got these from belief net. they cover a gammut...
feel free to add i think i should start doing these...
Life is a curving and fluid journey. Because I am always moving through learning stages, I cannot look back or measure. I learn through my relationships because that is how I begin to define who I am. Nothing is unforgivable in life. I know nursing this hurt is holding me back from fully being with others; therefore I choose to thank the universe for giving me another opportunity to develop my soul by knowing another person. I move easily through this experience.
Today I take all my unhappy memories out of my body and place them in a basket. My pain, my anger, and my resentments are placed in this basket. I have an angel that takes this basket of unhappiness from my hands and flies to the outer reaches of the universe and transforms it into loving energy that will revisit me later today. I forgive those around me and ask for divine assistance to hold me in a state of continual forgiveness.
Spring is guaranteed to come. I can bloom no matter what the weather, because I am growing spiritually each day. Today I take time to notice how I have bloomed so beautifully despite my circumstances. I am capable of reaching for the sun and sky because that is my natural state. I am reaching upward every day and do so joyfully, knowing I am grounded in the life cycle of spiritual development.
I forgive because I am capable of expressing compassion. By forgiving, I release this situation from my energy field and feel clear-headed and full-hearted. I forgive because I am able to rise to my higher self and feel lighter. My light knows no boundaries when I forgive. Life feels lighter when I forgive.
I choose to be a spectator, not a participant, in a negative energy generation. I facilitate healing by taking time to ask for divine assistance for this family's difficulties. I visualize these family members embracing one another for their diversity and know that each one helps another on their soul journey. Every loving and positive word I speak about my family helps to generate more healing.
Today I change my focus by championing a new cause. I am the ambassador of positive thinking. I spread health, wealth, love, and happiness wherever I go. I love watching how my positive statements dissolve negativity in others. I am my own instrument of renewal of positive energy, and my positive outlook is stored deep within me. Every positive statement I make is rewarded.
I keep experiencing the same events in my life because I have not learned a lesson at the deep level of the soul. I am committed to changing my behavior, attitude, and negative belief systems. I learn from past mistakes. Life is a self-educational process and I am a perceptive individual. I watch others as they model what I need to learn. I love all my talents as well as my imperfections because that is what makes me the beloved person I am.
I am a spark of the Divine; therefore I am of the same soul substance as everyone else. From this day forward, I recognize my gifts of both male and female energy and reclaim a balanced image of my infinite power. Those who do not believe in me are denying part of their own divine nature; therefore they have no power over me. I am supported by Mother God!

There is no written law that says because once I believed something I have to continue to believe it forever
There are literally billions of thoughts I can choose to think.

Every positive action/constructive action I take in the direction of my dreams and goals will reinforce my belief in myself and in my ability to accomplish my ideals.
In order to enjoy high levels of self-confidence, I have to organize my life in such a way that I feel in control of what happens to me.
The more often I dare to go forward, even in the face of uncertainty, the more likely it is that this type of courageous behavior will become a habit for you.
I am free to choose. Everything I am and everything I become is under my own control.
Put your whole heart and soul into your success. Don't hold anything back and don't let anyone stop or discourage you.
I continually think in terms of solutions and how I can turn any situation to my best advantage
I will not settle for peace based on outward circumstances or a particular arrangement in my life.

One power we all have is the ability to redefine what we believe. I can learn to see things in a new way.

I am willing to go through any and all obstacles for recovery.
Today I am willing to focus, push forward, and go the distance.
I will begin taking better care of myself than I ever have before.
Punishing, criticizing, repressing, and denying wont bring the feelings, the growth or the results I want.
The harder I push the more relentlessly I demand perfection, the worse I feel.
I will take time throughout each day to tend to my needs just as I would tend to someone I loved dearly.
