You Have A Choice

"Realize that at every moment you have a choice. The choices you make reflect your priorities, so be sure you’re making those choices deliberately."

-- Bill Perkins

The Quantum Model of Reality

"The quantum model of reality tells us that to change our lives, we must fundamentally change the ways we think, act, and feel. We must change our state of being. Because how we think, feel, and behave is, in essence, our personality, it is our personality that creates our personal reality. So to create a new personal reality, a new life, we must create a new personality; we must become someone else.  To change, then, is to “be” greater than our present circumstances, greater than our environment." 

-- Dr. Joe Dispenza

Let It Go When You Are Ready

"Think about who you want to be now. We are not trapped, and the things we endured or experienced don’t have to define us. Just because we were victimized doesn’t mean we have to be a victim now. Just because we failed doesn’t make us a failure now. Just because our hearts are broken doesn’t mean we won’t love or be loved again. It may seem normal to hold on to past pain, but it is also normal to let it go when we are ready."

-- John F. Westfall

Whatever Is Being Fed Into Your Mind

"Remember that the subconscious mind will accept whatever is being fed into it on a constant basis. Be very careful what you routinely think about and what influences you allow to penetrate this most powerful part of your mind. In other words, the subconscious will accept fact or fiction that is consistently passed into it through our conscious thoughts. Therefore, if I were to repeat a series of positive statements, or affirmations, as they are often called, they would be absorbed and accepted."

-- John Paul Carinci

Have a Healthy Body Weight

"Healthy body weight. Avoid obesity. Without being fanatical, maintain a body weight in the normal range, eating in a moderate, healthy way without yo-yo dieting or crazy restrictions you can’t maintain over the long run."

-- Arthur C. Brooks

The Relationship Between Sleep and Mental Health

"The relationship between sleep and mental health works both ways. Prioritizing sleep will help your mental health, and making changes to your day will affect your sleep."

-- Julie Smith

When You Set Your Mind To It

"As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter how unrealistic or far-fetched a dream or ambition may be. I am quite convinced that we all have it in us to achieve nearly everything we set our mind to."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

The Secret Weapon in All Families

"The secret weapon in all families is forgiveness. Almost all unresolved conflict comes down to unresolved resentment, so a practice of forgiving each other explicitly and implicitly is extremely important."

-- Arthur C. Brooks

More Valuable Than Money

"Nothing has a greater effect on your ability to enjoy experiences—at any age—than your health. In fact, health is actually a lot more valuable than money, because no amount of money can ever make up for very poor health—whereas people in good health but with little money can still have many wonderful experiences."

-- Bill Perkins

The Rule of Habits

"It is a well-known rule that habits are formed in about twenty days. You can break a bad habit or form a new good habit in three weeks’ time. So, if you want to stop smoking, that habit can be broken by doing without cigarettes for three weeks.  Easier said than done, I know. But by utilizing positive affirmations, the bad habit can fall by the wayside. Here are a few such statements to try:

“Stop smoking! Stop!”

“Stop ruining your lungs!”

“Stop! I have so much to live for! I’m killing myself!”

“Stop! You can’t do this!”"

-- John Paul Carinci
