Being Healthy

Good health starts from the mind. A healthy mind is a good breeding ground for good physical and mental health. How do we achieve that? A healthy mind is a sound mind. A sound mind comes from positive mind. duh

What generates a positive mind and how does one stay positive? It all comes with hard work, I can assure you that. Just as you want to stay slim or lose weight, you need discipline in your diet and discipline in carrying out your exercise regime. So is in the case of maintaining a positive mind? What is a positive mind anyway?

My version of a positive mind is to have a bright outlook of things. Everything happens for a purpose. Your refrigerator might take a break, so what do you do? Kick it, scream at it?
I would just be more creative in preparing my food, to last longer, while I have it fixed. If my budget allows me, I'll go for a brand new fridge and better one too (more eco-friendly and energy saving). There comes a good reason to chuck out the old one.
Positive mind is thinking of good outcomes from an event. It takes practise and constant reminders to myself. Yeah, it is really a bold step, to stay cool when the temperature around you rise and rise. When I looked back at my angry outbursts back in my younger years, (i'm not that old yet), I could see that I lose out in more ways than I could gain. I hurt my loved ones and I was sad. It wasn't a win-win situation.

So, how do I stay positive? READ....
Read more self motivation books, share experiences with positive people. Get away from energy suckers. DO...
Do things that I'm happy about. Such as talking,playing (yes, you need to play), hopping, skipping, being cheerful. Be ready to smile.

What comes from being positive then? hey, hey, hey, you got it!
A healthy mind, much reduced stress, less grey hair, better perception to life, friends and families love you more...because you are bubbly!
