8 affirmations for happiness

I like feeling good, and happy. Don't you too? I like knowing I can be in charge of my thoughts, and deliberately choosing them, to feel good. I did not know I could. And I like knowing I can think happy thoughts to evoke feeling happy. I didn't know the relation between the two either.

Sometimes it is hard, because of not paying attention and not being aware of my thoughts, but rather being aware of circumstances, and reacting rather then responding. I did not know I could be aware of my thoughts. I did not know I could not react upon them. I did not know I can choose. I like feeling happy. And I like other people feeling happy. Don't you too?

I really love this one. We can try and we become masters by failing, and trying again and again. Being aware slowly and surely replace not being aware. Responding, slowly and surely replace not reacting upon our negative thoughts and circumstances. Every bit of awareness count. Every repetition of positive affirmation count. Every small win counts.
