ALL ON THE MIND

ALL ON THE MIND

I saw a woman younger than me walking with difficulty while climbing the steps to a pharmacy store. Obviously she was experiencing rheumatic pains. She could hardly move her legs and made faces at every attempt.

When the weather is cold like it is now many people including the younger ones are afflicted with rheumatism. About all of them are taking several pills and avoiding so many kinds of foods. Almost all have develop the habit of enjoying how so many pills they are taking and how so many foods they are avoiding and how so many pains still continue devastating them.

In my case I am not avoiding any kind of food and I am not also taking any anti rheumatic pill. I never have time to exchange experiences with them about pains. I think I am the living proof that 90% of rheumatic pains and swellings are psychological in origin. When one sees food against rheumatism he immediately begins feeling the pains on his joints or just thinking that the cold season is around is enough to initiate an attack.

I remember what my mother used to say: “You know, those pains have “minds” of their own. When you caress your painful swelling, the pains invite their kind to come around and stay with them as the body they are attacking is so kind and caring”. So the pain and the swelling are magnified and intensified. “But if you don’t mind them”, continued my mother, “They will feel neglected and will just leave you as they transfer to another caring body”. Seemingly corny and shallow but it worked because the power of the mind is so strong that what we think becomes a reality.

Our attitude about health matters much for health, according to the World Health Organization is not simply the absence of disease. Health is actually a state of well-being and optimal well-being is a concept of health that goes beyond the curing of illness to one of achieving wellness.

Our health doesn’t depend solely on the kind of health care we are receiving or the kind of pills we are taking and the kind of food we are eating. Our health is our responsibility. We are the only ones who can make the life style decisions that bring about our well being. We must individually take steps to keep ourselves healthy and to promote genuine wellness. Positive thinking helps much.

The choices we make daily for our lives is very important in attaining the wellness that we deserve. We can choose to do more of what is good for us and the world around us and less of what is harmful to us. We all possess incredible inner wisdom and as we gather information and experiences we can gain confidence in using energy to follow our path to wellness.. We can choose to learn more about our health and the variety of health care options available. Our strong mental energy is enough to defeat the power of ailment to put us down. The problem is, we easily succumb to the treat of ailments and so we easily resorts to all kinds of pills as we also continue believing that we are already defeated. Think Healthy at all time.
