Does what we think affect our health?
A. Our thoughts and attentions manifest the processes by which we respond to a stressor. For Example, if we think, “I’m not going to be sick,” our attention is given to the sickness or illness. If on the other hand we give attention to being healthy by saying, “I am healthy and express the full expression of life,” we have accepted health as the normal. According to the study of psychoneuroimmunology our thoughts will produce different chemical responses in our body. Those thoughts which are positive and uplifting will always produce chemicals which encourage healing. Therefore our thoughts become a physical manifestation expressed through our health. Make sure to express gratitude for your life, take an action which helps others and serve without expecting anything in return. These thoughts and actions will help you stay healthy.
