Monday Mindset: Healing Your Body with Gratitude

Your body is designed to heal itself. There is a natural force within us to fix and repair injuries and fight illness. What isn't discussed very often is that your soul/mind also influences what happens in your body.You have probably experienced the principle that whatever you focus your attention on grows bigger. This same principle applies to those aches and pains or injuries you might have. Your body will eventually heal even when you're focusing worry and anxiety on what is wrong. But your negative attention does tend to make the pain greater and take longer to heal. You can speed your healing with the power of gratitude. This is not a denial of the injury or pain. But rather an expectation that healing is taking place and an appreciation of the result you know will come.
