“I wish we could all take a vacation from negation.” Rebecca Beard

What kind of day do you communicate to your cells? Remember they feel all your emotions. If you are gloomy, glum, bored, angry, fearful (or any ofrepparttar emotions ofrepparttar 115800 gray variety), your cells will not go to work with joy and vigor. Maybe your stomach cells will not digest very well. Perhaps your head cells will hurt as a headache.

If you are happy, upbeat, grateful, laughing, exhilarated (in short, feelingrepparttar 115801 emotions ofrepparttar 115802 golden variety), your cells will function in tip-top fashion. They will be efficient and robust. Joy-filled. Vigorous. Healthy.

No doubt about it; our emotions affect our bodies. Better watch how we are feeling so our cells can singrepparttar 115803 song of blooming, radiant, zestful health.

And Today . . .

Put your periscope up today and look around. What do you see? Bad weather and enemy ships? A long list of things you must do that you don’t enjoy? Surly people?

Or great weather and peaceful waters? A day ahead filled with things you enjoy? Fun and fulfilled people?

Ifrepparttar 115804 view from your periscope is gloomy, you will report that to your cells. Time to go into “act as if” mode. Lots of research has shown that if you actrepparttar 115805 way you want to be, pretty soon you will be that way.

So act as if you are feelingrepparttar 115806 golden emotions all day today and, after a while, you will. Your cells will thank you for it. You arerepparttar 115807 captain of your attitude and your health; take command now. © 2002 Stephanie West Allen

Do your housework and get more than a clean house. Turn uprepparttar music, get some exercise and burn away those calories. Exercise is a really important tool, because it can help lower your blood sugars. Your muscles use sugar, glucose, asrepparttar 115799 source of energy, so it can actually lower your blood sugars. Begin after you have undergone a stress test before starting on a fitness routine. Just walking like maybe half a mile inrepparttar 115800 beginning, would be enough, then you can slowly build up from that.

Do walk whenever you haverepparttar 115801 chance. Get offrepparttar 115802 bus or subway a few stops early or park atrepparttar 115803 far end ofrepparttar 115804 lot. Walking is a great place to start . You don't need any fancy equipment, you don't need to have a special outfit or anything, what you really need is a good pair of walking shoes, and to go out and start.

Do avoid smoking. Smoking doublesrepparttar 115805 damage torepparttar 115806 body by contributing to poor blood glucose control by interfering withrepparttar 115807 timing and effects of insulin.
