embrace the affirmation and allow it to
manifest in your life.
You can repeat this exercise with new
affirmations, focusing on one at a time.
Rewriting your life as
‘Healthy Me’.
Take a few pages and fun colorful pens and
write the following exercise as if you are
writing a movie script named ‘HEALTHY ME”.
In it, describe your life as if you were living
as the healthiest version of yourself. Be very
detailed and think of all aspects of your day
and all areas of your life that will be affected.
For example: Where do you live and how
does your living conditions look like? How do
you feel when you wake up in the morning?
What clothes do you wear? Who are the
people you are interacting with and what
kind of a relationship do you have? What
