Stress magnifies whatever we are feeling

My dr told me the other day that "80 percent of stress is in my head". I thought about what he said when i hung up the phone and hes right. I realized that as long as my thoughts are on how I'm physically feeling, that magnifies my symptoms. Im sharing this to say i started thinking and focusing on other things... things that make me smile or laugh and i noticed after a few days i felt much better physically and mentally. Its a day to day work. I used to feel so blue about this phase in my life being only 42 but then i realized it could be so much worse. Everyone has a different story, but I believe better days await us ALL. It wont "rain" all the time. I pray we all stay encouraged. Live, laugh, and love... we are all beautiful inside & out.

Be Encouraged,

Happy holidays
