Cheered

So you don't have a mascot.  Or team colors.  Or a fight song that plays every time you enter a room.  But wow!  Do you have a following !   A support system.  People who are going to stand by you no matter what.  Victory or defeat.  Never, ever, ever forget your fans.


Be your own biggest fan!  Admire yourself more often.  If we actually had a tape recorder of our thoughts, we would realize that most of the thoughts we think about ourselves are quite negative.  Negative thoughts do not create a good experiences for us.  We have to retrain our thinking and speaking into positive patterns if we want to change our lives.

As promised, today I will post about the "mental body" and how it affects our health.  If we want to feel better, there are a few things we must never do.  We must never get angry with your body for any reason.  Anger is telling your body that you hate it, or parts of it.  The cells in your body are very aware of the thoughts you have.  Think of your body as a servant that is working very hard to keep you in perfect health no matter how you treat it.  If you feed it healthy foods, drinks, give it some exercise and proper amounts of sleep, you make it's work easy.  If you sit on the couch, drink soda, overwork it without enough sleep and are grumpy and irritable all the time, then it is working at a disadvantage. 

Good health does not happen by thinking about or worrying about your illness all the time.  Good health comes from love and appreciation.  You need to put as much love into your body as you possibly can.  Thank it.  Many of our illnesses are created by our own patterns of thinking.  Our inner thoughts, beliefs, speaking patterns all either help form health or illness.  You can choose to have thoughts that contribute to health, or you can choose to thoughts that contribute to illness. 

To better understand how our mind and body connect to create vibrant health, read "You Can Heal Your Body" by Loise L. Haye or "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" by Karol Truman.  Both are excellent resources for helping you turn your way of thinking around.  At first, when I read these books, I was disappointed that my own thinking had created some of my imperfections in health.  I didn't like that theory at all.  It meant I had to quit blaming other people or bad luck for my condition.  But the more I understood the concept, the more empowering it became.  I learned that if I created it, then I could certainly undo it.  This is actually good news.

Some of my favorite affirmations for improving health are:
"My body is always doing it's best to create perfect health."
"I am getting better every day, in every way"
"Perfect health is my divine right, and I claim it now"
"I lovingly do everything I can to assist my body in maintaining perfect health"
"I am grateful to be alive today.  It is my joy and pleasure to live antother wonderful day"
"I devote a portion of my time to helping others.  It is good for my own health"
"I look forward to a healthy old age because I can take loving care of my body now"

Our thoughts are as manifest on our face.  Ever meet an elderly person with a permanent scowl on their face?  This did not happen from a lifetime of happy thoughts.  How will you look when you are old?
