Worrying: "STOP THAT -- YOU'LL WORRY YOURSELF SICK!"
By award-winning author and stress-relief expert Susie Mantell
Some people get so invested in and attached to negative thinking that they just set up camp around their anxiety and hang out there! But if you'd like to find more light in your day-to-day thoughts,I can assure you it is there. It's a funny law of The Universe: When we begin to look for "the lighter side". . There it IS!
Always remember that there is constant communication between the mind and body, (and if you will, spirit.) What we think and feel and believe can significantly impact body processes including immunity, the healing process, digestion, memory, and overall physical and emotional health. Those are pretty good reasons to nip worries in the bud. There is great scientic and psycho-social work being done regarding the impact of belief systems on who we are and become; upon our health and happiness. Some say that in near-future health care one of the first questions a physician will ask will be "What do you believe about the nature of life, and about your own health?" Some are headed in that direction already. Take a look at books by Drs. Andrew Weil, Larry Dossey, Deepak Chopra, and Carl Simonton, that discuss belief systems.
