Affirmations for a School Life Balance Requested by Helene from CoachHelene.com and dedicated to her daughter and nursing students everywhere! I reflect on my school-life balance I am thankful for the opportunity to further my education I acknowledge and budget my energy every day Knowing that I have school, work and a family life to attend to I address what’s working for me and what’s not working for me I recognize there are some things I need to stop doing, some things I need to keep doing and some things I need to start doing I create a strategy for getting my readings done in a manner where I can focus and absorb the information I monitor myself for when I need a break because I’m not capturing what I need to learn I create a space to do my homework where I can totally get it done without mental, physical or digital distraction I am aware of the beliefs that prevent me from having a school-life balance I am aware of the school-life management strategies that serve me well And I’m aware of the school-life management strategies that have never worked for me I am all about growing, improving and learning Learning at school, learning in life and learning about my self-management I understand the hang ups that sabotage my success I understand my strengths that have gotten me to where I am today I apply my skills at creating a school-life balance I have confidence in who I am and my ability to stay on track with my studies I have a goal of getting high grades and a strategy for reaching this goal I am intelligent I am diligent I score well on all assignments and assessments I am assigned I prepare myself for the curriculum I am interested in the material I am grateful for this experience I am always looking for effective ways to make my learning stick It’s such a rewarding feeling knowing I am excelling in this program I am mindful of burnout I am mindful of my health I am mindful of how important my studies are but also the things in life that are more important than school I carve time to rest I carve time for my learning to crystallize However I manage to do it, I still make time to play I still give myself an outlet for my stress I still check in and communicate with the relationships that matter I may not be perfect at a school-life balance But I’m getting better day by day, week by week I am continually improving my skills at school-life balance And I’m proud of what I have already achieved in my life I will continue to shine as school helps me reach my goals And I remember that my health is my wealth Self-care will improve my academic performance And that I am a treasured, valued spirit I am grateful to have a healthy school-life balance Affirmations by Josie Ong Want More?  Download the App!
