WATER BLURBS:
THREE BEAUTIFUL REASONS TO DRINK STATE OF MIND WATER:

1-Do you really know where your bottled water comes from?

Our water comes from 5,000 feet above sea level in Utah, so what you taste is the pure, crisp, 100% mountain spring water that is high in oxygen. (Our water truly hydrates you, because it is simply nature's best water!)

Our mineral level is very low only at 23 TDS. This compliments a healthy diet in which you take your own vitamins/minerals, any additional minerals in your water can actually be harmful to your bones. (You want your water to be below 70 TDS)

Our PH Level is 7.1 which is neutral, and helps settle the acid in your stomach. A water high in alkaline is high in calcium and high in magnesium which is extremely unhealthy for you. Your drinking water should have a PH level between 7.0-7.3.

2-Let your water bottle carry a positive message to the world. "LOVE,PEACE.COMPASSION,BELIEVE"

3-For each bottle you buy we donate a precent of the proceeds to a beautiful, small organization,called Drop In A Bucket, which donates 100% of it's proceeds to build fresh water wells in Africa.

Always recycle your bottle of water!

Read an article about us in The Lifestyle by Dr. Allison Carter or online at The Lifestyle Mental Fitness: When Laura Thereza, founder of State of MindWater, Inc. began her quest to "produce a pure and pristine quality of water in an environmentally friendly bottle to advocate positive messages, such as 'Love', Compassion', 'Believe', 'Peace', 'Hope' and 'Faith', on the labels" she had not studied cognitive-behavioral therapy. Without even knowing it, but through projecting her own philosophy about, "enhancing our inner positive energy toward people and the environment surrounding us everyday," Laura was implementing sound psychological principles into everyday life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has four cornerstones which guide its theory. Two of these four cornerstones state that 1) people create their own reality with the meanings they attach to events and 2) that thoughts, feelings and behaviors are reciprocal. In essence cognitive-behavioral theory believes as Laura seems to; that "our thoughts can change our world." Laura's story is a positive example of how you too can utilize psychology in your everyday life to enhance your mental fitness. Laura grew-up in Brazil and on her way to school each day she would pass by a dilapidated elderly home. Although Laura's life took her away from her beloved country she never forgot about the condition of this elderly home or her desire to help the people living there. She used donations from business venture client's to send as much aid as she could, but still felt it wasn't enough. In Laura's words, "About five years ago, I did not get the funds I projected. As I looked at the bottled water I was drinking, I decided to write the word 'believe' on the bottle.This word of affirmation enriched my visualization and helped me stay focused. I kept that bottle with me everyday and wherever I went.Gradually, I began to believe that I could accomplish this project." Using one of CBT's cornerstones to look at Laura's process, she effectively changed her thinking patterns, which in turn changed her feeling/belief and influenced her behavior. Each of these effects is reciprocal. You can not change your thoughts without your feelings being impacted; you can not change your behavior without your thoughts being impacted. Changing any one of these components will influence the others. Pretty powerful stuff considering the other CBT cornerstone presented in this article, that you create your own reality with the meanings you attach to the events in your life. If your thoughts are negative about an event or situation your feelings and behaviors will follow suit. Laura didn't accomplish her goal overnight and neither did she 'believe' with the same affliction at every moment of her journey, but her water bottle message allowed her to challenge herself to keep her thoughts productive. This led Laura to the actions (behaviors) that allowed her to accomplish her goal. Imagine the feeling that must be associated with that accomplishment! "I have always believed that our mind and thoughts are powerful mediums to drive us to get where we want to go, and be where we want to be. ...now, I look at my bottled water knowing and feeling that my dream of rebuilding that elderly home in Brazil will be A DREAM COME TRUE." Where in your life can you apply the theory of cognitive-behavioral psychology? Try it out.Think of a current problem you are experiencing. Use the worksheet on page three to explore how CBT works. Challenge yourself to apply this theory without having to write down the components. Become increasingly aware of how you are influencing your own moods and behaviors based upon the way you interpret others and the world around you. Utilizing this model in your life does not make life grander or take away the potential hurts and sorrows, but it does continually help you to realize the powerful influence you have over your own reality and the approach you take to coping with life's challenges. Embrace change. Challenge yourself. "Believe." And don't forget to drink plenty of water! You can visit www.stateofmindwater.com for more information on Laura's journey.
