Healing Attitude – Focus on Balance and Well-Being
ByIt is the usual greeting to ask someone “How are you doing?” or “How’s it going?” How many time do you get the elongated response: “Oh, I pulled my back out. I’ve been in pain. Now my knees are hurting me. I have arthritis in my hands” and so on? As humans, we love to tell our story — sometimes in great and emotional detail. But what happens when our story gets repeated over and over to everyone we come in contact with, and we get stuck in that place of sickness?
Often it leads to more sickness, as we find ourselves in an emotional cavern of ill health and body/mind imbalances. The more we focus our attention on the details of our stresses, symptoms and ailments, the more they expand and multiply. Repetitive emotional stress and prolonged negative thinking can lead to physical symptoms — this has been shown through scientific studies.
Intellectually, most of us DO have a clue about this, but sometimes our human nature prevails — and if we are hurting, we want to tell the world, simply because we believe that might help us feel better. And perhaps for a moment, it does. Additionally, we tend to like the attention that our “sickness stories” bring us. And we always welcome support from others.
But overall, isn’t it more beneficial to embrace well being, to take as many powerful steps to return to balance and positive health? Practically speaking, part of that may require excellent medical care — both traditional and holistic. But another powerful part of that may include quieting the negative story about our ongoing list of ailments and all that is wrong in our lives.
Shifting the way you think about health, even a little, might have remarkable results. Start to connect to a sense of BALANCE, of harmony — consciously make that change in your thinking. So yes, it’s okay to acknowledge your ills — your feelings are your feelings. But don’t marinate there. Always envision yourself moving forward in the flow of well-being. Make it your intention to accept powerful and complete healing in your life.
