Postive Thinking for Teens by Kate Hurley
Self Kindness Script
May my day be filled with kindness
May I be calm, healthy, and happy.
May I feel safe, secure, and free from worry.
May I be gentle with my thoughts today.
True Happiness
True happiness occurs when you decide to accept yourself for who you are, be yourself around everyone that you meet, and follow your dreams, no matter what anyone else around you is doing.
