Because my life is filled with calm and joy, I am not afraid of the future. I let go of things I cannot control and enjoy this moment that I am in.

I let stress and negativity flow through me unimpeded and choose instead to feed positive thoughts, knowing that what I nurture will grow and expand in me, squeezing out those thoughts that I choose to neglect.

Peace is my natural state of being. Over time I have learned to respond with fear and tension, but I know that I was not created to be this way. As I practice allowing peace into my mind, I am making it easier and easier for myself to return to my natural state of childlike confidence in my Provider and in the strength with which He has equipped me.

I know that my new state of peacefulness is leading me toward greater health and creativity. I look forward to the future.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How do I respond when negative thoughts pop up in my mind?
2. What evidence do I see in my life of an increasing trend toward peaceful living?
3. How has my life improved since I decided to foster peace in my life?
