My Mind Rules

This great quote by Hippocrates showing that our Mind Rules is my Quote to share with my Sunday Citar friends this week.

Men ought to know that from the brain,and from the brain only,arise our pleasures,joys,laughter and jests,as well as our sorrows,pains,grief and tears...

-Hippocrates.

Our pleasures,

Our joys,

Our laughter

Our jests,

Our sorrows,

Our pains,

Our grief,

Our tears.

Everything is in our mind!

When we control our mind we control.....

Our actions,

Our reactions,

Our emotions,

Our results,

and

Our success.

Our Mind Rules!

My Mind Rules is a wonderful quote to remember and you can use a magnet or a mousepad from REFLECTIONS to remind and motivate you to success .

wednesday wish-Yes,I did It !

Jamie asks us this week -What do you wish to acknowledge yourself for?

Jamie's questions each week make you really think .

This week she made me think of my transformation.

I am basically a shy person who thinks twice before expressing my views .

I was not confident of my artworks as I had passed my finearts graduation years (25)ago!

I started my blog MOTIVART last october to experiment my digital skills by taking part in art challenges online .

I started AFFIRMART in february to give voice to my thoughts and affirmations and have found a wonderful group of encouraging blog friends over here.

The ease of blogging helped me create EXPRESSIVE-IMPRESSIVE to record my digital paintings andREFLECTIONS-TODAYSDESIGNS to show my designs that I create for REFLECTIONS,my zazzle store.

Earlier the net was just for browsing news,recipes,self development articles and blogs but now I am part of the blogging group and enjoying every moment of it.

So,I wish to acknowledge myself for my growth from a shy person to one who is ready to explore new avenues to show my creativity.

I came across an interesting blog ABC Wednesday where we have to share a photograph, piece of art or poetry with the word for that week. I am doing a similar series with the alphabet Power Words and am going to finish it this week with the letters Y and Z.So,this project in the same lines is interesting.I am joining in late but hope to continue in the coming weeks.

F for Flowers

Flowers is what comes to my mind immediately for the letter F.

Flowers express love

Flowers express happiness,

Flowers express joy,

Flowers express hope,

Flowers express faith,

Flowers express gratitude.

Flowers with their wonderful colors makes people use them as gestures and symbols for communicating with their loved ones.

Whenever there is a special event, to express sympathy, to show how much love you have for someone, or simply by just telling that you are there; Flowers represent all these acts and emotions well .

Flowers say it best when it comes to thanking your loved ones for their thoughtfulness .

Floral thank you cards help to convey your message.

I had designed these cards for my zazzle store REFLECTIONS and I am happy to share them with you all.

"Seize The Day"

This is my affirm-mantra for this week.

I have been away from this blog for a week attending to personal work offline.

I am still out of town and am not able to design artworks.

I was upset that I may not be able to post this week's affirm-mantra when my magnet design @ REFLECTIONS came to my mind.

"Seize The Day"

I could use this as my affirm-mantra for this week.

It is a message filled with value and one to remember always.

I realised the value of time and the importance of this moment.

Only now is the reality and what we do with it charts the course of our day and also indirectly our life.

"Seize The Day"

We can choose to be happy or sad,busy or idle,stressed or calm,pleasant or rude .

Its all in our thoughts and actions.

So,lets seize the day!

Today is the best day in my life.

Repeat this everyday to make everyday a special day.

Our daily morning coffee in this cup with the quote should motivate us to seize the day !!!!

and all shall be well,

Wednesday Wish-make room for health

Jamie asks us this week-

What do you wish to make room for?

STEP OUT,WORK OUT,LEAVE STRESS OUT.

This is my wednesday wish.

This week I would love to make room forHealth.Health is very important and the foundation for our well-being.When we are healthy we can face any situation but we often neglect it pushing it down our priority list.Doing yoga,workouts,walks,healthy eating gets postponed due to lack of time.But the truth is when we make room for our fitness regime we have more energy to tackle our work more effectively and enthusiastically.So,this week I am going to

STEP OUT,WORK OUT,LEAVE STRESS OUT.

I found an interesting topic on the zazzle forum about different uses for profile cards.You can use it as inspiration cards,motivation cards,affirmation cards,bookmarks,save the date cards,ATC cards,etc besides as profile cards and busines cards.I found the concept interesting.The format size was also perfect.I immediately tried 2 cards with the quotes I had uploaded earlier.I plan to make cards with more designs and exclusively as Motivart cards.

I would love to hear feedback on this.If such cards will sell and what topics will be popular to create cards on?Thank you in advance.
