When your body is stressed and fatigued, it’s not healing and repairing as it should on a daily basis.

When you eat something that you know will make you ill, you disconnect from your Body Within, the inner voice that tells you that you’re making a mistake. This disconnect will get worse as you age, not better.

Self-healing comes from mindfulness, being present and listening.

You have had many experiences and moments in life that have taught you what is right for you. No one else has walked a mile in your shoes, so don’t give them the power to choose your destiny.

We all have an idea of what we believe aging “should” look like.

For instance, many people believe their experience will be the carbon copy of their parents or other family members.

They may even go so far as to take inventory of the ailments in their family and believe that those things are their destiny, too. Or they become so preoccupied with the possibility of illness that they place themselves on the strictest of health regimens.
