11 Benefits of Being Positive Over the years I've done a lot of research on the positive effects of being positive and the negative affects of being negative. The research is clear. It really does pay to be positive and the benefits include enhanced health and longevity, happiness, career advancement, athletic performance, team building and financial success. Being positive is not just a nice way to live. It’s the way to live. In this spirit here are 11 benefits of being positive. 1. Positive People Live Longer - In a study of nuns, those that regularly expressed positive emotions lived on average 10 years longer. (The Nun Study) 2. Positive work environments outperform negative work environments. (Daniel Goleman) 3. Positive, optimistic sales people sell more than pessimistic sales people. (Martin Seligman) 4. Positive leaders are able to make better decisions under pressure. (Heartmath.org) 5. Marriages are much more likely to succeed when the couple experiences a 5 to 1 ratio of positive to negative interactions whereas when the ratio approaches 1 to 1, marriages are more likely to end in divorce. (John Gottman) 6. Positive people who regularly express positive emotions are more resilient when facing stress, challenges and adversity. (Several Studies) 7. Positive people are able to maintain a broader perspective and see the big picture which helps them identify solutions where as negative people maintain a narrower perspective and tend to focus on problems. (Barbara Fredrickson) 8. Positive thoughts and emotions counter the negative effects of stress. For example, you can't be thankful and stressed at the same time. (Several Studies) 9. Positive emotions such as gratitude and appreciation help athletes perform at a higher level. (Heartmath.org) 10. Positive people have more friends which is a key factor of happiness and longevity. (Robert D. Putnam) 11. Positive and popular leaders are more likely to garner the support of others and receive pay raises and promotions and achieve greater success in the workplace.

Are YOU Boxed In?

Years of eating cooked food has trained you to think the way that you do.
Retrain yourself by focusing on the new ways to prepare food....raw and simple!

Alot less time in the kitchen and alot less time focused on the food...
for a lot more time doing other things..

How much time has food occupied your thinking in years past?
Think about how much more LIFE you will have when you let go of all that "food clutter thinking."

Use the seconds, minutes and hours of your day to be more productive in your life....

How much more time can you spend with your family and friends...
How much more work can you get done in a shorter amount of time...
All because you don't think about food all the time....

Two Choices

Amazing things we have been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to have dreams of a better life, and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams.

Think of it: We can look deep within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families; dream of better financial lives and better emotional or physical lives; certainly dream of better spiritual lives. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given the ability to not only dream but to pursue those dreams and not only to pursue them, but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies (setting goals) to achieve those dreams. Powerful! And that is what we will discuss in detail: How to dream dreams and establish goals to get those dreams.

What are your dreams and goals? This isn't what you already have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and thought through your life values and decided what you really want? Have you ever taken the time to truly reflect, to listen quietly to your heart, to see what dreams live within you? Your dreams are there. Everyone has them. They may live right on the surface, or they may be buried deep from years of others telling you they were foolish, but they are there.

So how do we know what our dreams are? This is an interesting process and it relates primarily to the art of listening. This is not listening to others; it is listening to yourself. If we listen to others, we hear their plans and dreams (and many will try to put their plans and dreams on us). If we listen to others, we can never be fulfilled. We will only chase elusive dreams that are not rooted deep within us. No, we must listen to our own hearts.

Let's take a look at some practical steps/thoughts on hearing from our hearts on what our dreams are:

Take time to be quiet. This is something that we don't do enough in this busy world of ours. We rush, rush, rush, and we are constantly listening to noise all around us. The human heart was meant for times of quiet, to peer deep within. It is when we do this that our hearts are set free to soar and take flight on the wings of our own dreams! Schedule some quiet "dream time" this week. No other people. No cell phone. No computer. Just you, a pad, a pen, and your thoughts.

Think about what really thrills you. When you are quiet, think about those things that really get your blood moving. What would you LOVE to do, either for fun or for a living? What would you love to accomplish? What would you try if you were guaranteed to succeed? What big thoughts move your heart into a state of excitement and joy? When you answer these questions you will feel GREAT and you will be in the "dream zone." It is only when we get to this point that we experience what Our dreams are!

Write down all of your dreams as you have them. Don't think of any as too outlandish or foolish – remember, you're dreaming! Let the thoughts fly and take careful record.

Now, prioritize those dreams. Which are most important? Which are most feasible? Which would you love to do the most? Put them in the order in which you will actually try to attain them. Remember, we are always moving toward action, not just dreaming.

Here is the big picture: Life is too short to not pursue your dreams. Someday your life will near its end and all you will be able to do is look backwards. You can reflect with joy or regret. Those who dream, who set goals and act on them to live out their dreams are those who live lives of joy and have a sense of peace when they near the end of their lives. They have finished well, for themselves and for their families.

Remember: These are the dreams and goals that are born out of your heart and mind. These are the goals that are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and gifted to become. Your specific goals are what you want to attain because they are what will make your life joyful and bring your family's life into congruence with what you want it to be.

Speaking The Blessing

JoelOsteen Speaking the Blessing.mp3

Every one of us has people in our life that need our blessing and approval. However, a blessing is not a blessing until it's spoken. When you speak, "I'm proud of you. I love you. You are talented. You mean the world to me" to someone, you're not just being kind, you are speaking the blessing over their life. Your words have creative power; they carry God's supernatural power.

Just like you pull back a bow and shoot an arrow, the moment you speak the blessing, God releases favor, ability, wisdom, confidence, and His goodness in extraordinary ways. One word of encouragement, one word of approval can be what helps others around you really step up to who God created them to be and help shape their destiny.

We need to learn to live blessing minded, not, "How can I get a blessing today?" but, "Where can I speak a blessing?" When you wake up in the morning, tell your spouse, "I love you. I'm glad you're in my life." Before your children leave for school, give them a big hug and tell them, "I'm proud of you. You're going to be great today." When you do that, you're not only releasing favor into their future but you're releasing favor into your own future because when you help someone else rise higher, that's a seed that you're sowing and God will make sure someone is there to help you rise higher!

Seeing the BEST in Yourself!

Here is a fresh tall glass for you! : )

A Living Raw Food Legacy...live it NOW!!

When I think of the word LEGACY, I think about what someone who has died has left behind.....who they were, what they did...what was outstanding in their life..

Look up the word in the dictionary...leg⋅a⋅cy

1. Law. a gift of property, esp. personal property, as money, by will; a bequest.
2. anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor: the legacy of ancient Rome.

Changing our eating habits is one of the most life changing things we can do. I have heard it quoted on a raw food film, "You can get a man to change his religion easier than his diet."

How we eat has been ingrained into us since we were children. When we were young and fell down, we were offered food to make us feel better...when we were sad, mad or glad, we were offered food...we eat the same foods that our family ate. We use the same recipes...food is used on every occasion to celebrate...food is filled with emotions for us!

The SAD family legacy that was handed down to us about food doesn't have to rule our lives! We are making conscious decisions every day to change this legacy.

Remember: Others are watching you all the time...in the grocery store they notice your cart full of produce...who knows who you are influencing...Your family (in house or not) and friends are watching you...they all know that you are doing something earthshaking...that is why some of them question you...because they know they should do something different too...so challenging you is easier than doing it themselves!

Being aware of all of this: DECIDE TODAY THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR YOU, OF COURSE! But when you get discouraged, think about the bigger picture: Become the LIVING RAW LEGACY NOW for others to pattern themselves after! Mentor people by your example now! Think about the legacy you are living now and what you will leave behind when you are no longer around!!

Let's live the legacy now...

Huggggggggggs,
Susan : )

Do YOU know your worth?

A Woman Who Knows Her Worth

A woman who knows her worth
knows it is not defined
by what anyone thinks of her or tells her
Not by money, material possessions, external beauty, and least not
by the size of her waist
It runs much much deeper than that
Her worth is in inherent
in every breath that she takes
Every cell in her body
a diamond
ringing , singing, vibrating in a glorious mantra
I AM WORTHY

A woman who knows her worth
knows she is enough
simply because
she was born
A seed planted of divine light
whose only job
IS TO BLOOM

A woman who knows her worth
knows that her beauty
her enthusiasm for life
is glowing from the inside
and that people will flock from miles around
to watch her passion burn
Inflaming the world
WITH HER PRESENCE

A woman who knows her worth
never harms herself or puts herself in harms way
She never lets anyone make her feel less
than she is
All the lies that were told to her
and that she told herself about herself
are a thing of the past
She only sees herself through God’s eyes now
She finally sees the light about who she truly is
MAGNIFICENT BEYOND WONDER

A woman who knows her worth
cultivates that great love in herself
for herself
everyday
She nurtures herself
by the things she does
the things she says
and the way she looks
at herself
in the mirror
She has learned
how not to give it
ALL AWAY

A woman who knows her worth
sources her strength
from that
deep
inner
well
of conviction
She has the will to fight for what she believes in
And this time
what she believes in
happens to be
HERSELF

A woman who knows her worth
knows she deserves
all the love
and all the good things that this world has to offer
She owns them
She receives them with open arms
because she knows
in the very deep core of her being
she
IS WORTH IT!

You Do Have Options...for Solutions...if You Want Them : )

5 Things To Do Instead Of Complain

I’ve been speaking to a lot of organizations around the country and the one thing I keep hearing from leaders and employees is that complaining is at an all time high. I’m not surprised.

There are two main reasons why we complain.

1. We complain because we feel powerless.

2. We complain because it’s a habit.

The economy has shaken a lot of people’s foundations and we feel powerless which leads to a rise in habitual complaining.

So this week I want to encourage you to go on a complaining fast. Not because it will make everyone around you happier, although it will, but because it will help you experience more joy, peace, success and positive relationships. Believe me; I know a lot about complaining. I use to be a professional complainer and found that it not only sabotages your happiness and success but the morale of your team and family.

To help you break out of a “complaining” rut here are five things you can do instead of complain. These tips will help you realize you are not powerless. You have the power to choose your beliefs and actions. And in your focus on the positive instead of the negative you'll find the faith, strength and confidence to take on life’s challenges and identify the solutions to your complaints.

1. Practice Gratitude. Research shows that when we count three blessings a day, we get a measurable boost in happiness that uplifts and energizes us. It's also physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time. Two thoughts cannot occupy our mind at the same time. If you are focusing on gratitude, you can't be negative. You can also energize and engage your coworkers by letting them know you are grateful for them and their work.

2. Praise Others. Instead of complaining about what others are doing wrong, start focusing on what they are doing right. Praise them and watch as they create more success as a result. Of course, point out their mistakes so they can learn and grow, but make sure you give three times as much praise as criticism.

3. Focus on Success. Start a success journal. Each night before you go to bed, write down the one great thing about your day. The one great conversation, accomplishment, or win that you are most proud of. Focus on your success, and you'll look forward to creating more success tomorrow.

4. Let Go. Focus on the things that you have the power to change, and let go of the things that are beyond your control. You’ll be amazed that when you stop trying to control everything, it all somehow works out. Surrender is the answer.

5. Pray. Scientific research shows that daily prayer reduces stress; boosts positive energy; and promotes health, vitality, and longevity. When you are faced with the urge to complain or you are feeling stressed to the max, stop, be still, plug-in to the ultimate power, and recharge.

Journaling

I have found that when I put my thoughts on paper...they no longer rattle around in my mind. It cuts the mental chatter. It puts my feelings in a safe place and gives me a chance to relax. I am able to let go of trying to make it all happen and trust that it will. I no longer have to mentally rehearse over and over all the things that have been going on. I can put them to rest, so to speak and move on.

Grab yourself a beautiful leather bound journal or a 99 cents notebook...it doesn't matter...just start putting yourself on the page...you can see yourself from a different perspective this way.

I carry a tiny notebook in my purse, there is a Dollar Store hardbound journal book beside my bed...I even have on in the bathroom and in the van. Wherever I am...when I get an idea that I don't want to forget....I jot it down. Sometimes it is just a few words...other times I write alot...some days I write nothing....sometimes my grocery list or wish list is sandwiched between all those great ideas! : )

I have been doing this for years...It has kept my emotions in check...giving them a place of their very own. A place to be heard...a private place where no one else can see. Sometimes I share some of the deep stirrings of my heart with a friend...but mostly it is for me alone.

Your Ability to Respond....

If you blame someone else for your problems

then the control to change those problems forever remains in their hands.

If you take responsibility for your problems,
