      My Own Kind Of Beautiful - Andrea Seydel

      My Own Kind of Beautiful

      One Day at a Time

      January 1

      Help can be a good thing

      "Good people see the good

      and bring out the best

      in other people." 

      Roy T. Bennett

      Today’s message...

      There are always people in your life

      that are considered helpers.

      Even amidst disasters, crisis, and challenges;

      look for the helpers, and find comfort.

      Surround yourself with caring people who are

      positive and will support you during tough days.

      Be open to receiving love and support from others.

      You deserve support and need it at times.

      Ask yourself...

      How can I focus on people who love me and support me?

      Who can I contact that could help me right now?

      Is there someone that I can ask for help?

      January 2

      Self-acceptance and self-love

      "To fall in love with yourself

      is the first secret to happiness." 

      Robert Morley

      Ask yourself...

      How can I be more kind to myself?

      What makes me who I am?

      When was the last time I was proud of myself? Why?

      Affirm...

      I approve of myself.

      I love myself.

      I am unique and beautiful.

      January 3

      Stand tall and confident

      Ask yourself...

      How can I tap into the things that make me special?

      Who can I be kind towards today?

      When have I felt confident and proud?

      Remember...

      Be humble in your confidence,

      yet courageous in your character.

      You have to be yourself,

      and go forward with confidence.

      Believe that you are enough

      and trust in your capabilities.

      Affirm...

      I am worthy.

      I stand tall.

      I am sweet and caring to others.

      January 4

      Be on your own team

      "Work on being in love with the person

      in the mirror who has been through

      so much, but is still standing."

      Unknown

      Today’s message...

      Be confident with who you are.

      Know you are unique, beautiful, and

      the only person on this earth that is like you.

      Notice your talents, your skills,

      and your natural abilities.

      Ask yourself...

      How can I cheer myself on?

      What would my own personal cheerleader say to me?

      What comments do I need to change?

      January 5

      So much is in store for you

      Remember...

      You have a nice full life ahead of you.

      Look for possibilities and opportunities.

      Look for what inspires you and what

      you are passionate or excited about.

      It is up to you to believe that

      great things can come to you.

      Ask yourself...

      What is possible?

      What is the dream?

      What is exciting to me about this?

      Affirm...

      Things are about to get really good.

      I am so excited for all the good things to come to me.

      I keep my chin up.

      January 6

      Let passion lead your way

      "Allow your passion to

      become your purpose,

      and it will one day

      become your profession."

      Gabrielle Bernstein

      Remember...

      You are the creator of your life and your reality:

      what do you want your life to consist of?

      Your imagination is a wonderful tool

      for you to explore your options.

      Simply close your eyes, and let your passion

      and imagination go wild today.

      Ask yourself...

      What makes me excited?

      What would I do no matter what?

      What energizes me?

      January 7

      Be confident in your own skin

      "Confidence is not: ‘They will like me.’

      Confidence is: ‘I’ll be fine if they don’t.’ "

      Christina Grimme

      Today’s message...

      What you think of yourself is

      much more important than

      what other people think of you.

      Have confidence in yourself. 

      Don’t second-guess who you are.

      Who you are is beautiful.

      It is none of your business what other people think of you!

      Exercise your confidence muscle by noticing

      times you were confident and try new

      ways to test your courage.

      Ask yourself...

      When did I last feel confident? Why?

      What makes me feel confident?

      How can I believe in myself more?

      January 8

      Nobody is perfect

      "The past is to prove

      that no one is perfect

      and the future is to prove

      that everyone can change." 

      A. Loan

      Remember...

      You don’t have to like everything about

      yourself to love yourself.

      There will be things that bother you about yourself,

      and things you wish you could change,

      but don’t dwell on these things.

      Instead, put your focus on the good things.

      Always remember:

      there is no such thing as perfection.

      Just focus on what makes you, and others, great.

      Affirm...

      I love myself; flaws and all.

      I choose to focus on my good qualities.

      I focus on my strengths and beauty today.

      January 9

      Soften your heart

      "Be an encourager.

      The world has plenty of critics already."

      Dave Willis

      Today’s message...

      Every single person in your life is facing

      some sort of struggle or challenge

      that you do not know anything about.

      Be available for people, simply because

      you know how it feels to have someone

      there for you when you need it most.

      Respect the situation, and forgive yourself and others.

      Compassionately see everyone’s point of view.

      Ask yourself...

      What might others be going through?

      How can I remain in a place of compassion

      and understanding?

      How can I be caring and understanding?

      January 10

      Love yourself first

      "Self-love is not selfish;

      you cannot truly love another

      until you know how to love yourself."

      Unknown

      Today’s message...

      How can you expect other people to love you

      when you yourself are finding flaws

      and being rude to yourself?

      Be kind to yourself,

      and notice how paying attention to

      your greatness feels much better.

      Stop that voice in your head that is critical.

      Give yourself a little love everyday!

      Remember...

      Pay attention to your thinking and notice

      when that inner critic takes over.

      Hit the pretend delete or cancel button,

      and replace that thought with a better one.

      Stop negative self-talk.

      Talk to yourself like you are

      your own best friend.

      January 11

      Take time to check in

      "Don’t feel sorry for yourself if you

      have chosen the wrong road.

      Turn around." 

      Edgar Cayce

      Ask yourself...

      What is most important to me?

      What do I think is best for me?

      What resonates most for me?

      Affirm...

      I honour my inner voice.

      I trust my intuition.

      I listen to my deepest desires today.

      January 12

      Be Positive

      "Keep looking up...

      that’s the secret to life."

      Charlie Brown

      Remember...

      Take time to look around you for great things.

      Appreciate the miracle that life brings.

      You can find evidence to prove anything.

      Look for evidence of positivity in your life.

      The more you look, the more you’ll find!

      It is not ignoring the not so great things,

      but rather choosing to pay more attention

      to the positive things in your life.

      Affirm...

      Today I am going to notice the good things.

      I am excited for new possibilities.

      Good things come to me.

      January 13

      Have some fun and play

      Ask yourself...

      Can I think of a true friend in my life?

      How can I be silly and carefree today?

      How do I make people laugh, smile, and feel love?

      Remember...

      Call on a friend to help you make your life beautiful.

      You deserve love and unconditional support in your life. Friendship is not a maybe kind of thing,

      it’s an opportunity for connections and play.

      Don’t worry about what others think or say about you,

      go have some fun!

      Affirm...

      I have lots of fun and play.

      It’s time to play and connect with a friend.

      I am lovable and playful.

      January 14

      Stay in your own lane

      "Everyone has their own lane, maintain yours...

      there’s less traffic and no speed limit."

      Unknown

      Remember...

      Be proud of who you are,

      and not ashamed of

      how others might see you.

      Happiness is found when

      you stop worrying about what

      others might be thinking of you.

      Just like a horse in a race,

      blinders are put on so that they can

      focus on their own lane and race.

      When you focus on yourself,

      and your own progression forward,

      but still care about others,

      you can do great things!

      Affirm...

      My race, my pace.

      It feels better to focus on myself.

      I am proud of who I am today.

      January 15

      Remember who you are

      "She remembered who she was

      and the game changed." 

      Lalah Deliah

      Remember...

      Take inventory of how far you have come.

      Think back to when you were a little child:

      what were your dreams?

      Look at your life in review.

      Notice the special times you have had,

      and challenges you have over come,

      that stand out for you.

      What has been a consistent part of your life?

      Ask yourself...

      How would I describe myself?

      Is there a part of me I have forgotten about?

      How do I want to show up in my life?

      January 16

      Gain clarity

      "Love yourself.

      Be clear on how you want

      to be treated and what you desire.

      Know your worth.

      Always."

      Unknown

      Today’s message...

      The more clear you are on what you desire

      and how you want to show up in this world,

      the easier it is to balance your life.

      Often times we focus on what we don’t want

      and dwell on all the things we don’t like.

      Think about what you desire most for yourself

      and get very clear on that vision.

      The clarity that comes with knowing

      what you do want will really help you.

      Ask yourself...

      What is the part of my life that is not yet clear?

      What do I want?

      What would be the best outcome?

      January 17

      Be Kind to yourself

      "Never say anything about yourself

      you wouldn’t want to come true."

      Brian Tracy

      Today’s message...

      Talk to yourself in the way you would

      speak to someone you love.

      The words we say to ourselves have power

      and they affect us tremendously.

      Be aware of any negative or mean things

      that you might say to yourself.

      What we give our attention to has

      a tendency to show up more in our lives.

      In psychology it’s called

      the attention bias, or confirmation bias.

      Knowing this, pay close attention to

      where your thoughts rest.

      Ask yourself...

      Am I hard on myself?

      What are better thought options for me?

      How can I be kinder to myself today?

      January 18

      Appreciate your life

      "Never let the things you want

      make you forget the things you have."

      Sanchita Pandey

      Today’s message...

      Take notice of all the good things in your life.

      Notice and appreciate all the wonderful

      little and big things in your life.

      Having an attitude of gratitude

      becomes a daily practice.

      When we are grateful,

      our world seems much better.

      You can unwrap each day like

      a precious gift you have received.

      Express gratitude for all things in your life.

      Ask yourself...

      Can I take a moment every day to deliberately

      notice at least one beautiful thing in my life?

      What am I grateful for in my life today?

      How can I choose to have a growth mindset

      and a grateful attitude about my life?

      January 19

      Take ownership of your life

      "At any given moment

      you have the power to say:

      this is not how the story is going to end."

      Christine Mason Miller
