What if I empowered myself by repeating ‘I am strong, confident, and resilient’ each time I rose from sitting for a week? I’m sure you’d discover that you are strong, confident and resilient. When we continuously repeat an affirming mantra we are retraining our minds to automatically switch into a new thinking mode. It is a thinking mode that empowers us. It is a thinking mode that slams the door on doubts and naysayers. Try it for a week. It can’t hurt and it might make all the difference in your life.

Today’s Power Thought ~ It Takes Continuous Effort
I like going to the gym. I like the feel of sweat and tired muscles after a workout. I know if I stop exercising my muscles will begin to atrophy. It’s the same way with our minds. If we stop using them, our minds lose their capacity to problem solve, engage in meaningful dialogues, or seek creative outlets. Everything worthwhile takes continuous effort. It all starts with a first step and followed by another step.
Something to Think About
When I walk through my neighborhood I notice that some folks have no room in the garages to park their car. Their garages are packed with stuff. There is a deep sense of clutter. I’m sure they have a mental organization set that allows them to find any small item amidst the chaos. It’s the same way with our closets. We collect clothes that we never wear. The clothes hang in our closet unused, collecting dust. It’s the same way with our minds. We collect useless information and let it clutter our minds. Is it time to toss away the stuff that clutters the garage, attic, or spare room? You’ll feel better as you clear the stuff that clogs up your garage, attic, spare room, and mind.
A Better Life ~ Heart to Heart
Hearts speak with a different language that is only understood by another heart. When the heart speaks words are not needed. The other heart knows. For the heart to speak, the mind must quiet down. When the mind quiets down, the heart can hear the message from the heart sending its message.
