10 Healthy Attitudes About Sickness

.
1. Anything going on in your body that you treat as the enemy has the
power to defeat you unless you make that sick part of you, your friend.

2. Sickness can be the key to living the healthiest & happiest life
you can live or it can be the key to the doorway out of here. You choose.

3. Sickness was never meant to be a dragon to slay but rather
a sign that something stressful in your life needs to be changed.

4. When you are going in a direction with your life that's not in your
best interests, your body will tell you so by getting sick on you.

5. Disease is not a battle to win but rather a condition to understand from
a spiritual point of view that will allow you to make that sick part of your body well again.

6. Sickness is your soul's way of getting your attention when the
more gentle methods of communicating with you have been ignored.

7. Disease is weakness leaving the body if you allow it to.

8. If you believe the pain you feel might be the beginning of
some illness for you, chances are, what you believe will come true for you.

9. Sickness is a signal that you are thinking about life in a way that doesn't feel good to you.

10. People get sick when they 'believe' they can't have, acquire or achieve something they really want. To get well,  give up wanting what you believe you can't achieve. In its place want something else, something you can achieve and the  moment you do, you will begin getting well.

Making Anger and Bitterness Work For You.

.
While many folks will judge people who are angry and bitter as negative people, I judge them as honest people. People don't feel anger and bitterness unless they have a reason to feel that way.

Have you ever felt anger and bitterness? If you have that means your sense of justice has been violated. There is nothing wrong with feeling that way.

The question is, what are you going to do with your feelings of anger and bitterness? Are you going to go postal and shoot and kill people who aren't responsible for your 'pissed off' state of mind in the first place? People do that you know... Or are you going to man up and be responsible for your feelings of anger and bitterness and use those emotions in a healthy and constructive way....

That's what I am doing, I feel anger and bitterness. I have felt it for quite sometimes but I have denied it. Why have I denied it? Because I think I am better than that. Well it doesn't matter if I think I am better than my feelings of anger and bitterness, I feel them.

Why do I feel them? I feel them because I know how much I have given to other people in regards to my wisdom, time and talent and money and I know how little I have received back from people. The scales of my personal justice system are unbalanced and as a result I have made the decision that I will no longer take care of the people who don't take care of me.

Is that the right thing to do? It is if I don't want to remain a victim of other people's ingratitude. Now that I have owned up to my feeling of anger and bitterness, I have regained my power over them. Regaining power over feelings I dislike allows me to change how I feel by changing my thoughts. And since I don't like the bad feelings anger and bitterness provoke in me, I will make a list of the people I am grateful for rather than focusing my energy and attention on those people who have displayed ingratitude toward me.

"Feeling GOOD is a the result of FOCUSING your attention on what you DO want while leaving what you don't want alone"

"Putting other people first all the time will put you back at the end of the line"

"If you don't take care of the people who take care of you, if you take them for granted, when you least expect it, they will leave you"

"Taking from people, friends and strangers alike, all the time without giving good things back to them will result in the universe removing those good people from your life"

Not Fully Expressing Yourself Can Lead To Violence

We are meant to 'fully' express ourselves and when we do we feel lighter and brighter than we did a moment before. Trouble is, most people have been trained, conditioned, punished, over the years, to suppress their thoughts and feelings rather than fully express them. Suppression leads to depression and other forms of illness including people resorting to violence as a way to solve their problems. In the final analysis, violence and abuse solves nothing and only leads to more violence and abuse while thinking in cooperative and harmonious ways has the potential to fix everything.

Granted, the urge to strangle the sh*t out of someone is a strong one but if we don't control our own urges to resort to violence, who will? It doesn't take courage to kill or wound a person. Anyone can pull a trigger, shoot a gun and kill someone. On the other hand, it does take non-physical courage to control the urge to kill and work out our problems and differences of opinion with people in peaceful and harmonious ways.

Are you person of violence or are you a person who possesses non-physical courage? Choosing the path of violence or the path of peace is a moment by moment choice we make and no one can make that choice for us except ourselves. What moment by moment choices are you making?

What People Think of You is NOT Important

Getting stuck in your thoughts about what other people think of you is a painful and hopeless waste of time. First off, if you are worried about what other people are thinking of you, you are thinking they are thinking the worst about you and that does feel good at all. Unless you are a certified, proven, mind reader there is no way for you to know what other people think of you until they tell you so... However, thinking people are thinking nasty things about you will attract nasty things to you. I suggest you stop thinking that way and start thinking that people are thinking nothing but the best about you.That will attract good things to you.
