Introducing: Moments of Empowerment

Beliefnet teamed up with author Charlene Proctor to record video affirmations that help calm and inspire.

Affirmations are a simple tool we can use to feel better about ourselves. By repeating aloud or silently the positive things we want for our lives, we train our minds to move past other people's views and our own internal scripts to embrace new and joyful possibilities. According to Charlene Proctor, Ph.D., affirmations help "arrest the impulse to self-doubt and give you more energy to focus your attention on a life filled with prosperity, love, good health, and happiness."

Use the following affirmations by Dr. Proctor to help you reframe some of the daily challenges of life. Sit back, relax, and remember to breathe.

Illness * Gratitude * Aging * Organization * Relationships * Need * Self-Image * New Home * Feeling Unappreciated * Sick Child * No Help with Chores * Lost Pet * Unpleasant People * No Time for Self
