"Robert Ader, Ph.D., a founder
of the field of study that investigates links between the mind and the body's
immune system and a professor emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of
Rochester Medical Center, died Dec. 20 at the Highlands at Pittsford. He was
79." - http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/index.cfm?id=3370
Quietly, our minds either speed up
or slow down healing. Optimistic thinking is the missing
ingredient you might not hear from your doctor, for whatever reason. Worrying
and stress hinders healing. Therefore, by shifting your thinking a little, you
can choose your healing rate.
Sports Realization is where an
athlete visualizes defeating the opponent. This concept has not spread too far
in the health care area, for reasons that the public might not know.
Now you
now know the secret ingredients. What are you going to do about it?
Here are some tips to think healthy,
beginning right now.
- Think yourself healthy. Imagine how your body is healing, in whatever way you want. You can imagine warriors defeating the illness. You can also imagine an angel or fairy whisking the diseased parts of you away. The choice is up to you.
- Sweep unhealthy thoughts away. Worry, stress, and the like are not helping you heal. You could imagine you have a "malware removal system". When worries pop up, the system would automatically usher them out of your mind. How you think is up to you.
- Act yourself healthy. Act as if you have the health you desire. Do not act sick. Choose activities that stretch you in a healthy way. Instead of lying there worrying, maybe you could go for a little walk. Do not let your thoughts or other people get you down. Act as if you are healing. Look at your progress each day and tell someone how good you are doing. Watch yourself get better.
- Be with healthy people. Let health rub off on you. Maybe go to the local pool, do some stretches, and listen to the kids play. Let their enthusiasm for life infuse you with health. Turn off the news and shun negative people. They can go their own way. You are busy getting better. Find doctors, friends, and family members that support you in thinking yourself well.
- Be grateful for what you do have. Maybe you do not have the health you desire, but there always someone worse off than you are. Look at what you do have and thank the universe for that. Keep building on the good that you do have. Forget about what you do not have. Make the best of what you do have and be happy with that.
Of course, work with a healthcare
professional with your particular health condition, if you can. Ask your doctor
to coach you in thinking yourself well. You have a right to be as healthy and
happy as you can be!
