Can “power thoughts” help you towards your goals and make you happier and healthier? Ami Hudson thinks so, and will host a free “Power thoughts & Affirmations” workshop Tuesday to show you how. “Affirmations can be goal-specific, so bring your New Year’s resolutions and try it out,” Hudson says.

“Over the years we can take on limiting ideas and negative beliefs - about life and about our ability to achieve things. Affirmations are positive statements and beliefs that inspire us and bring better experiences to our lives. They replace doubt, cynicism, or defeat. They assert the best of who you are and how you want to experience life,” says Hudson.

Examples? Replace ‘It’s too late’ with ‘There is plenty of time.’ Or change ‘I’m overweight” to ‘I am becoming my perfect weight.’ “It’s a small change in words, but a different way of thinking,” says Hudson. “Most of us could benefit from speaking more kindly to ourselves–and besides, it works. Our words and beliefs matter, so why not make them positive and affirming?.”

“Power thoughts & Affirmations” will be offered at noon and again at 7 p.m. Participants in the noon workshop may feel free to bring their lunch. “I’m hoping people who work nearby may be able to join us around their lunch break,” said Hudson. 

Hudson is a Christian spiritual director which she described as “your personal chaplain to help you navigate through life.” She has taught religion and lifelong learning courses at the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center and has served as career coach at Halifax County High School. Her website is www.AmiHudson.com and her office is in Halifax.

This workshop is the third in a monthly “Best Self” series hosted by Hudson. Topics for upcoming months include: 5 Things for Couples, Getting Serious about Laughter, and Making Sense of your Dreams. “I chose topics that have benefitted me, and I hope they will contribute to others’ well-being too,” said Hudson. Recent workshops were “Balance your Life” in November and “20 Minutes of Quiet” last month.

“Power Thoughts & Affirmations” is set for Tuesday, January 11 at Hudson’s office on North Main Street in Halifax with a choice of times, Noon-1:00 or 7-8:00 pm. Participants should register for the free workshop by Friday, 1/7 by calling Hudson at 476-4111 or by e-mail to ami@pure.net, indicating a preference of noon or 7 p.m. Leave an e-mail address if you want notification of upcoming workshops, which run through April.
