Today you will learn about how to create positive affirmations, be grateful to your body, and prepare a delightful way to eat fruit and a simple switch to poha (flattened rice) made from whole red rice.
Create positive affirmations
Your thoughts or what you say to yourself in your own mind—or self-talk—can influence your body chemistry very powerfully. Negative and stressful thoughts and words can trigger stress hormones, while peaceful and positive thoughts and words—or affirmations—can be healing for your body. Become aware of the quality of your self-talk and make it more positive, affirming, and empowering.
Watch this video by Nandini Gulati to learn how to create positive affirmations.
Key Points
- Affirmations are the positive words you say to yourself. They can tap into the power of your mind and help you create your reality.
- Beliefs -> thoughts -> words -> feelings -> actions -> habits -> life!
- To change your reality, change your words from negative and critical to positive and empowering.
- Examples of affirmations include:
- I can do this.
- My family loves me and will support me.
- I choose to eat healthy food.
- You can magnetize the reality you want to create for yourself by using your imagination and creativity to write a powerful affirmation. Do this for your own health journey. Connect with it and repeat it often in visuals or pictures in your mind and words.
Be grateful to your body
Gratitude is one of the most powerful and affirmative vibrations in the universe. What’s the one thing you often take for granted all the time? Your body!

Key Points
