Why a positive outlook is essential...........

Our first rule must be belief in ourselves and what we are doing. Without this we have nothing to build upon. We must be positive.

That is our key..

Once we have found this within ourselves no one can touch us. We are all equipped with the tools required to accomplish anything that we choose. It may be that we choose to continue eating junk food and feeling like we wouldn't want to be us or we could use that energy to finally take control and responsibility for ourselves, reclaiming our power and using our inner wisdom to turn our lives around once and for all.

That's great isn't it? It is easy to say 'be positive' but how do we become positive in a negative environment? Well let's narrow it down a bit, forget the environment (for now that is) and consider yourself for a moment. One way, and you may scoff, is to use affirmations to re-establish your self worth (this is assuming you need a boost and let's face it, most of us do).

Try this one for size, or use your own....

'I deserve ultimate health and vitality and I am achieving this now'.

You can say this out loud to yourself in the mirror as many times as you like or if you feel self conscious you can re-affirm this with your inner voice during quiet times of the day.

We do know that every action we make was once a thought, therefore it stands to reason that what we think manifests in our reality, so why waste this power? This gives us infinite possibilities.

We use the same amount of energy whether we think positively or negatively, so surely it is obvious that by affirming the positive in our lives we can manifest whatever we wish. As I said earlier, every thing we need is within us or can come to us. How often have you heard someone say 'they brought it upon themself!'

So, our first lesson concludes here with the affirmation 'I BELIEVE'. As it happens this is also the key words for all those Aquarians out there! Next time we will talk about food and the effect (apart from the obvious!!) it has on us, nutritionally, emotionally, physically and sexually. Chocolate is, for me, the drug of choice, along, of course with coffee, so what a great place to begin. This also leads me to mention a great foodie buddie of mine who happens to have a great voice too. Check out her 'all things vintage' blog at thesingingcakemaker.blogspot.com. You will love it!
