Happy Mindset Monday!

Dr. Mamta Bhatt changed how I think about joy.

She was a Harvard-trained scientist living the high-flying life. Private planes. Boardrooms with Rockefellers. The youngest person in the room.

Then one day, she couldn't get up from bed. That's how debilitating the fatigue became.

She went to live in a monastery. And one morning, she saw a sunrise. Inside her, a voice yearned: "What would it be to be happy?"

She was looking at the sunrise. She had a smile on her face.

And a voice inside her said: "But you are happy."

She said: "I can have joy and I can still have a body that's not well. I didn't know to hold the two together."

From that moment, she chose joy.

Within 90 days, she healed herself with food as medicine.
