“I wish we could all take a vacation from negation.” Rebecca Beard
What kind of day do you communicate to your cells? Remember they feel all your emotions. If you are gloomy, glum, bored, angry, fearful (or any of
emotions of
gray variety), your cells will not go to work with joy and vigor. Maybe your stomach cells will not digest very well. Perhaps your head cells will hurt as a headache.
If you are happy, upbeat, grateful, laughing, exhilarated (in short, feeling
emotions of
golden variety), your cells will function in tip-top fashion. They will be efficient and robust. Joy-filled. Vigorous. Healthy.
No doubt about it; our emotions affect our bodies. Better watch how we are feeling so our cells can sing
song of blooming, radiant, zestful health.
And Today . . .
Put your periscope up today and look around. What do you see? Bad weather and enemy ships? A long list of things you must do that you don’t enjoy? Surly people?
Or great weather and peaceful waters? A day ahead filled with things you enjoy? Fun and fulfilled people?
If
view from your periscope is gloomy, you will report that to your cells. Time to go into “act as if” mode. Lots of research has shown that if you act
way you want to be, pretty soon you will be that way.
So act as if you are feeling
golden emotions all day today and, after a while, you will. Your cells will thank you for it. You are
captain of your attitude and your health; take command now. © 2002 Stephanie West Allen
