Choose your positive affirmation sentence

Something that makes you proud. It can be anything like "I am proud of the person I am becoming." Or it can be "every day I am getting closer to my ideal body weight." Or "I am proud of my career choices which led to the salary I now earn ". The sentences should be believable but, more importantly, effective in lending themselves to elevating a particularly positive feeling.

Try it & notice it

Reinforcing the habit and your gratitude in conjunction.
