The mind-body connection is extremely powerful. Your thoughts and feelings can be very stress-inducing and negatively affect your physical well-being.

Thoughts of guilt, shame, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, resentment, judgment, hatred, vengeance, and unforgiveness, can make it easier for you to get sick. They can make it harder for you to get well.

Think lovely thoughts. Look on the bright side. Look for blessings in disguise. Be grateful for what you have. Be positive, optimistic and hopeful despite the challenges you're facing. Help others. Forgive others. Love others. Love yourself. Forgive yourself.
