Notes from Dietta…
A major part of balance is tending to the various parts of who we are:
mind, body and soul. One aspect that I have often neglected has been
the mind. But recently I’ve discovered just how powerful the mind can
be and just how huge a part our mind plays in our success in life and
our balance.
We’ve all heard the old cliché that “an idle mind is the devil’s
workshop,” well an undisciplined mind is an open target as well. We
have to train our minds daily to think straight otherwise, left to
themselves our minds can keep us from tapping into our greatest
potential. This month’s Feature Article teaches one way to tap into the
power of the mind.

Tap the Power of Your Mind:
How to Write Your Own Positive Affirmations
by Susie Michelle Cortright
author, More Energy for Moms
What if progressing toward your most monumental
goals was as simple as acting like you'd already achieved
them?
Experts say it can be that simple.
A single positive statement, repeated throughout
the day, taps the power of your subconscious mind and
energizes your spirit while propelling you toward your goals.
HOW IT WORKS
The subconscious remains, in large part, an
enigma, but we do know that a connection exists between our
self-talk and our achievements.
Research shows that a full 75 percent of our
self-talk is negative.
Think about how your life would change if you
could eliminate your negative self-talk and replace it with more
positive, optimistic language.
Positive affirmations will help you do just that.
The theory is that, even if you don't believe the
positive statements to be true at first, the act of
continually repeating them convinces your subconscious that
they are true.
Your mind then spurs you to realize that goal.
Here's how to write your own affirmations:
STEP ONE:
Ask yourself: What about your life would you most
like to change? Take a sheet of paper and, without
stopping to think about it too hard, make a list of your most
significant life challenges.
STEP TWO:
Narrow down these challenges. The more specific
your affirmation, the more effective it will be.
For example, "I owe a lot of money" becomes "I
owe money to credit card companies."
STEP THREE:
For each specific challenge, brainstorm all of
the possible solutions. Visualize the best possible outcome of your
problem.
STEP FOUR:
State this outcome in a clear, direct sentence.
Focus on specifics. Write your affirmation in the present
tense and in a positive way.
Example: "I will pay off my credit card debt"
becomes "I am debt free."
If you find objections surfacing in the form of
negative self-talk, restate the objection in the form of
another positive affirmation.
Example: Affirmation: "I can pay off my credit
card debt."
Objection: "I can't come up with that kind of
money!" New affirmation: "I find ways to earn all the money I need."
Print your affirmations and place them where
you'll see them throughout the day. Repeat your affirmation
aloud, with confidence, throughout your day.
MORE IDEAS:
* Say your affirmation just before bed, so your
subconscious mind has something to chew on while you sleep.
* Repeat your affirmations in the morning, when
your refreshed mind is most receptive to new thoughts and ideas.
* Record your affirmations into a tape recorder
and listen to them in the car.
* Write your affirmations in your journal, in
first-, second-, and third-person constructions. (For example, "I have
all the money
I need," "You, Yourname, have all the money you
need," Yourname has all the money she needs.")
When you replace your negative energy with
positive energy, you open the floodgates for constructive
thoughts and creativity.
Try it for yourself and witness the powerful and
immediate results.
