When we are physically not well, most of us panic or get upset. We may think and speak only of the illness. Because of our mind-body interconnection, our every thought affects every cell of our body. Medical science has proved our emotional state plays a huge role in determining our physical well-being. How we think can either heal us or harm us. This explains why worry, anxiety, pain or fear about an existing illness only aggravates the disease. and can make us even sicker. Not having perfect physical health causes distress, makes you overthink, or question why it happened?
Instead, we need to focus on restoring health. Use the power of your mind to create perfect health in your body. Repeated thoughts of health manifest a healthy body. Radiate healing energy and speed up recovery with thoughts like - Every day I am feeling better and better. Everything is perfect, my life is beautiful, my body and mind are at ease. Practicing affirmations like these, full of positive wisdom and strength sends positive energy to your body, and mind and beyond. Worrying is a negative energy which attracts negative results with our health, relationships, roles and wealth. We start thinking about the negative outcome and fearing it even before it has happened.
Shift from dis-eased thoughts to total healing. Create a healthy body with your mind. Visualize and radiate happiness and love to every cell of your body. Experience you are the master of your mind and body. Look within and remind yourself and others by affirming, ‘I am fine, it is just this body that is not well.
Every negative situation and illness looks big at first, but as we move forward, we need to use our own positivity, God's power and help and a clean intellect to arrive at a solution. Problems stop affecting us as they become situations and wisdom tells us that every situation shall pass. No situation is permanent. Practical experience says that after some time, situations seem smaller. Knowing this your determination and patience helps you think more clearly to bring about a solution.
Remain stable and strong and do not give up easily. Every situation and illness always has some benefit hidden in it. Even negative situations make us more powerful and wiser. They make us think differently and take us on new paths of success, which we would have never found, if the situation had not happened. Health doesn't come from nutritious foods, vitamins and medicines alone. It comes from Peace of Mind, Peace in the Heart & Peace in the Soul. It is magnified by Laughter, Love and Faith In God. May you find peace and good health for a lifetime.
