Welcome to the Power of Positive Workouts e-Newsletter. This edition's affirmation is "I am passionate." Sometimes our passions get buried under our daily living routines. It is at those times that I reconnect with my inner passions by stating the "I am passionate" affirmation and then I listen. Since my passions change as I move through life, it is important to rediscover those passions. Just like it takes time to strengthen our muscles, it may take time to understand your current passion. If you are persistent, one will surface, maybe even two. I challenge you to affirm yourself by repeating the affirmation, "I am passionate" and then listen as you discover what your passions are today.

"I do have a power, a God-given one, and that is power over my own mind, emotions, and reactions. If I exercise that power wisely, the problems outside of me will work out without my interference."

I'm excited to share that this fall I will be releasing two new workout DVD using the affirmation concept: 1) Yoga and 2) Strengthening. I am looking for your help in determining what my workout DVD (titles) should be called. If you can complete a 9 question online survey that contains questions pertaining to the yoga and strengthening title names (could take less than 3 min), I would appreciate it.

In thanks for giving your feedback, you can receive a free copy of my eBook, Meditative Movements, which retails for $9.95.

Lie on your back with both of your feet on the floor. Slowly lift your right foot off the floor (foot flexed), bringing your knee towards your chest. Grab your knee with both hands and gently bring your knee closer to your chest. Hold the position. Slowly return your right foot to the floor. Now lift your left foot off the floor, bringing your knee towards your chest. Grab your knee with both hands and gently bring your left knee closer to your chest. Next time you raise your right foot and bring your knee to your chest, say the affirmation “I am flexible.” Hold the stretch; then inhale, lowering your foot. Recommend repeating the movements with the affirmations about eight times.

Alternative: point your foot instead of flexing it.
