Since early days we read a proverb “a healthy body keeps healthy mind“. True for all ages!
“We feel emotions in our bodies,” wrote Dr. Arthur Barsky, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School in his book Worried Sick: Our Troubled Quest for Wellness. And some emotions can deeply harm us. Learn how to achieve a healthier state of mind.
“By changing our minds, we really can change our lives”
asserts Dr. Coral Arvon, Director of Behavioral Health and Wellness at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Miami, USA.
Writes Dr. Barsky: “We ‘burn’ with anger, ‘tremble’ with fear, feel ‘choked up’ with sadness; our ‘stomachs turn’ with revulsion. That’s the bad news The good news is that we have the power to change negative thoughts and feelings into positive, rational, motivating thoughts, and in doing so, help create a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Focusing the mind-body health is very important because it can greatly boost our chances of achieving what we want in life, including a fitter, healthier lifestyle.
