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.
