Affirmation: I am Happy that My Thoughts are Positive

My thoughts are the determining factor of my attitude and mood. If I can manage what I think about, I can control myself and my life.

I recognize my negative thoughts result in negative emotions and a pessimistic outlook, while positive ones do the reverse. I know that we usually get what we expect. Therefore, I always hope for the best.

I can perform at my best if my thoughts stay positive. I appreciate life more when I engage in positive thinking.

It is sometimes difficult to control my thoughts, but my capacity to do so is growing fast. I make conscious efforts to keep my mind focused on the positives in all situations.

I ask myself questions that permit my mind to sustain a positive outlook. I ask, “What is good about this situation,” or, “What is the soundest decision that I can make right now,” or, “What is comical about this?”

When I fail to control my thoughts, they can lead me down negative pathways. If I catch myself thinking negatively, I rapidly stop and redirect my thoughts. I have many positive ideas I can use to replace negative thoughts.

A positive thought is my key to both happiness and success. I take my ideas seriously and give this part of my life my full attention.

I screen my thoughts and keep a positive attitude. I control my mind. My thinking is positive and productive.
