“The mind and body are not separate units, but one integrated system. How we act and what we think, eat, and feel are all related to our health.” Bernie S. Seigel M.D. From the book Love, Medicine & Miracles.

I love this book and I think that Bernie is a phenomenal human being. This book was incredible and I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in life! :)

Now, into the inspiration for today. We can often feel like our minds and our bodies are separate. That if something is going “wrong” with our bodies we feel like our body is the enemy! That it is us against our body and we need to fix, change, and fight it! And, we also can think that if our mind is agitated it doesn’t influence our bodies. But everything effects us like Bernie said, how we think, what we eat, and the emotions we are feeling are directly correlated to our health.

We are integrated and we are all unique! So, what works for one person might not work for another. This is the great experience of being alive, figuring out what works for us! I know that sometimes I can hope that someone will have an answer for me, or some “guru” will be able to show me the way. But, what I am realizing is that it is all up to me. I have the choice to be aware of my emotions, what I am thinking and eating and what I am doing on a daily basis. This awareness and conscious choice of how I want my life to be is the key to health.

When we are happy, we are going to be healthy. And, it is more than just saying, “yes I am happy.” You have to believe it. You have to really feel it and experience happiness and joy as your truth. When we do that, our cells rejoice, and celebrate in bliss. From this place of inner happiness we then are more inspired to workout, to eat healthier, to think happy thoughts and feel happy emotions!!

Everything makes a difference. One positive thought leads to another. It is living one moment at a time and being aware of how we are showing up and then saying “Yahoooo” if it is congruent with our desires and if it is not then we have the power to stop and say, do, think, eat something different! We always have a choice!

It is actually quite fun when you really take it on as an experiment and getting to know this fully integrated Thing called You! :)
