20 Daily Morning Affirmations of Zen Thinking

by Brian Thompson

i am healthy, wealthy, happy and wise.

i am mindful, centered, peaceful, patient and calm.

i am loved, l am loving — i am gracious, i am giving.

i will have no expectations and will make no assumptions.

i am a magnet of opportunity and will prosper doing only what i love.

i will seek beauty everywhere i go, within everyone and everything i see.

i am worthy of the abundance of life's blessings and am grateful for each and every one.

i will not let my well-being be attached to any outcome, i will not let my happiness be attached to any stuff.

i am remarkable and will exceed every expectation, for my greatest passions will bring my greatest rewards.

i am not perfect and will make many mistakes, but i will always forgive myself as long as i continue to learn.

i will be mindful at all times and will live only within each moment i have — i will be here, now.

i will drop all opposing thoughts of anger, fear, desire, restlessness, anxiety and worry.

i will be forever curious and will find wonder within everything.

i will strive for compassion in every moment of every day.

i shall always endeavor to gently walk the middle way.

i will not let my thinking betray my greater good.

i will silence my mind and listen intently.

i will help others however i can.

i will forever follow my bliss.

i will dwell only in peace.

Presence is a rare quality in a world of 20-second sound bites, nonstop stimulation, and gnawing anxiety. What underlies presence? Clearly, it is not intellectual prowess or Mensa would rule the world. More than once we all have been bored to tears by the intellectual aloofness of someone disconnected from everyday reality, adrift in a conceptual universe of his or her own creation…Could presence be heart-generated coherence in the world of personal magnetics? People with presence have an ineffable quality about them; they are “present,” surprisingly attentive, and undistracted. A fullness, a centeredness, a wholeness radiates from them. We enjoy being “in their presence.” You can build presence. It is the natural radiance of heart security
