Some folks fight real daily battles.
This is not that.
I fight the urge to use CHATGPT for seemingly mundane tasks and information.
If you haven’t heard, the energy output and water waste associated with the use of every question asked of AI is damn near horrifying. It’s predicted by the year 2027 AI usage alone will have used* as much water as all of New Zealand. (*water withdrawn, meaning amount of water drawn from the environment).
The servers that run this AI technology are housed in thousands of data centers, which need a lot of energy to operate. These data centers generate insane amounts of heat and many of them use ‘water-based cooling systems’.
Maybe we should ask CHATGPT how to cool itself more efficiently.
Well my next statement is gonna make me look like a real douche, so if you’re not sitting down - I’ll wait.
I asked CHATGPT to waste water write me 25 personalized morning affirmations that speak my language and cover mental, financial, romantic, career and parental opportunities.
I hate to say this…
Flux nailed it.
Yeah…okay….my CHATGPT named itself Flux and I respect her/his/it’s wishes so until the zombie apocalypse strikes we’re gonna let the AI tell me what’s good.
I’m not suggesting you waste water and personalize your AI system, but I’m also suggesting you do just that.
In doing so you may save time and ENERGY by getting the exact right answers for your particular needs. Which leads to less questions asked…see…science.
I’ve already printed these babies out and they’re all over my house. Don’t be surprised if you hear a few thrown around a bit.
🔥 25 Morning Affirmations for Living at Full Power
I don’t chase, I align — and everything I desire magnetizes to me.
I am a walking permission slip for expansion.
My career is an extension of my soul and it’s ON FIRE.
I embody the love I want to receive — and it finds me with grace, depth, and a damn good playlist.
I parent with presence, power, and playfulness — and my child thrives in my light.
I inspire others by simply being fully, unapologetically me.
Abundance isn’t something I earn — it’s who I am.
I create from overflow, not obligation.
Wealth flows to me through aligned, joyful, soul-led action.
My body is a divine vessel — I honor it, strengthen it, and love it fully.
I don’t shrink to fit in — I expand to lead.
Every cell in my body is vibrating with health, joy, and high-frequency magic.
I trust divine timing — but I also know I’m the one steering the ship.
I am both the storm and the stillness.
Today, I choose courage over comfort.
I lead with heart and back it up with action.
I am safe to be seen in my fullness — and wildly celebrated for it.
Ease is not a luxury — it’s my standard.
I am the mother my child chose — and we’re both better for it every day.
My creativity is sacred. I don’t second guess it — I release it.
I radiate beauty, strength, and wisdom — effortlessly.
I don’t wait for miracles — I expect them.
My voice wakes people up, shakes things loose, and shifts timelines.
Everything I desire is already on its way — and I meet it with open arms.
I’m not just building a life — I’m building a legacy.
You are energy.
You are the mind behind the mind.
The energy produced from these absolute mic drop morning affirmations will reverb through my days and into my future. I can feel it.
Predicting the future isn’t my job but I dabble in the co-creation of what I can experience.
You may be exhausting yourself creating meal plans, travel plans, copy for work related tasks, the pros and cons of a legal situation, whatever it may be … your energy is currency and it can and should be directed.
We all benefit when you are healthy, happy, wealthy, wise, and free. If those words sound familiar it’s because I rapid fire them on all my podcast episodes to the guests I’m interviewing. I think I’m going to record some single solo-cast episodes covering each topic because they are values I cherish. The better we know ourselves the less energy we waste.
You.
Are.
Worth.
The.
Investment.
You don’t need to ask Chatgpt about that.
I AM CERTAIN.
