I'll be gone again for awhile but before I leave, I want to share this beautiful message which came to me by mail today.
1. If you don’t want to be ill, share your feelings. Emotions and feelings that are hidden, repressed, end in illnesses as: gastritis, ulcer, lumbar and spinal pains. With time, the repression of feelings degenerates into cancer. Then, we go to a confidante, to share our intimate thoughts, our "secrets", our errors! Dialogue, speech, word, all these can make up for a powerful remedy and an excellent therapy!
2. If you don’t want to be ill, make decisions. The undecided person remains in doubt, anxiety, anguish. Indecision accumulates problems, worries and aggressions. Human history is made up of decisions. To decide is precisely to know to renounce, to lose some advantages and values and to win others. The undecided people become victims of gastric ailments, nervous pains and skin problems.
3. If you don’t want to be ill, find solutions. Negative people do not find solutions; they enlarge the problems. They prefer lamentations, gossip, pessimism. It is better to light a match than to bewail the darkness. A bee is small, but produces one of the sweetest things that exist. We are what we think. Negative thoughts generate negative energy that is transformed into illness.
4. If you don’t want to be ill, don’t live by appearances. The one who hides reality, pretends, poses and always wants to give the impression of being well. He wants to be seen as perfect, easy-going, etc. but is accumulating tons of weight - a bronze statue with feet of clay. There is nothing worse for one’s health than to live on appearances and façades. These are people with a lot of gloss and little root. Their destiny is the pharmacy, painkillers and the hospital.
5. If you don’t want to be ill, accept. The lack of acceptance and the absence of self-esteem make us alienate ourselves. Being at one with ourselves is the core of a healthy life. Those who do not accept this, become envious, jealous, imitators, ultra-competitive, destructive. Be accepting, accept that you are accepted, accept criticisms. It is wisdom, good sense and therapy.
6. If you don’t want to be ill, trust. The one who does not trust, does not communicate, is not open, is not related, does not create deep and stable relations, does not know what true friendship means. Without trust, there is no true relationship. Distrust is a lack of faith in yourself and in faith itself.
7. If you don’t want to be ill, do not live life sadly. Good humor. Laughter. Rest. Happiness. These replenish health and bring long life. Happy persons have the gift to improve the environment wherever they live. “Good humor saves us from the hands of the doctor". Happiness is health and therapy.
