Positive Affirmations & Positive Sayings

My mind is my greatest priority, because it is the center of my creativity. By taking the time to clear it, I am opening myself up to new and better ideas.

Ideas rarely come to me full-blown and complete. I nurture them to maturity. The first step in this process involves getting rid of clutter in my mind so that I can recognize good ideas when they appear.

When I take the time to pause and clear my head, I am like a master gardener, tilling the soil to get rid of all that would hamper growth. I am creating an environment where seeds can germinate and flourish. I weed out thoughts that could crowd out my creativity or leech off my energy so that my best and brightest thoughts are allowed the richest ground possible in which to grow.

This is a conscious process. I choose to set aside time to center myself, to sift through my thoughts and to get rid of all that is not conducive to growth and productivity.

I actively choose to make time for self-reflection every day, because I know that this will allow my creative mind to flourish and will lead to greater productivity.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What is the condition of my mental garden?
2. Have I been treating my mind as a priority?
3. What other activity can I condense or set aside to make time to clear my mind?

My body is in intricate system. I wouldn't fuel a sports car with sludge and expect it to win a race! In the same way, I cannot feed my body junk and expect it to serve me well.

Yes, my body likely will continue to run for years, no matter what I put into it, but I am not satisfied with that. It is not enough for me merely to function. I want to live, fully and well.

When I fill my body with junk, I deprive myself of opportunities to eat foods that will lead to greater productivity, better health, and possibly even a longer life.

Relying on processed foods and caffeine for energy is counterproductive. These do give me a boost, but one that is short-lived and must continually be replaced and increased over time.

By filling my body with healthy, natural foods, I maintain a stable blood sugar, which keeps my energy levels up all day long. I require less food and calories in the long run.

I can afford the extra time it may take to obtain and prepare healthy foods because my overall productivity has increased and because I love myself.

I have a time for work and a time for food. When I make that food natural and healthy, it equips and frees me for greater productivity in other areas of my life.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What excuses do I make for not eating healthy food?
2. What do I rely on for energy?
3. What is one change I can make today to move toward a more healthy diet?
