Staying Centered: How Healthy Reminders Keep Good Vibes Flowing Daily

If you’re looking to create a more positive mindset, there’s a practice in the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale that I love and use on the regular. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes each day.


The Process

  1. Write down some healthy reminders on index cards
  2. Flip through them everyday until you memorize them
  3. Repeat your healthy reminders daily

This practice helps to create a more positive mindset for ourselves.

Like a farmer, we must sow good seeds or weeds will start to grow.


Staying Centered

When I’m happy, healthy reminders keep the good vibes flowing.

And when I’m upset, healthy reminders help clear things up.

Up or down, healthy reminders work to keep us centered.

Repeating our healthy reminders daily is the key to lasting results.


Below are some of my favorite reminders that keep my mind feeling happy, healthy, and fit:


Healthy Reminder Examples

Keep on stepping

You are loved

Be unafraid

Yes you can

You can do all things

Be free

Hang loose

Believe

You matter

You are brave

Relax and release

You are beautiful

Any sayings come to mind that make you feel happy, safe, strong, empowered?


Faith-Based Reminders

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

According to your faith be it unto you

If ye have faith nothing shall be impossible unto you

Be ye transformed by the renewal of the mind

If god be for me, who can be against me

Faith power works wonders

I believe God gives me power to attain whatever I really want

I expect the best and with God’s help will attain the best

Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel

Be unafraid of what you do not know
Give me Thy healing peace in my nervous system as well as in my soul

May the love of Christ fill my soul; may the love of Christ for __ fill my soul

The Lord is the strength in my life… in this I will be confident

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength

The Power of Smiling: Embracing Change and Opportunity

Someone asks you to do something you don’t want to do, answer with a smile.

Someone interrupts your work with a question, answer with a smile.

Someone suggests a new idea, answer with a smile.

A smile goes a long way – it shows the other person they can come to you without you freaking out, that you’re easy to work with, that you’re strong and resilient in the face of change.

A simple curl up of the lip can help you get into a more positive state of mind when something comes up that you weren’t expecting.

Change and opportunity will present themselves to you today, and when they do answer with a smile.

Open your heart to the world, take what you are given, I promise it’s really not as bad as you think it to be. It’s all working in your favor.

Stay blessed family.

Healthy Habits

Say Less, Listen More

“The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.” -Robert Greene

We’ve heard before that the inexperienced and fearful talk to reassure themselves.

Ever say something and instantly regret it? It probably added no value to the conversation and/or just made ya feel silly for saying anything at all.

During conversations, most people are going to vent out their feelings or thoughts to you. And most times, they are not asking for advice or your opinion.

“Do you just need to vent or are you looking for some advice?”

The ability to listen, to deliberately keep out of a convo is rare because it’s hard. Yet it’s through silence that we build strength and self-sufficiency.

In order to listen more and talk less…

We give others the space and time to express themselves.

We are 100% present with the person in front of us.

We work to understand what the other is communicating.

We listen without labeling right or wrong.

We only provide insight or advice if asked.

We say less and listen more.

“Silence is a lesson learned from the many sufferings in life” -Seneca
