Tell yourself something good
+++++++++++++++++++
Tell yourself something good about yourself. Tell yourself something good about someone close to you.
Tell yourself something good about the day ahead. Tell yourself something good about living in this world, about the possibilities that extend out in front of you right now.
Tell yourself something good, and take it to heart. Remind yourself of the beauty, the wonder, of small actions that can make a big difference.
Tell yourself something good about this day, about how you can contribute to the way it unfolds. Tell yourself something good about this situation, about all you can do to make it even better.
Too often, the impressions that slide into your awareness are not especially helpful or nourishing. Choose to reverse that negative bias by telling yourself something good, something true, something wonderful.
Tell yourself about all you can do to give life more meaning, more substance, more joy. Tell yourself something good, and let that goodness come to life through you.
