Today I want to focus on mental wellness. You’ve been told about how powerful affirmations are, but have you heard of I AM statements?

Affirmations are statements of what you want to do, be, or have and they work for some and don’t seem to for others. I think the people who get them to work are those who have figured out that they need to write their affirmations in the present tense, as if they were true right now and add in emotion and gratitude. Like Bob Proctor’s statement: “I am so happy and grateful now that…”

That leads to I AM statements. I think I heard about this form of affirmation originally from James Ray and most recently at another personal growth seminar. I AM statements are more of a personal declaration than a goal or affirmation and are therefore more powerful. You start them with “I AM”, “I AM DOING”, or “I HAVE”. They are very much right now. When you say “I AM…” you are firmly telling your subconscious mind exactly how you see yourself right now and it really has no choice but to create that right now. It is very cool stuff. Of course, like any other affirmation, you want to read them and say them out loud two or more times a day, preferably before you fall asleep and right after you wake up in the morning.

You can take them another step and have them printed on a card and mailed to yourself.  Choose a card with an inspirational picture on the front then list all of your I AM statements on the inside.  My wife found a great online service that does this for a fraction of the cost of a regular card.  If you go to her site at www.meaningfulmail.com and leave your name and email address in her contact form she will pay for your first card.  Check it out.

How is your immune system doing for you?  Right now I am watching to a video from David Wolfe, who is considered to be one of the leading authorities on nutrition,  about how important it is to take care of the immune system.  He spent a good part of the video talking about a specific class of herbs that are very important to boost the immune system.  These herbs are the medicinal mushrooms.  He said that these are the mushrooms that grow on fallen trees.  What they do is work to concentrate certain minerals that the trees have absorbed throughout their lifetime, which can exceed 100 years.

He mentioned 5 specific mushrooms to look for.  Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake, Agaricus, and Coriolus to look for when looking to boost your immunity.

David Wolfe also mentioned how they also contain a lot of protein and can affect other systems like the nervous system and brain function as well as the blood and heart.  Very cool stuff.

I take a mushroom supplement that has 4 of the mushrooms David talks about plus 10 more for a total of 14 medicinal mushrooms.  Click here for the Immunity supplement.
