Positive Affirmations

Children are the best teachers! Take a look at four year old Jessica and the power of positive affirmations.

The key to a positive attitude is positive thoughts! Affirmations are self talk; everything you tell yourself is part of your internal dialogue. Making affirmations positive can build self confidence, attitude and outlook on life. Little things like changing how you talk to yourself can have huge impacts!

Here are some positive affirmations you can integrate into your life:

I love myself for who I am.

I am proud of myself for even daring to try.

Today my own well-being is my top priority.

I know that my potential is unlimited.

Today I open my mind to the endless opportunities surrounding me.

Genuine Appreciation

“An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too. On the other hand, hatred, jealousy and fear upset our peace of mind, make us agitated and affect our body adversely. Even our body needs peace of mind and is not suited to agitation. This shows that an appreciation for peace of mind is in our blood.”

-Dalai Lama XIV

Idleness is Not Just a Vacation

“Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration — it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.”

- Tim Kreider, in his New York Times Article: The ‘Busy’ Trap
