There are many schools of thought- spiritual, entrepreneurial and mental which strongly suggest that ‘We are what we think’. The Bible is one of them, Proverb 27:3 ‘For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Keep your thoughts positive because your thought become YOUR WORDS. Keep your words positive because your words become YOUR BEHAVIOR. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes YOUR HABITS.”

In these particularly trying times of Covid-19, more than ever we need to find ways to stay thankful, keep our eyes and ears on positive things and stay mindful of the wonderful strengths we possess and are blessed with. Here’s a few affirmations we love from Dr. Carmen Harra, a best-selling author, psychologist, and relationship expert. Remind yourself of these each day, out loud or just as a whisper to yourself…
