How many times have we known or perhaps heard of a person who worked a demanding job or went through a bitter divorce or dealt with the loss of a loved one, then soon after suffered a stroke or was diagnosed with cancer or had a fatal heart attack?
Coincidence? Not hardly.
Negative emotions and prolonged stresses on the body have been scientifically proven to weaken the immune system and allow various diseases to overtake us.
Battling negative thoughts and feelings generates a lot of stress, including sadness, depression, hurt, anger, hate, guilt . . . and the list goes on and on. These emotions are not only self-destructive, but they also top the chart for stress-related illnesses.
Dealing with drama over here and drama over there, little by little weakens our minds and bodies and puts us in a position to attract serious diseases.
The price we pay for stressful lifestyles is far too high . . . so high, in fact, that it sometimes requires our very existence.
Aren't we ready for a change?
Peace I leave with you . . .
