A Positive Spin for 2012!
by Laura Penn Gallerstein Affirmations are so powerful! Teachers and masters throughout the ages have taught about the power of the spoken word. The spoken word carries a tremendous energy and vibration. If we choose to better our lives, than it is important we speak words of love, kindness and compassion. This helps to limit the negativity around us.
Most of us are aware that the media focuses on what is wrong with the world. This does not make them wrong since they have a job to report news. However, we can choose to limit our exposure to negative programs and other forms of media.
Here are some suggestions for the New Year:
- Watch positive and inspirational tv.
- Talk and think about people in a positive manner. Looking for the best in people brings out the best in people.
- Find uplifting articles to read that inspire you and fuel your imagination.
- Start a new exercise program. Find something that you love doing. Keep in mind that it takes 30 days to start a new habit. After 30 days you will feel like your new habit is a natural part of your life. (Hint: find a great pilates or yoga class!)
- Eat more fruits and vegetables. Make a green drink with all your favorite greens and fruits (very nurturing).
- Write down affirmations and place them where you can see them everyday. They will help reprogram your subconscious to bring these truths into reality. An example is “I am healthy and abundant in my life now.”
- Try meditation. Meditation connects you with yourself and the bigger picture. Practice focusing on your breathing. Your mind chatter will settle down and you will feel calmer.
- Write down goals for the New Year and place them somewhere for you to view on a daily basis.
- Write down your accomplishments from 2011. This will help you to honor yourself and acknowledge your life for the year.
- Write down what you would like to let go of from 2011 and the past. Once it is completed you can burn it in a safe manner and release to the universe forever.
With love and light,
