Affirmations for Workaholics
The slower I go, the faster I grow.

I have time to spare and time to share. Time is my friend.
When I take time, I make time. I refuse to rush.
My life is full yet under-scheduled.
I am more effective when I am more selective.
Because my overdoing is my undoing, my top priority is my being.
Before I do anything, I first do nothing.
I do everything easily and effortlessly.
I am a human being, not a human doing.
I seek to enjoy rather than endure.
The less I struggle, the more open I am to inspiration.
My Higher Power wants me to realize my vision of joyful work and a balanced life—and gives me whatever I need to achieve it at the right time.
I draw to myself everything I need for a joyful, balanced life.
I am entitled to my right work. I deserve the enjoyment, recognition, and health that it brings.
I live by divine appointment—with broad margins. I receive full assistance and cooperation from all persons necessary for realizing my goals. I attract only loving people.
Doing my right work strengthens all my relationships and brings me closer to those I love.
I am safe when I choose to take risks. I am still in the midst of activity, and I am vibrantly alive in repose. I take emergencies leisurely.
Even when offered something great, I say no if I need rest. Rest is the best thing I can give myself.
My body is my friend and my temple.
I bless and thank it daily, obeying its signals.
Emotions are information. I honor their important messages.
I love myself no matter what. I am perfect just the way I am.
I am enough. I have enough. I do enough.
I do not try to grow. I accept myself as I am, and I grow automatically.
People bring me important messages when I listen mindfully.
My highs come from my Higher Power.
I work to live rather than live to work.
There is no place I have to go and nothing I have to do.
I cannot help anyone if I cannot help myself. I expect and welcome surprises.
