31 Affirmations To Take Your Life Back

If there is something or someone that continues to exert power over your life – power that overwhelms your best intentions, sabotages your greatest efforts, and frustrates your deepest desires, then no formula, set of keys or steps will help you until you are able to take your life back. True freedom comes when you gain the strength to no longer live in reaction to the negative power and destructive control that keeps you from living the life you were meant to live.

You can learn to take charge of your past, and your current circumstances so you can look forward with confidence and faith to the road ahead.
