How is your health? Did you set some Wellness Goals in 2010? Are you exercising daily? Are you eating better this year?
My mother used to say: “If you have your health, you have everything.” She is right.
I recently re-read a few books with the focus on wellness and good health: “The Secret” “The Healing Heart” “Younger Every Year” “Fit For Life” Here are some quotes from those books.
Happier thoughts lead to essentially a happier biochemistry. A happier and healthier body. Negative thoughts and stress have been shown to seriously degrade the body and the functioning of the brain, because it is our thoughts and emotions that are continuously reassembling, reorganizing and re-creating our body. Dr. John Hagelin
>GOOGLE Cathy Goodman’s Story LAUGHTER is the Best Medicine
She employed three simple strategies to heal her breast cancer:
GRATITUDE
FAITH
LAUGHTER & JOY
NORM COUSINS Masterpiece “The Healing Heart” tells us:
ATTITUDES play a large part in combating illness. Specifically: Laughter, Playfulness, Joy, Faith, Hope and Love. Laughter releases endorphins which activate a morphine-like substance effect. Psycho-Neuro-Immunology is the study of how we think/feel and the mind and body’s ability to bolster the immune system to fight and win against disease. He suggests:
Rent and watch a comedy a night for 30-nights. LAUGH as many times a day as you can!
Massive doses of Vitamin C every 3-4 hours (as it’s water soluble & out of our systems in that short span of time). 1500 miligrams 4x daily for 30 days.
Make a Long Gratitude List of reasons why life is so wonderful and a precious gift
Get in the habit of helping others less fortunate than you
Make a long list of Goals – A lifetime goal list regardless of your age. What would you like to SEE, DO, HAVE, BECOME & SHARE?
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR WORDS! Words and their corresponding feelings form BELIEFS on a sub-conscious level. With 60,000 thoughts a day going through our minds, and over 75% of them negative, pay particular attention to the ones you repeat over and over. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO YOURSELF? Write them down. Look at them. Change the negative ones.
