Mind

What the mind thinks, the body will accept it as fact.

Your mind is just like a cell phone, it sends waves. The body is the receptor of the waves. So remember to think positively and let the bad thoughts go away. As soon as you are aware of a bad thought, replace it immediately with a positive thought.

Become aware of everything around you: What affects your mood, your thoughts, your behaviour, your health, etc.? Whatever doesn’t feel good, let it go and turn the page and keep on with our life?

What can you do to help your mind to relax? STOP, have a glass of water with lemon, smell the flowers, enjoy a few breaths, admire the scenery, look at your children, talk to a friend, have a hug, it is good for the immune system.
