Finding Beauty Within
An Affirmation for the Soul
Today, I affirm that I will look for beauty in all things, small and large.
In our brief journey together, let us sit back, enjoy the scenery, relax into the music, and let go.
Just Relax, Breath, find the rhythm of your breath and know there is true beauty within.
Now repeat after me.
I am grateful for the beauty that surrounds me. I see significance in the small things, a drop of rain, a smile from a stranger, a blade of grass. I also see majesty in the sky, the sun, the moon, and the universe, those massive things that truly allow us to reflect upon our significance. Everything has its unique guiding light, and I am grateful to be able to witness it.
As we wind down this journey together, reflect on one small thing you would like to shift for the week. What calls upon you to nurture to create your inner significance?
The Psychology
Beauty is the result of all things we tell ourselves. As the old saying goes, it is in the eye of the beholder. As a practicing psychotherapist, I see the need to establish one’s self-esteem as a pivotal part for any personal development to take place.
What can you be grateful for?
Find one element of personal significance that calls upon your soul as a means for inner work and development.
- Write down times your self-esteem or self talk got into the way of you realizing your dreams.
- Determine what traits need changing.
- Determine a course of action to move forward.
- Anticipate what might get into the way.
- Create fail-safes to increase your chance for success.
We tend to get in the way of our inner wellbeing. As life unfolds, we can develop negative attitudes towards the very things that create the road to our inner success. By using positive statements for psychological growth, we not only create avenues for a positive psychology, we also create inroads to personal potential.
As always, namaste, my friends. May purpose find you on your journey to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Dr. Thomas Maples
As a practicing psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I have helped individuals with numerous life problems develop new perspectives on how to deal with their emotional problems. Psychological symptoms are not a sign of weakness, or even an illness; instead, they are roads into the soul of the problem that masks the inner strengths may have simply lost site of. Having treated everything from mood disorders to personality disorders, I have seen the soul behind the problem and have helped people develop new perspectives to their symptoms as being areas of strength rather than illness.
How can affirmations and gratitude help you to realize your ultimate potential? It is my true wish to see the world soul heal as we learn ways to create, chart a course, foster the courage to traverse, and ultimately advance confidently in the direction of our dreams.
