The new Art of Being Well by Sandra

If you love to be healthy... ...make decisions. The decided person with trust in herself or himself and trust in God feels secure, in expectation and in excitement. Decisions solve problems and face challenges. The good news is: Whatever decision we make it is always okay the way it is decided. We are guided and we are in good company, no matter on which path we walk.

...speak and live your feelings. Emotions and feelings that are accepted, allowed and faced even if they may hurt in the first moment make us feel happy, true and authentic in the long run. Feelings are precious, all of them. They show us our needs and our dreams. They make us move and strive for the better. If you love to be healthy...

If you love to be healthy... ...find reasons to laugh every day of your life Smiles and laughs are the only international currency that is able to exchange happiness all over the world. It is a pure investment: You give a smile and you are paid back by an answering smile. You share a laugh and you feel richer from one second to the other. Find reasons to laugh every single day of your life. The miracle of smiles and laughs is that they make you as happy as the person you laugh with. This shared joy is doubled joy – at any time all over the world.

If you love to be healty... ...find solutions. Negatively focused or desperate people enlarge their problems. It is better to light a candle than to cry about the darkness. And sometimes it even needs darkness to teach us the beauty of brightness. We are what we think. The happy thoughts generate happy and loving energy and acting that transforms into love, health and happiness.

If you love to be healthy... ...free your golden Buddha In 1955 a plaster Buddha was moved in the Thai temple of Wat-Trimitr. As by a miracle the rope tore and the Buddha crashed onto the floor. A pure golden Buddha appeared. He was hidden under the plaster for more than thousand years. This is a true story and it is an analogy of ourselves. Whatever we think about our being – some think that they are ugly or wrong the way they are – inside we are all divine like the Golden Buddha.

If you love to be healthy... ...dare to dream Allow yourself to dream and to believe in dreams and miracles. Focus on what you wish to come true in your life. Most of us concentrate on the lack and absence of the things or incidents we dream of. The magic is to concentrate on the time when everything unfolds the way we love it to. If you are single focus on the time when your beloved man or woman will be by your side instead of being sad and desperate. Feel loved already and love yourself, first of all. If you do love yourself others will follow. That is a law in life, a wonderful law.

If you love to be healthy... ...Love Love yourself. Love your partner. Love your children. Love your family and friends. Love everything that is. Love is for free. It is the only healing, the only medicine universe provides for all of us in plenty. Love is everywhere around us and in us if we only allow ourselves to open our heart: the most precious muscle in our body, the most precious spring of power and energy in our soul.

Send this to your friends if you feel like it. It may remind them to think of the love, health and beauty in their lives. Aloha Nui! In Hawai’i this means: Much love!
