INTRODUCTION For many years now I have been asked to put together a list of ‘Kirsty-isms’ or things I say that have made a difference to people’s thinking. I have watched people madly right down statements I have made, or mention days and weeks later how when I said ….. it really helped them.

So here it is! My first little book of inspirations, suggestions and thoughts for your consideration and use where you feel they may help you. Some of these are uniquely mine, whereas you may find others are quoted or sound similar to other quotes that I may have picked up along the way. I acknowledge all the wonderful people who have inspired me through their words of wisdom, even if sometimes I forget where I heard it from. I have a list of 90, as 9 is a significant number for me. The meaning of number nine represents attainment, satisfaction, accomplishment, and our success to achieve an influence in our circumstances. Nine requests that we recognize our own internal attributes, and extend these abilities out into the world to make a positive, influential difference. These principles will be reflected throughout this book. The goal of this book is to assist you in adopting positive behaviours to lead a healthier life and integrate social, mental,

emotional, spiritual and physical wellness. Current research shows that many of today's major health problems are related to lifestyle and the individual’s state of mind. Furthermore, many physical ailments are preventable or minimized by developing positive health habits and an optimistic outlook. You may use these statements in whatever way you wish. You may like to work through each one by picking one daily from 1 – 90; by flicking through and trusting your intuition to guide you; by picking one that you feel meets you needs the most on a particular challenging day. It is up to you, there is no right or wrong way. I suggest that you journal each day. Consider why did I pick this one, what does it mean to me, what can I do differently while using this consideration, how do I feel about this insight, how is this working for me? Write down your answers, insights and your decision on the action you wish to take and therefore create more of what you want in your life.
