Medicine

Give "It" A Helping Hand

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 8 months ago 1 min read
Meditation is an important part of Self-Care

“Health does not always come from medicine.

Most of the time

it comes from peace of mind,

peace in the heart,

peace in the soul.

It comes from laughter and love”

We live in a world

where medicine answers all of the health issues.

A pill to fix that headache,

we all know ‘the drill’.

However,

attitudes are slowly changing.

The emphasis is becoming more

on helping ourselves

then relying on manmade medicine.

Don’t get me wrong,

medicine saves lives

and the doctors and nurses

are ‘miracle-workers’!

But we can “help ourselves” too.

A positive spirit keeps the mind more peaceful,

and the more tranquil our minds are,

the calmer our bodies are.

Giving ourselves time to rest and ‘heal’,

and filling our days with love and laughter,

will give us that peace of mind

which will keep our bodies ‘peaceful’.

There is nothing wrong

with giving medicine

a ‘helping hand’ too.

Our everyday health will improve

if we prioritize our self-care,

every single day.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
