15 Things To Tell Yourself Today To Live Better

Written by Sebastian Eguez

Calling yourself an unworthy idiot might be high up there as one of the worst things you can do if you want to improve your life. But admit it, we sometimes say things like that to ourselves. Your mind is truly listening to everything you say. Do you want to improve your daily life? Here’s a list of things to tell yourself today!

1. I Will Fight For What I Want

It is important to be strong, mentally. For instance, if you really want to lose weight, you need to be confident that you can do it. Tell yourself that you deserve more from life. You deserve to be healthy. You deserve to be the sexiest guy or girl in the room. Now, be brave and go get it!

2. I Am Proud Of Who I Am

We all come from different backgrounds, and there’s no shame in who you are. It is important that you walk tall, and embrace your individuality. Did you fail in the past? It doesn’t matter. You now have the opportunity to do things better. Keep your chin held high and let the world see that you’re proud.

3. I Have A Reason To Smile

Not every day is going to go your way. Your car might run out of gas, you might be late for work, or you might be behind on bills. No matter what’s happening, you need to stand back and say to yourself, “I have a reason to smile.” Think of all the good things in your life. Having a positive attitude is the key to turning things around for yourself.

4. I Do The Best I Can

There are situations where you won’t come out on top. For instance, not every athlete will win every competition they’re in. The point is that you are trying your best to be a winner. Focus on that, and you’re sure to live better.

5. I Will Make Time For My Goals Today

More and more people are living with very full schedules – work, kids, sports, spouse – and it often seems like there isn’t enough time to get everything done in one day. However, if you tell yourself in the morning that you will make time to accomplish your goals, you will find that you have more time than you thought.

6. I Am Worth Something

There are days that you might feel worthless, like you’re not doing enough, but most of this is due to a negative attitude. If you wake up every morning and tell yourself that you are worth something to someone, even if it’s your kids, your spouse, or even your parents, you will feel much better. A positive attitude is the foundation for living better.

7. I Will Accomplish Something Today

Similar to making time to accomplish your goals in one day, you need to make sure you accomplish something. For instance, if you haven’t done the laundry in a few days, or you haven’t played a board game with your kids, set that as your goal for today. Take small steps, focusing on one goal each day. Accomplishing something, no matter how small, is better than accomplishing nothing.

8. I Will Make Today Count

Each day it is important to go on living your life to the fullest. You want to go out and do what you can and always strive to be the best person that you can be.

9. I Will Help Someone Today

Being a good Samaritan is a great way to live better, and to feel better about the person you are. Whether you help an elderly person cross the street, or retrieve a kite from a tree for a little kid at the park, you’re helping someone, which in turn helps you.

10. I Will Think Good Thoughts

As I mentioned, positive thinking is the key to being successful and living better. You want to push the negative thoughts out of your mind, and focus on only those that are positive, even when negativity starts to creep in.

11. I Will Enjoy Today

Again, you need to think positively about today, and remember to enjoy the time you have on this earth. Make sure you do at least one ‘just for fun’ activity each day. Having joy in your heart and mind is essential to living better.

12. I Am Strong

Many people think that they can’t accomplish certain goals because they aren’t ‘strong’ enough to do so. It is important that you realize you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, and that you are stronger than you think.

13. I Am In Charge Of My Life

Once you come to the realization that you are in charge of your life, you will begin to live better. It is the choices you make each day that make you who you are. You have control of those choices, so you can definitely choose to be better and to live better.

14. I Believe In The Impossible

You will run into people who think your goals and dreams are impossible. In response simply say, “I believe in the impossible.” This means that you believe your dreams will come true if you just live the right way, work hard, and be determined. Remember, if you believe it, you can achieve it.

15. I Will Not Believe The Naysayers

When trying to live better, it’s important to put some other people out of your mind – the naysayers, that is. People who bring you down, tell you that you aren’t worth it, that you aren’t strong, and that you can’t do anything, are people you should ignore. You want to bring positivity to your life, so do away with the negativity.
