The importance of the mind-body connection came home to roost with me in recent weeks as I have been dealing with healing a sinus infection and other health issues. I diminished the importance of my emotional health and simply concentrated on taking my meds, following my diet, getting exercise, etc.

I got better but realized every day I was feeding myself negative messages, such as �This isn�t going to work and I�m always going to be sick.� I noticed that these thoughts were a self-fulfilling prophecy because I did feel worse. That�s when I realized I needed to take control of my thoughts.

Now, as I'm getting better and better, I'm a firm believer in the power of the mind to aid us in healing and keep our immune systems strong. Has anyone else had am experience with the effect of their emotional health on their physical health?
