The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast

I am one bad mofo!

You were created to be amazing, and in fact you are.  Maybe you don’t feel “there” yet.  Maybe you feel that there are holes or errors in the person you are.  Maybe you feel that you haven’t “matured” enough yet.  The only reason you aren’t where you want to be is because you have forgotten you are one bad mofo.  God created you with purpose and made you a warrior in being a great presence within this world.  To be great we must first remember we are great already.

I am a magnet for strength.

Thinking we are strong helps us to bring stronger things into our lives. There were times in my life where I kept asking “why me,” instead of asking “why not me?  Why not learn from this and become stronger?”  Every challenge that has come your way is not the gods of bad luck coming down on you, but rather the universe saying “I am going to prove to you how strong you are.  Just have a little faith in me and in yourself.”  Strength comes in many forms and you are a magnet for what you focus on.

I love my life! I love who I am, I love what I have been given, and I will make each moment count!

The world we live in talks so much about kindness.  Love your neighbor, love your spouse, love your children, and love thy enemy.  But to love all of those things we must learn to love ourselves first. The art of self-kindness is something that we have slipped on.  It may be from reasons of not wanting people to judge us as looking selfish, that we think we don’t deserve kindness, or that we have too many things going on and we don’t have time to be kind to ourselves.  Have as many friends as you like, but your best friend should be YOU.  We all are connected, and if we can’t love ourselves then we can never fully love anything outside of us.  People who love themselves deeply, not vainly, make the most of their lives because you would never waste anyone’s time that you love.

I will love my body, mind, and soul today by doing healthy things that make me feel good.

It can be easy to get caught in the monotony of the day and get caught in the hustle and bustle of life as we go towards what is comfortable and quick.  It’s easy to do the instant fix--to give into instant gratification.  Health doesn’t come from being perfect in our eating, in our working out, or in our thoughts but it comes from being deliberate in making the better choice in the moment.  We should not beat ourselves up from our mistakes but look at them as learning lessons.  The lesson is in knowing that health isn’t something we do because it’s required and we have to do it, but rather that it makes us better and it feels good to be better.

My mind is always on.  I will command it to work on a solution when I’m feeling stuck.

Our mind never shuts off.  Why not be purposeful and give it a command to work on things while you step away from a problem for a bit?  The mind is such a powerful entity that we haven’t fully learned all of its possibilities yet.  When we give our brain a clear intention, it clears the market noise in our head that has been getting in the way.  It clears the fog that has kept us from finding the solution from the problem we are working on.  Be deliberate and give your brain a command to help you come to an answer.  Stop wasting energy spinning your wheels trying to force an answer to come.  Your brain works amazingly on its own.  Allow your brain to work without pressure, and give it a command to do what it was meant to do-find answers naturally.

I have beautiful gifts to share with world, and today I will bring my best to everything I do.

I hear people say that I am not pretty, I am not unique, or I’m ordinary.  We have forgotten that we were created with great attention to detail, that we were created with great purpose, and that we were meant to be amazing.  You are NOT meant to be anyone else.  You are meant to be your own unique flavor of awesomeness.  Find what you enjoy, find what you are good at, find what you wish for your life, and find ways to go towards it with 100% of your effort.  The reason you don’t reach your goals is not due to your ability, but more to the fact that you have not instilled the best belief systems in yourself.  When you have created a belief that you are meant to do what you set your mind to, it will help you to feel so confident in yourself that you will ONLY be able to give 100% of yourself towards what you want.  There is no plan B, you were meant to shine and be AWESOME!

I will never give up or give in. I’ve just not tried enough possibilities.

Adversity seems to be a forgotten blessing these days.  We look at an obstacle as something that is undesirable.  We have forgotten that all great men and women have had their fair share of obstacles.  We look only on the surface and think it came easy for them.  We don’t see that they had a clear intent, that they saw ONLY the vision of what they wanted happening, and that there was NO possibility of failure.  If what you are setting out to do is not working, take a look at the other possibilities that you might have avoided or not even thought about.  When you can look at all your possibilities, it will make it much easier to find the right combination to open the locked thing you desire.

I am just as purposeful in my relaxation as I am in my work.

Life can seem like you never get a break, like you never get enough rest, or like you never get a chance to catch your breath from one problem to the next.  We are never at our strongest when we are consistently thinking about WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING.  Our bodies and minds need rest.  That is why we sleep, so we can let the mind regroup and create better connections with the thoughts we have throughout the day.  If you are not purposeful in your rest, if you are relaxing but thinking about how you should be doing something else, then you are not allowing your strongest moments to ever peak.  You are wearing yourself down as you are working 24/7 without really being as effective as you could be.  So let go of the guilt, and be purposeful in your rest.  Work hard, and rest hard.

How I respond determines how great my life is.

Sometimes it can seem like life doesn’t want to give us a break.  A great life isn’t from the great things that happen to us.  A great life is how we respond to the things that happen to us.  We as humans will have different gifts, talents, and experiences but we all possess an equal power within, no matter who you are.  We all have the power within to choose.  You can choose to make your life ordinary, or you can choose to create an awesome life by connecting with every moment.  You can choose to see greatness in the good moments and the bad moments.  Your fortunes won’t be given to you, they will be in you, as you begin to see that you already possess the unlimited possibilities of the universe in your hands.  Choose to see more today.

I am a great leader and friend because I help others see the best in themselves.

We all need someone to believe in us.  Did you ever have a coach, a teacher, a friend, or a parent see the best parts in you and ask you to express it more?  It felt good, didn't it?  And I’m sure you found more ways to want to become better because someone saw more in you.  It's easy to tell people what to do, but great leaders don't just tell they help others see the better parts of themselves.  Great leaders choose to see the strengths in others and they find ways to communicate that to their people.  It felt good when a boss told you that you were doing a great job, that they appreciated what you did, or even when they told you about a certain strength they loved about you.  We get embarrassed sharing our feelings with others, but what if you appreciated out loud to a person in your life about what they are strong in?  It will not only make the other person feel great, but it will make you feel great as well.
