    About this ebook

    Adjust your attitude with daily affirmations

    Mastering the art of thinking happy: The affirmations, quotes and ideas in this book are a set of tools for you to use in your self-development. They are for “inner work.” And, you know what they say about happiness, that it’s an “inside job,” which is 100% true. These suggestions vary widely from spiritual aspirations to very simple, straight forward and practical ideas. Much has to do with adjusting your attitude. Depending on the day, it might be a slight adjustment or a major overhaul but the more you practice daily affirmations, the fewer adjustments you’ll need. One day, you will realize you have mastered the art of “thinking happy” and are looking at the bright side of life, every day. Incorporating this as a daily practice will build “mental muscle” and help you achieve the all-important optimistic way of thinking.

    Becoming a better you: I very much like the idea of idea of undertaking the inner work of self-development and working your way to a better you. I am also a strong advocate for believing in yourself and loving yourself more each and every day. These are habits that can easily be reinforced by practices such as journaling, creating your own affirmations and talking to yourself in the positive.

    Build your inner optimism: Like an engine driving you toward greater things, self belief brings you closer to your life’s purpose, your personal mission and will absolutely make you a happier camper. Daily affirmations help build the optimistic mindset. So, try it. Easy as pie and just as sweet.

      About the Author

      Foreword

      Wisdom, Thy Name Is Woman

      The volume you hold in your hands is a wonderful compilation of quips and quotes by inspiring women. They are mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmas, girlfriends, neighbors, classmates, and coworkers.

      Some are famous—others not. But they all have uttered words that can teach, console, lift us up out of our doldrums, and share wisdom for our journey through life, and this is a book to turn to again and again for advice, support, encouragement, empathy, and understanding.

      As you’ll see, wisdom isn’t limited to those of fame and fortune. Some of the wisest words I’ve ever heard came from the lips of ordinary women of extraordinary insight, like Suzanne Schultz, a researcher at the University of Delaware, who once said, The greatest gift you can give someone is the gift of the interested listener. Or my dear friend Karen, who likes to say, Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from what you can do. My female friends and colleagues may come and go, but their wise words stay with me forever.

      That’s not to say that famous women aren’t great sources of inspiration, too, because they are. For sure. And this book offers you the gift of their words as well.

      Becca Anderson’s collection, Plan Be, is a veritable treasure chest of pearls of wisdom and wit from women. Words to live by—words to love by—words to laugh by. Words of wisdom from women who fan the flame of hope that each of us can design the kind of life we want to live—we don’t have to buy into anyone else’s definition of success, happiness, or fulfillment.

      These are pearls of great worth. Try them on—see how they feel—choose the pearls that best suit you and the kind of life you aspire to. Keep them close to your heart. Every woman needs a good string of pearls…pearls of wisdom, that is.

      Introduction

      Plan Be!

      Secrets of Highly Successful Women

      Women inspire me. It’s as simple as that. All I have to do is look around. There are the women who run the restaurant on the corner—the place where everybody feels comfortable and taken care of. There are mothers pushing strollers, and mothers crunching numbers. There are women healing the sick. Gals cracking us up. Ladies penning the novels and singing the songs that change our lives. Chicks fixing the plumbing. Girls setting world records. Politicians challenging the status quo from within the system, and activists battering it from the outside. There are women at the pinnacle of their fields in every corner of the world, and women finding satisfaction in their own successes, small and large. What’s their secret? (Well, I’ll give you a hint…there’s more than one.)

      What kind of success are you working toward?

      Maybe you don’t know yet—or thought you did but aren’t sure. Or maybe you’re on the right track but need a kick in the pants.

      In our own lives, success can feel elusive. We can get bogged down comparing ourselves to others or whining about what we lack. The women in this book have secrets to share, to shout to the rafters even. Their wise words will push your buttons, open your eyes, and rev up your engine.

      This book is a reminder that you have what it takes to make it to the top. And the best part is, you get to decide where the top is, and you get to chart the path to reach it. This book is here for you—it’s full of quotes and thoughts from hundreds of women to encourage, motivate, and support you as you make your way. Famous and infamous, wise and wisecracking, haughty and humble. Some are names you will know well, others are everyday gals like you and me with something important to add.

      I read somewhere that we’re all descended from three ancestral mothers. How amazing is that? A woman brought each and every one of us into this world, and when we look in the mirror, we can see traces of our mothers, grandmothers, even great-grandmothers. And their gifts go way beyond skin-deep. Every woman in the world is a member of this family—and you can call on their words and their life stories to inspire you at every turn. So keep this book close to you as you get organized, vamp up your personal style, and figure out how to work smarter. Sit back and let this book help you remember the importance of relaxing and indulging yourself (with girlfriends whenever possible). And don’t ever forget to go after your dreams with every ounce of yourself, because after all—women can do anything!

      The Art of Self-Affirmation

      If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and drained by the busyness of life with its many demands, you need to stop in your tracks and do an attitude adjustment, or more specifically, a gratitude adjustment. Whenever you have gotten to this point, you have need of some me TLC and a dose of radical self-care. Chances are, your very wonderfulness may have led you to give and give and give and give. Now, you need to give and give and give to yourself. You need to soak up the glory of your very being and remember that you are an amazing, awesome person and deserving of all good things!
