The Art of Feeling Well

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Art of Feeling Well
by Dr. Varella

If you don't want to be ill ... Speak your feelings.

Emotions and feelings that are hidden, repressed, end in illnesses as gastritis, ulcer, lumbar pains, spinal.
With time, the repression of the feelings degenerates to the cancer.
Then, we go to a confidante, to share our intimacy, our "secret", our errors!
The dialogue, the speech, the word, is a powerful remedy and an excellent therapy!

If you don’t want to be ill ... Make Decisions

The undecided person remains in doubt, in anxiety, in anguish.
Indecision accumulates problems, worries and aggressions.
Human history is made of decisions.
To decide is precisely to know to renounce, to know to lose advantages and values to win others.
The undecided people are victims of gastric ailments, nervous pains and problems of the skin.

If you don't want to be ill ... Find Solutions

Negative people do not find solutions and they enlarge problems.
They prefer lamentation, gossip, pessimism. It is better to light a match than to regret the darkness.
A bee is small, but produces one of the sweetest things that exist. We are what we think.
The negative thought generates negative energy that which is transformed into illness.


If you don't want to be ill ... Don't Live By Appearances

Who hides reality, pretends, poses and always wants to give the impression of being well.
He wants to be seen as perfect, easy-going, etc. but is accumulating tons of weight.
There is nothing worse for the health than to live on appearances and facades. These are people with a lot of varnish and little root.
Their destiny is the pharmacy, the hospital and pain.

If you don't want to be ill ... Accept

The refusal of acceptance and the absence of self-esteem, make us alienate ourselves.
Being at one with ourselves is the core of a healthy life.
They who do not accept this, become envious, jealous, imitators, ultra-competitive, destructive.
Be accepted, accept that you are accepted, accept the criticisms.
It is wisdom, good sense and therapy.



If you don’t want to be ill ... Trust

Who does not trust, does not communicate, is not opened, is not related, does not create deep and stable relations, does not get to enjoy true friendships.
Without confidence, there is not relationship.
Distrust is a lack of faith in you and in faith itself.

If you don’t want to be ill ... Do Not Live Life Sadly

Good humor. Laughter. Rest. Happiness.
These replenish health and bring long life.
The happy person has the gift to improve the environment wherever they live.
“Good humor saves us from the hands of the doctor".
Happiness is health and therapy.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one is perfect and that makes this an imperfect world. As long as this situation prevails, we will always be in need of doctors to take care of our ailments. However, I believe we can strive to do our best to make our journey of life simpler and take things in stride when the going gets tough.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

It's the life in your years."

Looks like I'm going to need a confidant pretty soon - before my body starts rebelling and start sprouting all sorts of diseases. Of course,blogging does take some of the edge off it, tho.

Above all sharing can bring loads of happiness and well being too be it sadness. So share and share alike cos its better than having it pent up within you. Find that someone to share, even if he/she is a stranger.

Hi JT, I just believe in being happy, always look at the forest and not a tree, know the sun or the moon will always appear, and most of all to have a sense of humour, as well have good friends like you that never hesitate to give a smile.
Live life today, for tomorrow is another day.
Best regards, Lee.

j.t.,
Now that is what I call an art!
You are definitely right. Living life to the fullest is the best theraphy. Sad things will definitely come to us from time to time, but sharing will make a good remedy(",).
Cheer!

Hello JT,

A lot of things can bring in on the illnesses! No one formula fits all. I think what it all boils down to the last reminder: 'Do Not Live Life Sadly'...yeah like what Lee said, BE HAPPY! That is rule number well..everything..ha ha.

I like the quote:

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

It's the life in your years."

- Abraham Lincoln

It is so true. Beautiful reminder.

JT, I remember there was some kind of a tag but I went on hiatus and didn't do it. Please forgive me. Maybe kita do some other tag ok. Cheers.

Good entry j.t. Very wise words indeed :).

I tend to worry a lot and sometimes can be indecisive. No wonder I have gastric. Hehehe

Hello Kak Teh

So nice to see you here. It has been a while since I have gone to your blog. I wish I had more time on my hands but I shall not complain. I will take one day at a time and be happy. :)

Hi Mat Bangkai

I agree that blogging does ease some tensions ... to some extend. I mean if I need to relax, I will visit other blogs but that's all I can do. When I have too many things on my mind, writing a new post or leaving comments are the last things I can do. :) I need a clear mind for that.

J.T. said...

Hello Zawi

Very true ... when we share our troubles, it helps ease our burdens. No matter what, we will always need a confidant in our lives.

However, one may be in for more trouble if the confidant is more screwed up. hahaha
Seriously, finding the right person to confide in is also important. If not, one will be left more confused and troubled.

J.T. said...

Hi Lee

Ah! so nice to see your call sign again. :) So happy you are back.

Lovely words of wisdom, Lee. In short, we need to accentuate the positive.

Cheers!

Hi Akmal

I agree, sharing is good remedy. Just like Zawi said, "share and share alike cos its better than having it pent up within you."

I was in search of quotes on sharing and found this by Norman MacEwan. He said, "Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Hello Ruby

Lee certainly said it, "be happy". However, it can be difficult at times when all the chips are down but it is about attitude during those trying times.
I also believe that some hardships make us stronger. The next time we are faced with a situtation of the same nature, we usually take it more positively and calmly. That attitude results in happiness.

Oh Ruby... don't worry about that tag. Truth be told, I forgot about it. Blogging and tagging should be fun and done in one's own time. There a gazillion tags floating around in the blogosphere. :) We will do the next one. No wait, we will try to do the next one. haha

J.T. said...

Hi Trueblue

I tend to worry too and can be indecisive at times. Maybe that is why I have gastric attacks too ... unless it is because I forget to eat. ;)

Seriously though, I had a friend who would fall ill everytime she heard her mother in law was coming to stay with her for a few weeks. That is the time she would be sniffling in the office with a cold, she'd be edgy because of her migrane attacks and a host of other ailments. Poor lady ... she must have been really stressed out just thinking about her mother in law.

Heelo J.T.
Sorry for such a long time without a visit to your blog, but I have been very very busy working on Flavia's blog that finally is been known in many places in the world and David Santos is helping me a lot in this job.
Dont't forget you alwayes can use the translation service - not very good, but helps - to understand what is been written in Flavia'a blog.

How have you been J.T? I hope everythibng is OK with you.

Take care.

J.T. said...

Hi Odele

I was thankful to see the story of Flavia in David Santos's blog. His blog definitely has a wider audience and he will be able to help you with his connections.

I have been very busy myself and visit blogs when I can.

I haven't forgotten you because you are on my blogroll. :) Thank goodness for the translation service on your blog. At least I get to understand a gist of your posting.

You take care, Odele.

Hi JT,

To echo Kak Teh: "Wise words"...

Now, if only it were easier to really follow them in today's world...Sometimes, not so easy lar...

Speak your feelings can lead to alot of animosity, if not careful...

Thanks for sharing, Jacqui!

J.T. said...

Hi Daphne

Oh I hear you! It is not so easy to follow this doctor's advice. We must know when to share/say something and when to hold back. We need a balance in everything. Too much of everything is not good. :)

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Take care, my dear.

J.T. said...

Hi Pearly dear

Don't worry about not being able to visit, I understand your busy schedule. Very soon, I will be getting busy myself and I have to take a break from blogging until the new year, hopefully.

Anyway, you said it ... everything is in our brain. Our attitude and how we approach life determines the outcome of our days.

We will catch up with a phone call soon. Looking forward to it. :)
