Bettering oneself

I was under the weather on Sunday, and through a combination of self-pity, worry, fretting, obsessiveness and googling of symptoms I managed to make myself feel about ten times worse. The next day I woke up and had an epiphany. (Drum roll please...)
If I have this capacity to make myself feel that much worse then it stands to reason that I have the capacity to make myself feel that much better.
It's one of those things that seems obvious when you realize it, and is invisible until you do. Hence, I thought that was a Thing Worth Sharing.

So through this process of learning, of analyzing which thoughts and emotions are beneficial and which are harmful, we gradually develop a firm determination to change, feeling, 'Now the secret to my own happiness...is within my own hands'
~ The Dalai Lama

By mobilizing our thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking, we can reshape our nerve cells and change the way our brains work.

'Go', said Jesus, 'your faith has healed you.'
