a vision for health

Now that you have gained a clear understanding of the basics of writing a vision statement, you can get started with creating your own! I suggest you begin with one area of your life. Choose the one you'd most like to see change in right now, and focus on that for a week or so. Then you can move on to expand your vision statement to different areas of your life.

Below, I will give you an example of a vision statement for health. In future posts, I will offer suggestions for creating vision statements for different areas of your life, i.e. work, relationships, etc. Feel free to use this template to modify and/or expand to suit your own situation and needs! Remember, these are just a few ideas. The different affirmations you can come up with are countless!

Health vision

  • All my symptoms have resolved!
  • I wake up every morning full of energy, vitality and enthusiasm to start my day!
  • My body supports me in all of my activities, and I, conversely, do my part to give my body the care, nourishment, and attention it requires to function optimally.
  • I choose to consume foods and beverages and take nutritional supplements that support my health and well-being and help me feel my best.
  • I generally feel calm and relaxed, while simultaneously feeling energized and enthusiastic.
  • I am able to identify any potential triggers (emotional or physiological) immediately and shift my attitude and/or actions to promote health and wellbeing.
  • My immunity is strong and remains so throughout periods of travel or increased intensity of any kind.
  • I remain healthy even when I am surrounded by other people who are not.
  • (If constipation is an issue) My elimination works like clockwork, and I have daily, complete, regular bowel movements at the beginning of each day. My body knows to let go of that which it doesn't need. As a result, I start every day feeling light and ready to take in the new in any way or form it may present itself to me.
  • (If loose stools and/or urgency are an issue) My body is able to properly assimilate and hold on to the nourishment it needs and let go of that which it doesn't need in an appropriate time and manner. My bowel movements are regular and predictable, and I feel at ease and completely in control in any situation I may find myself in.
  • I am able to properly digest, assimilate and eliminate any nourishment, experiences, and new ideas I take in.
  • I am surrounded by loving people who accompany and support me on my journey through ongoing health and happiness.
  • I attract people into my life who help me be and feel my best!
  • I honor my body’s needs and treat myself with the same love, respect, and care that I reserve for others.
  • Any pain I have been experiencing now completely dissolves.
  • My joints are mobile, and my muscles are strong.
  • I stand tall in this world, supported by my spine, and trusting that I am always supported by the universe.
  • I am flexible and free to move in any direction I choose.
  • I am ready to let go of any old beliefs and patterns that have been contributing to my symptoms and now no longer serve me.
  • I release any and all resentment, anger, fear, sadness, worry, anxiety, frustration, irritability, and/or other emotion that has been causing me pain or discomfort and now no longer serves me.
  • I love and accept myself exactly the way I am.
  • I am healthy, whole, and complete.
  • I now invite health and happiness into my life.
  • My hormones are in balance at all times, and my body knows exactly how much to produce and secrete of any given hormone at any given time to keep my body functioning optimally and keep me feeling at peace and balanced - always.
  • My nervous system functions optimally, responding to external stimuli only when it is in my best interest and doing so in a calm and balanced manner.
  • Stress bounces right off of me, and I maintain a sense of calm even when my surroundings are hectic.
  • My breathing is full, deep, peaceful, and calm.
  • I feel at peace in my body and in this world.

Wishing you health and happiness - always!
