10 Positive Affirmations to Improve Any Week

Maybe you are having a tough week, or just need to improve your perspective. Try these affirmations and feel your spirit get a boost.

Life is filled with good days and bad. Many of the challenges I have faced and overcome provide me with the strength and comfort to manage through stressful times. Those tough days have also helped to give me perspective and make otherwise seemingly mediocre days feel awesome.

With challenge comes perspective and knowledge. Whenever I find myself learning lessons from life the hard way, I try and put that lesson into a sentence that helps me affirm a positive attitude and move forward. Below are a few of my favorites. Next time you are having a bad day or a tough week, just remind yourself of some of the uplifting thoughts below and push on.

1. Any day with positive cash flow is considered a good day.

2. In the worst of times I know my dog still loves me unconditionally.

3. If I can breathe and I can communicate, I can still accomplish just about anything.
 
4. The decision to be confident is mine and mine alone. No one else is required.

5. The unknown might be frightening, but it also provides the chance to learn something new.

6. Most other people are as scared or concerned as I am and often more. Ask them to share their fear so we can comfort each other.

7. I have never done anything so foolish or ridiculous that I couldn't ultimately laugh at myself and immediately feel better.

8. I have no control how long people stay in my life. But I can always improve the experience of the time we share.

9. Everything happens for a reason. My purpose is to simply make the most of what comes my way.

10. If I stick to my core values, the world will eventually sort itself out as it should.

Bonus quote that serves with guidance through any challenge.

Don't fix the present, create the future!

DID YOU KNOW???

                       Ginseng

 
Ginseng is a perennial plant that grows in the harsh conditions of Siberia as well as many other parts of Asia. Traditionally used in Chinese Medicine to treat male sexual dysfunction (among other ailments), it has many medicinal properties.

Here are 7 health benefits of ginseng.

Cancer Prevention 
 Ginsenosides are compounds within ginseng that may help prevent and treat cancer. It is suspected that they reduce cancer cell activity inside the body.

Brain Health 
 Ginseng helps to boost mental capabilities by stimulating the brain cells. It is also thought to curb mental stress by lowering anxiety levels.

Energy Booster 
 Ginseng increases oxygen use and regulates the metabolism, which has been shown to increase energy levels.

Blood Pressure 
 Ginseng contains andaptogen, a compound that regulates blood pressure.

Weight Loss 
 Research suggests that ginseng affects the way the body metabolizes carbohydrates. It is also believed that there is an extract in ginseng that helps the body to get rid of excess fat. Ginseng may also be effective as a natural appetite suppressant. More scientific research is needed to confirm how effective ginseng may be in aiding with weight loss.

Diabetes Control 
 Consuming ginseng on a regular basis may help to manage blood sugar levels. Studies have found that ginseng may actually lower blood sugar levels after a meal.

Menstruation Relief 
 Ginseng tea reduces the pain of severe menstrual cramps while soothing the stomach. It also helps to lessen the intensity and frequency the cramps.
