“There are two great medicines - diet and self-control.”

Peace Family,
Below you’ll find copy of the foodlog I’ve been keeping to stay on track of my nourishment. I used a scanner to make a jpeg image of the table and affirmations I use, so now you guys can get a sneak preview of my lovely handwriting 
I mentioned this last Sunday in the latest Knowledge Build Entry, how I’ve been using a measurement system to keep track of what I eat and how it affects my energy and emotions. Not only does this help conquer a bad habit, it also shows me how to stay energetic for my most important responsibilities.
It hasn’t been easy, but there’s been a lot of progress so far. Breaking a habit you’ve had for years is never a simple task, and so I’m learning to be patient with myself as I continue on with it too.
Here’s the actual chart (click on the image for a better view):
The columns read: Time (when I ate), Hunger Scale (from 0-5, zero being completely famished, five being not hungry at all), Nourishment (what I ate and how much), Pre- & Post-Emotion (how I felt before and after the meal or snack) and Supportive Thought (statements to keep me in-tune and on-track).
And here’s a copy of the affirmations I wrote on the reverse side:
You can click on the image for a larger picture here too, but for those who (for whatever strange reason) can’t seem to decipher my exquisite penmanship, the statements read:
2.) I don’t eat if I don’t need to.
3.) Through self-control, I’m becoming more healthy & economic.
4.) I accept all responsibility for managing my health.
5.) I forgive myself for not following knowledge.
6.) I’ve made mistakes in the past, but that’s OK.
7.) By being nutritious, I’m becoming Supreme.
8.) Growth, power & greatness are assured.
9.) I love my body, and treat it well.
In the last post, there’s a link explaining what affirmations are with some powerful examples in video form. While you’ll still need to check the page out for a full break down, here’s a video the page contains.
Until next time fam,
Peace,

Wattles quickly propels the reader forward, laying a foundation for understanding the essence of true greatness in only two pages. 
Think about it like this: Just as you are not your body, but the spirit force (pure consciousness) which animates it, so there is an Original Spirit Force, or God, which animates all of Nature. However, unlike man, Nature’s spirit has been in existence since the beginning of all things, and therefore, Nature knows all things, “from the wreck of a planet or the passing of a comet to the fall of a sparrow.” (This is what the Native Americans understood.) While your awareness extracts wisdom from your personal experience only, Nature’s awareness extracts wisdom from all that was, all that is, and all that will ever be, past, present and future. Your experience covers only the affairs of your ephemeral lifespan; Nature’s experience covers all of creation.
Here’s the first entry for our 
The “Principle of Power” is the divine source of conscious growth - an ability open to the human species alone. While plants and animals grow along certain fixed lines, humanity has a power over its growth and a dominion over its reality unavailable to all other living things. According to Wattles, mastering the unique ability to command and direct growth (what is also called “constant elevation,” or “perpetual transformation”) is the purpose of life : “Man is formed for growth,” he says, “…it is essential to his happiness that he should continuously advance.”
I first mentioned this on 
center of self-knowledge, not from some mechanics or “tricks-of-the-trade.” With this approach, the author becomes the book, and the process of writing is really the process of him opening his pages (inner self) to the world. As a book-developer, Naomi helps aspiring writers to do just that.
Towards the end of last month, we held a special, free teleseminar to jump start things here at 
Continuing on though, check out these audio clips from The Quest for Time-Mastery , a lecture I gave last November with student-activist group BCP (remember the family I mentioned in 
an audio CD about two hours long. While it took a second to get used to the Southern accent, the program was definitely motivating, entertaining, and “on-point.” Zig filled his lessons with plenty of analogies and anecdotes, and his overall animation and enthusiasm spoke through the entire program.
