Healthy Living Starts Within how you feel...

Today I wanted to speak to you in regards to a healthy way of living.  Yes healthy living has a lot of attributes and ways to actually arrive and get to Homeostasis whereas your internal condition remains stable.  I want to start with our feelings.  What we feel not only controls and regulates our mood; it also controls how our body is going to react meaning good or bad.  Stress can cause the production of the stress hormones including corticosteroids, which can accelerate or restrict the movement of waste through the colon.  So our feelings can help or hurt how our body responds and functions.

Now lets talk about feelings we have that make us and our body feel good such as hugs.  Hugs release Oxytocin levels which heals feelings of anger and loneliness.  So today we are discovering a starting point to a healthier way of living just by choosing to feel good rather than bad.  So today lets make a conscious decision and focus on things that make us feel good and are great for us.  Lets not confuse this with things that make you feel good but are not good for you.  An example of this would be excess consumption of food or drink that taste good but in excess is not good for us.  We want to treat our bodies just like it is the only one we have because it is.

With this comes a responsibility to surround ourselves with people and things that bring great thoughts and support to us.  Right now many of us are working jobs that we are dreading to go to each day and our home is not a place of serenity that we are breaking the door down to get to.  All of our daily routines will affect how our bodies last over time.  In all of this; yes we will have a not so great day at times; our goal is just to look at our over all quality of life the majority of the time.

So over the next couple of weeks we will be discussing ways we can approach a better way of living and feeling.  We will talk about statistics and how many of us go through life not understanding that our mind and thoughts are dictating our Happy.  I am Cheri Amour and it is my goal to bring goodness to each person that reads my blog....stay tuned for more Sunshine ;-).


Happy Thoughts Always,

Cheri Amour
