Affirm-mantra for this week-Breathe easy

My affirm-mantra for this week is

'I breathe fully and freely'.

I have chosen this from the printable affirmation cards I designed for my squidoo lens-Printable affirmation cards.

I designed 3 sets of 8 affirmations on self esteem,wealth and health.I have given links in the lens to download and print the affirmations at home.

My 3 word quotes affirmation cards which I did for my 100th post was the inspiration for the lens.

This affirmation is to remind me to do my Pranayama regularly.Pranayama(or breathing exercises ) is a great yoga practice which helps us to renew ourselves.It benefits our mind,body and soul.

I plan to use these words

”Breathing in I am calm” “Breathing out I smile”

by Thict Nhat Hanh,an immeasurably gifted mindfulness teacher as my guidance during Pranayama.

This is my quote to share with my sunday citar friends.

A colorful diet to defy aging

A colorful diet is one in which you make sure to have different colors of fruits and vegetables.

Antioxidants, found in abundance in the fruits and vegetables is the secret ingredient that helps you defy aging.

The more colorful your diet,

the more Antioxidants you get.

The more Antioxidants you get,

the healthier you feel.

The healthier you feel,

the younger you look.

This is the topic of the squidoo lens- A colorful diet to defy aging I did today.

You can read more about the health benefits of the 5 different color groups of fruits and vegetables in the lens.

You can also save the mix & match fruits and vegetables chart I have created to make great combinations of healthy salads.

Affirm-mantra for this week- “Inch by inch anything is a cinch”.

My affirm –mantra this week is

“Inch by inch anything is a cinch”.

Any work or project looks big and scary when you see it as a whole but when broken into steps and done one by one it gets done easily.

Yesterday I got an invitation from the giant squid team to join their challenge of doing 50 lens by december31st.I was hesitant as I had only done 10 lens till now and 40 more to do looked daunting. Then giving it a thought over how can I do it I realized I can divide the number by the different topics I can do lens on. This can be further divided by different subjects.

The different topics I plan to do lens are on

1. Arts

2. Health

3. Self-improvement

4. Family

5. Product reviews

So if I do 8 lenses in each category I will achieve my target of 40 lenses.

Now my task is to make a list of 8 interesting news in each topic to research and elaborate on.

Please help me choose interesting subjects to make a lens on by giving your valuable suggestions. I would be happy and thankful to receive any suggestions for helping me on this process.

I hope my affirm-mantra for this week helps me to be motivated to achieve my targets and do the same for you too!

So, let’s repeat ‘Inch by inch anything is a cinch’.

Books-our best friend!

Affirm-mantra for this week-“I will make small changes”

My affirm-mantra for this week is

“I will make small changes”

Small changes add over time. They become the foundation of our successes.

All facets of our life can be improved with small changes.

We can start taking care of our health with a small change in our eating habit.

We can start taking care of our mind by doing quick and small puzzles everyday to keep it active.

We can start taking care of our soul by spending a few minutes in silence every day.

Any task that looks monumental can be broken into smaller building blocks! Every little task counts and is a building block.

A journey of 1000 steps starts with the first step. Only when you take the first step you will be taken a little closer towards your destination.

You sculpt your life with your actions and every action counts, however small it is.

OPINIONS

"So many men,so many opinions"

-Terence

sunday citar-golden sunset

(Golden sunset is a digital painting done by me and

is available as mini artworks ,as postcards at

REFLECTIONS)

GOLDEN SUNSET

How fine has the day been! how bright was the sun, How lovely and joyful the course that he run! Though he rose in a mist when his race he begun, And there followed some droppings of rain: But now the fair traveller’s come to the west, His rays are all gold, and his beauties are best; He paints the skies gay as he sinks to his rest, And foretells a bright rising again. ~ Isaac Watts,

“Every time you wake up and ask yourself, “What good things am I going to do today?”, remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it.” ~ “Indian Proverb”
