“Imagine your mind as a garden and thoughts as the seeds you plant. Habitual negative, unhealthy, self-critical thoughts produce the weeds and thistles of depression, discontent, and anxiety in the garden of your mind. Luckily, the opposite is also true. Consistently planting positive, healthy, constructive thoughts will yield a crop of beautiful feelings, such as gratitude, love, and joy.” MindSelfFeelingsBeautifulJoyImagineProduceGratitudeHealthyAnxietyNegativeGardenOppositesPlantCriticalSeedsYieldWeedConsistentlyConstructiveCropsDiscontentUnhealthyHabitualLove GratitudeThistles Book:The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart Source: The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart
“I can't imagine where I'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. Sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, I'm a little absent from that discussion, because I've never thought of gender as an issue. In sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. You all work together to reach a goal, and I think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLittlesI CanSelfPlayFactsTogetherOpportunitySportsUnderstandingGoalRolesIssuesImagineTeamTaughtVictoryDisciplineHealthyFemaleImportanceCompetitionDefeatGenderFactorsDiscussionWorking TogetherGovernorsSelf DisciplineAbsentGraciousVictory And DefeatHealthy Competition Author:Sarah Palin
“For women who do not love us, as for the "disappeared", knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait.

“Your soul is that part of you that existed before you were born and will continue to exist after you die. So as you become aware of yourself as a soul as well as a personality, the new understanding of power becomes aligning your personality with your soul, with the highest, most noble, most healthy part of yourself that you can imagine or reach for. The intentions of your soul are harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life.” WellsSoulDiesUnderstandingBornImaginePersonalityHealthyHighestHarmonyIntentionNobleYour SoulCooperationReverenceReverence For Life Author:Gary Zukav
“So if we can't express it or repress it, what do we do when we feel angry? The answer is to recognize the anger, but choose to respond to the situation differently. Easier said than done, right? Can you actually imagine trying to strong-arm your anger into another, more amicable feeling? It would never work. Determination alone won't work. It takes a new intelligence to understand and manage our emotions. By getting your head and heart in coherence and allowing the heart's intelligence to work for you, you can have a realistic chance of transforming your anger in a healthy way.” IfsWayFeelsTryingHeartSaidDoneFeelingsStrongChanceAnswersEmotionSituationImagineArmsEasierHealthyDeterminationAngerManagementAngryManageWorking ItAllowingRealisticTransformingAnger ManagementCoherenceHead And HeartStrong ArmsEasier Said Than Done Author:Doc Childre
