A Twist on the ABC's

When I am having trouble falling asleep I go through what I have named my "Affirmation Alphabet."

I close my eyes and take a few deep breathes and start with A.

I come up with a positive, personal attribute for the letter A, on to B and so forth. If I am really struggling with sleep, I continue with all the words for each letter I can think of.

I have found a few things with the "affirmation alphabet":

I rarely make it through the entire alphabet without falling asleep and my attitude is always positive as I doze off.
Words that I use to define myself are a projection of who I am and who I want to become; I can create my personal mold by starting with how I think and speak about myself.
It is a great mental challange to end the day.

Happy summer! Have fun creating your list of positive attributes!
