Mind over Body

I just wanted to share something really quick. Just remember that the mind has control over the body. Ever wondered why someone who eats an unhealthy diet, smokes and drinks but has a great social life, can live a long and happy life? And why someone who has been eating healthy all their life might develop a cancer? Well, what goes on in your mind is of utmost importance. If you are leading a healthy lifestyle and obsessing about what you eat, but are unhappy with your existence and yourself and have no social support, then, you might rethink this strategy and put more emphasis on simply enjoying life and not being too tough on yourself! Of course, this doesn't mean go a take drugs, get totally wasted and only eat fast food...just don't beat up yourself when you go off the raw diet or have a glass of wine or a huge chocolate cake!!! It's ok, as long as you enjoy it.

I guess the lesson is: enjoy life, live your dreams and be happy and grateful!
