I accept my physical limitations. My body went through a beating yesterday at an aerobics class. I can barely walk todya which is fine. I am learning I am no longer 20 and my body is going to react differantly. So I accept my physical limitations knowing that it's ok not to be 20 anymore.

Today that I accept that I'll never be able to gobble down all the sweets I did in the past...in order to be able to lose and finally maintain the weight loss. But that is ok. I am learning and liking new veges. Just discovered butternut squash WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE, it is so tasty and sweet !

Age - I am where I am and who I am as a result of all my past choices. All I have is the current moment. If I wished away some of those years, I'd be missing out on blessings as well. Today I choose to care for myself.

I accept that i have not really put my health before my weight loss therefore keeping me in fluctuation mode. I accept that I don't feel comfortable with myself, but I am working hard TODAY to change that.
Age is only a number!
The best inspiration is to not outdo others, but to outdo yourself.
Today I accept I have limitations. Respecting those will keep me healthy.

I believe in myself, I am a strong woman. I will reach my goals, NOTHING & NOBODY will hold me down. I will live my life with integrity and intention. I will set a good example for my daughters and my son. I will be a woman that makes my grand daughter proud when she looks at pictures of me long after I've left this earth.
Today I accept that I worry to much about the little things that I have no control over. I will try from now out to go with the flow and not worry so much!

I have had children, am not a teenager any longer, and have been heavy most of my adult life, so i accept the fact my body will not spring back to its youth. i accept i will have some body flaws and will be happy just the same being a healthy weight.

Today I accept the fact that all I really want is to rock my curves in a 14. I accept the fact I don't really want to be smaller and that is perfectly ok.
I accept the fact that I am attractive and sexy with who I am at this very moment. I accept the fact that It'll take me some time to lose the last 1.5 sizes.
I accept the fact that my husband adores me and my body and that despite current body trends, I am a bombshell and have a figure that is what real women should have.

I accept the fact I can age gracefully
We tend to associate youth with beauty, but the truth is that beauty transcends every age. Just as a deciduous tree is stunning in all its stages-from its full leafy green in the summer to its naked skeleton during winter and everything in between-human beings are beautiful throughout their life spans.
The early years of our lives tend to be about learning and experiencing as much as we possibly can. We move through the world like sponges, absorbing the ideas of other people and the world. Like a tree in spring, we are waking up to the world. In this youthful phase of life, our physical strength, youth, and beauty help open doors and attract attention. Gradually, we begin to use the information we have gathered to form ideas and opinions of our own. As we cultivate our philosophy about life, our beauty becomes as much about what we are saying, doing, and creating as it is about our appearance. Like a tree in summer, we become full, expressive, beautiful, and productive.
When the time comes for us to let go of the creations of our middle lives, we are like a tree in autumn dropping leaves, as we release our past attachments and preparing for a new phase of growth. The children move on, and careers shift or end. The lines on our faces, the stretch marks, and the grey hairs are beautiful testaments to the fullness of our experience. In the winter of our lives, we become stripped down to our essence like a tree. We may become more radiant than ever at this stage, because our inner light shines brighter through our eyes as time passes. Beauty at this age comes from the very core of our being-our essence. This essence is a reminder that there is nothing to fear in growing older and that there is a kind of beauty that comes only after one has spent many years on earth.
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is past , tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Sending Yourself Sunshine Good Thoughts For The Day When things go wrong, it is easy to get into a bad mood, and that bad mood has a way of spiraling out and affecting our life for days to come. In the same way, when we feel badly about ourselves, we tend to act in ways that have repercussions, again creating a negative vibe that can negatively influence the next several days. While it is important that we allow ourselves to feel what we feel, and to be genuine, we do not have to completely surrender to a dark mood or feelings of self-doubt. In fact, the more we simply allow and accept our darkness as one part of the picture, the more easily we can also allow and accept our light. In this vein, we can temper our grey moods with an injection of sunshine in the form of sending good wishes to ourselves for the next 24 hours.
If you feel a bad mood coming on or find yourself plagued with negative feelings, take a moment to acknowledge that. At the same time, recognize that things can and will change, and that you can still have a good day, or a good week, especially if you take the time to visualize that for yourself. This is a great way to support yourself when you are working through tough times and hard feelings. When you visualize good things for yourself, you are sending yourself love and warmth, as well as encouraging yourself to keep going.
Before you even get out of bed in the morning, you can take the time to send good wishes to yourself all the way through to the next morning. As you picture your day, take the time to fill in the detailswhere you are going, who you will see, what you will doand send love and good wishes ahead to yourself, as well as everyone you encounter. It will be like arriving in a new place and finding that an old friend has sent a bouquet of flowers from back home to welcome you and remind you that you are loved.
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is past , tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
