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.
2
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,
3
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.
