“I’m so scared,” the words can ruin my day! So can the words, “I’ll never be able to _________.” I counteract and protect against the negativity of thoughts like this by saying,

I can do it. Yes, I can.
I can do it. Yes, I can.
I can do it. Yes, I can.

I FEEL GOOD!

Boosts self-esteem and self-love;
Counteracts and inoculates against negative self-talk;
Offers a 2-to-3-minute easy-to-do physical practice that’s based on a combination of QiGong, Yoga, and Meditation techniques.

This unique mix of content fosters mindfulness and makes it easier for children and adults to relax, rejoice, and rejuvenate:

1. Saying affirmations three times, each time emphasizing a different part of the affirmation. Repetition builds resonance and fosters internalization.

2. A Build Your Own Affirmations section assures that affirmations are relevant.

3. The Monkey-Away section provides a two-to-three-minute physical practice that calms the mind and body.

4. Deep breathing is encouraged by illustrations and text. Deep breathing provides the body with a significant amount of fresh oxygen. It purges stale carbon dioxide from the lungs. Both the body and the mind are calmer.

I FEEL GOOD! is being vetted prior to publication. I am particularly interested in getting feedback from parents; teachers: librarians; practitioners of Yoga, Qi Gong, Reiki, Meditation, and other healing arts. It will probably take you between 15 and 30 minutes to peek inside the manuscript and provide feedback.
