HEALTHY CHOICES GO BEYOND FOOD

Good Morning all!  Thursday.  Did you hear that rain last night?  Seemed like it came out of nowhere!  Rain yesterday, then sun, then rain again.  AND - rain today!  It won't be this way for long and even if it is, there is not much we can do about it except maybe sing a song from our childhood but whatever you do, know it will be gone and don't let it affect how you feel.

Most of us prefer sun but rain is nice too.  Try and enjoy the beauty of it all.  The sound of the drops.  When we look outside it's even what we tell ourselves.  "Ugg, it's raining!"  Why not, "Oh, look at the rain."  A much better way to look at things and healthier for our minds.   Today's quote, "Healthy choices go beyond what we feed our bodies - it's what we feed our minds as well."  Are you feeding yourself good food?  Then feed yourself good thoughts too! 

We work so hard on keeping ourselves in good physical condition, to be the right weight, to look a certain way.  We need to put that effort into our minds as well.  Even more so!  In order to be in the physical body we want to be in we need to be in the right mind as well.  That's even more important!

Your mind and body work together.  That's just the way it goes.  When you hear of people who struggle with their weight, you have to wonder what's going on otherwise?  What are they holding onto?  What is preventing that loss?  A right mind will get you in the right state to work on your physical you.  From a distance it is easy to see someone who is just not happy. 

Someone who is not of the mind they would like to be.  Wake up and tell yourself it's going to be a great day!  Do this everyday!  Tell yourself you are magnificent and do this everyday too!  Put yourself on a pedestal and let the world see what you have told yourself.  That you are wonderful!  Have a great Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy
