Health and Happiness Happens When You Want Health and Happiness

When you want to live in health and happiness set the goal of achieving both. Pay attention to the words you choose in creating your goal.

Look for ways to realize health instead of eliminating conditions and disease. People achieve life once they move toward something they actually need instead of running far away from what they fear or wish they didn't have.

What do I mean? Someone with health issues who is unhappy may say they want health and happiness when what they really want is to stop feeling bad, lonely, and crummy. See the difference?

Understand that your subconscious mind fails to recognize negative words. So any time you don't want something your subconscious mind receives and acts on the massage you do want it. Not eager to vomit comes in as eager to vomit.

Think a moment, how often during the day do you actually think about and focus on what you do want? If you are like most people you spend most of your waking hours focusing on what you do not want.

When does someone ask you a question as simple as, "Where do you want to eat lunch?" does one list all the restaurants you are doing not want to travel to before you get to the one you are doing want to patronize? Be honest with yourself.

The words you choose determine how you feel and interpret events in your world. Your thoughts create every aspect of your world. To be healthy you want to know what to do to create optimal health rather than stop being unhealthy.

Instead of losing weight (What do you do when you lose something? You find it, right?) set a goal to live at the weight that is optimal for you, that allows you to do all the activities you enjoy allowing you to feel terrific being your body.

Your body does have an ideal weight which is probably different from that of the models you see - their photos air-brushed and manipulated to create some unnatural look for the media. Those people, in real life, often look very unhealthy with pale skin and way too many bones showing.
Think about this fact, can you ever be happy if you do not like the way you look and feel? Now flip that thought around - can you ever be healthy if you are not happy?
The answer to both questions is an unequivocal, "No!"
When you feel happy you accept yourself exactly as you are. Starting with self-acceptance you can move toward gaining optimal health because you no longer resist what is. You cannot make any changes unless you start where you are now.
