If you are, or have been, diagnosed with cancer, chances are you will become scared, overwhelmed and perhaps angry. And those are all valid feelings to experience. No one would deny you those feelings either…but what good would it do for your psyche if you continued on a downward spiral of negative thinking? A few years back, my mom was diagnosed with cancer…and at first, she was understandably scared, shocked and confused. This type of thinking got her down and created a “desperate” feeling that she had to do anything to get rid of her cancer. That anything included trying an “experimental” drug that her doctor recommended. The problem with this scenario is that the medicine made her feel worse than the cancer did! It also made her so sick, that in the fall of 2008, she was hospitalized for about a month. Fortunately, she is not taking the medication now, and feels healthier than ever. While she still has the cancer, she doesn’t feel it. The shift, of course, happened when she realized that she had cancer, but the cancer didn’t have her.
Positive thinking seems so simple to many, but can be quite difficult to implement in reality. And no one seems to really understand the connection between body and mind, and how one can use this power to achieve health and well-being. There are many stories of people who were in terrible accidents and doctors did not expect them to live. But, through the miraculous power of the mind, they not only lived, but fully recovered! It is this level of positive thinking that will allow you, not only health and well-being, but wealth, wisdom and happiness.
This is not to say that all you have to do is think positive and all good things will come to you. No…you must put action behind your positive thoughts. When opportunities arise, you will be pulled powerfully into action. This means that if you are consistently creating positive thoughts, and then something comes up that correlates with your positive thoughts, taking action will be an automatic response. For example, if you are sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that you will land the job of your dreams, and a call comes to offer you that job, you will jump at the chance, right?
Thinking positive is way more powerful than you may realize…why not give it a go now?

Absolutely right!
Courtesy of a field of scientific study called Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) – and yep, it’s all one word – we now know with absolute certainty that the way you and I think has a direct and often measurable effect on our immune system. That is, how weak or strong it will be and how effectively it will combat sickness and disease. It has been said that beyond genetics, our head (and what happens in there) is one of the greatest determinants of health. The practical reality of this means that the way that we process information and the way we deal (emotionally and mentally) with the events, situations and happenings of our life has a very real impact on our immune system and therefore our body’s ability to fight disease and to deal with general illness.

The mind really is an amazing thing. I’ve always gone by the motto “junk in, junk out”, that’s why I make sure to eat a healthy, balanced diet and to surround myself with positive thoughts and people.
