How do you wake up in the morning? Are you mentally alert, raring to go, ready to leap out of bed? Do you open your eyes looking forward to the day ahead, or is yours perhaps a more lack-lustre, pedestrian, or even sluggish awakening? There’s a way to put more pep-in-your-step, and it doesn’t have to come out of a bottle or a packet. The “way”, is to energize your thinking, and it’s good for your health.
Finding the sparkling energy that gets you up out of bed and carries you effortlessly through the day, starts with your thinking. The reason for starting with one’s thinking each morning, is that physicality is a bit like a car parked in the garage. The vehicle has all the working parts, but it remains inactive. It doesn’t move until a person gets in and drives it. The same can be said about one’s physical state. What you think about the body, drives you towards experiencing good or bad health outcomes.
Tips to energize mind and body.
– To get more zip-and-zing into your life, start the morning in the driver’s seat. Get-up with a zest for life.
– Set yourself free from any jaded and humdrum thoughts. Engage in activities that excite or energize you. Do something you love. Cultivate meaningful relationships. Be proactive.
– Invigorate your thinking with glad-to-be-alive, hope-filled thoughts.
– Don’t lower your vim-and-vigour levels with fear-filled, negative thinking. “Stand porter at the door of thought. Admitting only such conclusions as you wished realized un bodily results, you will control yourself harmoniously.” Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health p. 392
– Expect to be, and stay, full of get-up-and-go all day long.
– Energize your thinking and wellbeing by practicing these two steps.
- “… embrace your body in your thought, … delineate upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness.” Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health p.208
- “Take possession of your body and govern its feeling and action”. Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health. p.393.
