Our Thoughts Can Heal Us

As a society we are constantly bombarded with negative information. Mentally digested from the news, newspapers, radio, conversation with others and the inter-net, it’s basically everywhere. We don’t have to look hard to find it, in fact what we have to work hard at obstructing it from infiltrate our space, our minds and ultimately our thinking process.

There is documented proof that what we think impacts our bodies. Negative thoughts release hormones that can damage the body; by the same token positive thoughts release powerful healing hormones. We may not even realize we are being influenced physically by the information and thoughts that pervade our consciousness, our sub-conscious. Thoughts and information affects how we feel emotional and physically. They also impacts our immune system and it’s ability to protect us from disease and infection.

Guess what? If you attempted to guess what, you proved my next statement. We have complete control over our minds and what we allow to enter them! Not only that but we are free to formulate whatever thoughts we choose to. If I said “these are stressfully times we live in”, that is the thought or belief I chose to entertain. However if I say, “Live can sometimes be challenging but I enjoy the challenge”, I have altered my thought, belief, perception and thus the affect it has on my physical body.

We possess creative control over our thoughts and what we allow to influence our perception of life. I suggest we choose thoughts that make us feel good and filter the information we allow to permeate our minds; after all it could be the difference between health and illness.
