MELDING MIND AND BODY: RX FOR ENTHUSIASM!

April 21st, 2009

Before you read through the rest of the book and embark on the Immune For Life program, I’d like to leave you with a final thought that may help you, not only with the program but with every other part of your life as well. That, my friend, is enthusiasm. Whatever you do, do it with enthusiasm. There’s nothing like joyous exuberance to raise your endorphins and brighten your outlook. We can all use a generous dose of sparkling joie de vivre.

Here’s a prescription I give my patients: a prescription for enthusiasm. I encourage all of my patients, even those who are happy and healthy, to add this to their lives.

Enthusiasm is the extra bit of magic that makes your affirmations and visualizations even more powerful. It’s well known that thinking enthusiastically can make the most depressed person feel elated, excited and optimistic. I tell my patients to look into the mirror every morning and tell themselves that they are enthusiastic! That they walk, talk and act enthusiastically, and that they feel enthusiastic.

It’s a great prescription, and it really works. For best results, use it over and over again. Enthusiasm is nontoxic and has no harmful side effects.

If you fill this prescription in the pharmacy of your mind, and fill it correctly, you will begin to feel better. Physical problems may require other prescriptions, but we can always benefit from extra enthusiasm. You’ll be rewarded with endorphins and the other good biochemicals that make you feel happy and healthy.

Through the years, having treated thousands of patients suffering from a wide variety of diseases, I have seen what a powerful medicine the positive, determined mind can be. I can tell you that happy thoughts are a tremendous shot in the arm for your “doctor within.” Using the “Dos and Don’ts” and affirmations in this chapter, using them with vigor and enthusiasm, will go a long way toward making you the healthy, happy and successful person you deserve to be.
