2.  I believe that a Power Greater Than Myself can help me be more positive. I want to believe this because I really need help here.

3.  I make a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of this Power Greater Than Myself. Hey, nothing else has worked. Got any other ideas?

4.  I agree to take full responsibility for my negative thoughts. Even though they seem to have a life of their own.

5.  I admit to the world, my friends, and the Power Greater Than Myself that Negative Thinking serves no useful purpose, and has been the cause of much emotional pain. Well, duh.

6.  I am NOW ready to accept more positive thoughts into my life. I'm sick of worrying about the worst that might happen.

9.  I choose to be aware of my Negative Thoughts and find ways to eliminate or replace them. I now know that my Negative Thoughts are like are like powerful magnets that attract negative stuff in my life.

10.  I choose to be aware of the negative words that come out of my mouth and shift them to positive words when possible.
