all the good things in my life and all the good people. I deserve relaxation because I work hard, I deserve joy, love, excitement and happiness and respect

I do not push myself into doing extra things when I'm feeling exhausted and drained. I take care of myself and most of the time I can do those things later

There is no place in my life for destructive guilt and the extra energy I get I am going to use to effortlessly, lovingly and joyously, change and progress

I do not feel ashamed or guilty if I say something wrong. Everybody says things wrong. It does not make me a bad person

My motivation comes from the desire to do good, learn, grow and the benefits I get out of doing the task. I focus on the pleasure I will get

I take action when something is important to me

I accept and forgive myself for mistakes, slip ups, fall backs and lack of action when it comes to learning new skills and habits. The only consequence is that I go back to my old habits and then I get right back on track with my goals

If I fall short of a goal, I recognize it, learn, improve and do what I need to in order to do better next time without judgement or criticism to myself.

There is no one way to do anything

I do not feel guilty if I have to quit a job, move to a new place or end a bad relationship. Taking care of myself is my main priority. As long as I give enough notice, It will be fine

I do not feel guilty for saying no to another person's demands. I do things for people when I genuinely want to do those things

People are capable of solving problems the same way that I am. It is not hopeless or impossible for them if I turn them down. I am not the only person that can help and not the only person who can do a good job

Life gives myself and everybody else the opportunities to grow and the resources they need. I do not have to be the person that fixes everything and everybody. I allow others to learn the lessons they are suppose to learn.

Like me, others are responsible for their actions, choices, emotions and behaviors. I do not take blame for what I am not responsible for.

I do not give up my needs and respect or goals out of guilt to myself or others. Disrespecting myself only makes myself and everybody else feel bad and I don't go there

I take responsibility for my thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I do not allow others to control me through guilt.

I am intelligent and don't take things at face value. I use logic and questioning to see through the manipulation of others



Mike

Again, they are very good! A script a day? Good for you. You should write a book, Mike. Not everyone can do that!

Do you think your meds are helping you more that the side effects are bothering you? Just wondering how you feel about that? I have not been on meds for any extended periods of time. I don't have much experance with that one. The only px I have taken was xanax. I still have it, and I will use it if I feel the need. I am not ashamed or will I feel bad if I do take some. As of late, I'm good. Thats a biggie for me.

Oh your colored highlighters trick is good. I will do that! It can get overwhelming...

The guilt ones are really good too! I will post something later on those, I'm slow! LOL... I like them all but a few are real good ones for me.

Like me, others are responsible for their actions, choices, emotions and behaviors. I do not take blame for what I am not responsible for.

Like this one.

I accept and forgive myself for mistakes, slip ups, fall backs and lack of action when it comes to learning new skills and habits. The only consequence is that I go back to my old habits and then I get right back on track with my goals

My new Motto!

Ya i just didn't make one yestaurday but oh well. You mean write a book of affirmation scripts?

Well my meds help with the obsessive thoughts mostly and they help to make me happy but they don't do much about the anxiety symptoms. I don't know how to answer that question though.

Ya nobody needs to be ashamed for taking meds. We didn't give ourselves this condition and taking care of ourselves is definately not shameful...its rediculous to be shameful for that.

The Highlighter thing makes it soooo much easier to read

I put alot into guilt script. I didn't get every angle but i'm going to take care of the rest in other scripts like expectations, love, sex.

I really like that last one you quoted as well its very useful!


Mike

Self-esteem;
<IMG class="inline_image" ALIGN="left" SRC="http://www.positive-thinking-for-you.co ... quotes.jpg">
I really am very special. I like who I am and feel good about myself

Althought I always work to improve myself and I get better everyday, I like who I am today. And tomorrow, when I'm even better, I'll like myself then too!

Its true that there really is no one else like me in this entire world.

I am unique - from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. In some ways I may look and act like some others - but I am not them. I am me.

I wanted to be somebody - and now I know I am. I would rather be me than anybody else in the world

I like how I feel and I like how I think and like how I do things. I approve of me and I approve of who I am

I have many beautiful qualities about me. I have talents and skills and abilities. I even have talents that I don't know yet. And I am discovering new talents inside of myself all the time

I am positive. I am confident. I radiate good positive energy. If you look closely, you can even see a glow around me

I am full of life, I love life, I am very glad to be alice

I am intelligent. My mind is quick and alert and clever and fun. I think good thoughts, and my mind makes things work for me

I have alot of energy and enthusiasm and vitality. I am exciting and I really enjoy being me

I like to be around other people and other people like to be around me. People like to hear what I have to say and know what I have to think

I smile alot. I am happy on the inside and happy on the outside

I am interested in many things. I appreciate all the blessing I have and the things that I learn and all the things i will learn today and tomorrow and forever - just as long as I am

I choose to be around healthy people who compliment my life and encourage me

I am warm, sincere, honest and genuine. I am all these things and more. And all of these things are me. I like who I am, and I'm glad to be me

I respect my body and do what I need to take care of it. I respect my mind and I respect my limitations. I take the time to relax and let things go.

I fell the same about myself regardless of if I defend myself or not

I accept myself for who I am without judgement or criticism

I accept myself for who I am without fear of rejection from others

I accept myself for who I am without fear of judgement and criticism from others


Adding 2 new ones after reading your post in My onion, THH

I trust myself and I have trust in my abilities and my memory.

I am not defined by my ailments, weaknesses or short comings. I am a great person with or without them
