Your positive words and thoughts change your perception of life, influence your brain chemistry and impact your well-being in positive ways.  Life's challenges can appear easier and you may feel more balanced when optimistic about life. As you nourish these thoughts, you positively impact your energy.

Daily affirmations are important in creating a positive outlook in life.  They help create a new script to replace the negative self-tapes that play in your mind. 

Words have power.  Your subconscious mind listens to the thought you think. Train your brain to think positive thoughts by repeating affirmations frequently throughout the day.  List your strengths, the positive attributes you wish to cultivate and your future potentials.  Turn these into your affirmations.  Even if you are afraid to believe these statements, keep repeating them daily and notice what happens.

Grab your journal, turn off your phone, find a quiet place without interruptions and set a timer for 20 or 30 minutes. This is time you are investing in yourself. You are worth it.

Take a moment right now to make a list of all the areas in your body, mind and spirit that feel out of balance.  What would you like to be different in 2016? What themes emerge as you look over this list? If you could choose one word for 2016 to guide your overall choices, what would that word be?

Keep adding to this list over the next week. On Day 1 of the Be Well Series, we will be setting some intentions and goals for the coming year.

May you Be Well!
