Our thoughts are intimately connected to our health and well being. When times are tough, it is easy to be consumed with negative and depressive thoughts. Fearful thoughts and emotional stress make our physical body feel sluggish, heavier, and tighter. This body tension is physiologically stressful, in turn suppressing our immunity, opening the door to illness. Bacteria, viruses and parasites wait patiently for an opportunity to invade our bodies and make themselves at home, when resistance is low.
We need to be aware when we think negatively that we lower our defences, and increase our chance of becoming ill or diseased. Especially true in these economically turbulent times, we need to take control of our thoughts. Becoming conscious of persistent negativity and turning our minds in a more positive direction takes constant vigilance.
Cultivate your energy, or life force, by taking time for yourself everyday. Try the practice of Qi Gong, Tai Chi, or Meditation, all thought to increase your positive vibrations, keeping your mindset positive. Remember the law of attraction: like attracts like. So draw positive experiences into your life, including good health, starting with thinking positively!
