Believing In Yourself
Try this Journal Entry. If you can improve all the critical areas of your life and find a harmony and balance in your life, you will feel good about yourself and become a believer in your abilities to create and achieve the desires of your heart.

1. We all have different areas of our being that we develop and explore as we live. These areas consists of our mental well being, our physical health, our emotional maturity, our spiritual belief and growth, and our relationships with others and our social support. List these areas in your journal. Under each of these five headings, list the good news about these areas. Don't limit yourself. List all that you can think of. Check out my examples if you get stumped.

My Example: Under these areas of my life, I currently possess or practice these good attitudes, characteristics or behaviors.

My Physical Health
I walk at least three times a week.
I take vitamins every day.

My Emotional Maturity
I control my anger when driving.
I think before I respond.

My Relationships and Social Support
I have several close friends that I can count on.
I schedule something enjoyable every week.

This is the good news. Pat yourself on the back, if you can reach that far back, and congratulate yourself on these areas in your life that you have confidence in.

2. Are there attitudes, characteristics, or behaviors under these five areas of our life that you could improve? Do you possess or practice some things that do not create what you desire? Check our my list of places I could improve.

My Spiritual Belief and Growth

I don’t listen to uplifting music or read uplifting books that promote my spiritual growth.
I don’t have a time when I meditate or reflect on spiritual truths.

My Mental Well being
I don’t spend time alone in order to have a sense of peace in my life.
I’m not always optimistic about my future.

What do you desire? More spirituality? Better mental health? What would help you achieve this?
When you are in balance with your basic nature and needs such as a healthy body and mind, positive basic beliefs about life and yourself, or a strong network of family and friends that consists of positive, supportive relationships, you can create the life you were meant to live. If you do not have strong mental health or inner spirituality, you may not live up to your potential or have the strength to reach that dream life you desire.

3. What can you do? Review the good news. You have a pretty good bank account of positives in these areas of your life. But re-read the places where you could use some improvement. What could you do specifically to grow in these areas? Write about one item you listed that you would like to improve in each of the five areas and come up with ways that you could strengthen these areas to achieve the perfect balance in your life that you were meant to have.

Would you share what you have learned from this journal with me? And would you commit to changes and growing in all areas of your life? Let me know. I want to share in the new you that you are creating and the effect this has on all areas of your life, your job, your money, or your marriage.
