After a month of experimentation, I am seeing progress in every area to which I apply the affirmations. It's not always in a straight line because different things are more in my focus at different times. However, I have seen improvement in these areas:
- Productivity/Stamina
- Posture
- Tidiness
- Happiness/Smiling
- Peacefulness
- Fun
Additionally, I found a job that should be perfect. It's in the field I am trying to break into (PHP web application development), it's part time telecommute, and the office is nearby. I start tomorrow.
I am having a hard time breaking some annoying habits, especially biting my nails and picking my nose.

I have been working with affirmations on "I am not well-groomed" "I am not poised" and "I am not hygienic", but I am not getting the desired effect (well, I did get a haircut yesterday after almost a year of not). I have a feeling that these affirmations are not quite on-target. Any suggestions for better phrasing? While writing this "I am not always aware of my hands" and "I am not always in control of my hands" come to mind.
