\u201cThree things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.\u201d – Buddha<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every single day you are confronted with negative things that run the risk of destroying your happiness and your overall sense of well-being. <\/p>\n

When you hear negativity on a regular basis, it is easy to buy into it. <\/p>\n

Don’t! <\/p>\n

Don’t let yourself get caught up in other people’s drama. You have the power to make your day great. <\/p>\n

You can squeeze out the negative thoughts by reminding yourself of the things that truly matter. This extremely powerful and effective method is often referred to as self-talk. Think of it as giving yourself a little pep talk every day to help keep you focused and ultimately\u2014positive. <\/p>\n

Here are 10 truths to keep telling yourself every day so you can see more of what\u2019s good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\tI am proud of who I am<\/strong>. You don’t need anybody’s acceptance or affirmation. You have made mistakes and you have triumphed and become the person you are today. <\/p>\n

2.\tI have a lot to smile about<\/strong>. You truly do. Some days it may be a little tougher to find those things, but a blooming flower, a friendly smile from a neighbor or walking in the grass with your bare feet are all things to smile about. <\/p>\n

3.\tI don’t need to dwell on yesterday<\/strong>. Yesterday is gone and you don’t have to think about what happened or what you should have done. Focus on the present and do what you can to have a better tomorrow. <\/p>\n

4.\tI can make the time to do the things I truly enjoy<\/strong>. Don’t fall into the trap of skipping out on doing something you love because you don’t have the time. You do. <\/p>\n

5.\tEveryone deserves to be treated with respect<\/strong>. You, nor anybody you encounter, deserves to be treated with anything less than kindness and respect. <\/p>\n

6.\tI can choose to be happy<\/strong>. You don’t have to let outside factors take away your happiness. You have control of that. <\/p>\n

7.\tI am worthy of love<\/strong>. Sometimes, it can feel as if you have made mistakes that make you unworthy of being loved. That isn’t the case at all. You deserve to be loved and you will be. <\/p>\n

8.\tI am not perfect and I don’t have to be<\/strong>. Nobody is and your imperfections are what make you unique and special. <\/p>\n

9.\tI can make a difference in my life<\/strong>. You have the power to make decisions that will make your life better. You can work harder, play more and be happier. <\/p>\n

10.\tHonesty is always the best policy<\/strong>. You must be honest with yourself and others. Accept your shortcomings and those of others and be honest. It is the only way to start changing the world. <\/p>\n
