Several people go through life with the same old habits but wishing that their circumstances would somehow be different. It’s like saying, you want to lose 25 pounds, yet continue to eat unhealthy, and not doing anything to achieve different results.
Years ago, I was a hypochondriac. Every bump, bruise, or pain I felt on my body, was sure going to be a disease or illness.
I focused my thoughts on such negative outcomes, that at times I would end up in the ER, only for doctors to find absolutely nothing. All the worry leading up to nothing was stressful, and certainly didn’t help me to experience emotional health or happiness in my life!
I am living healthier and happier today, because the first thing that I discovered in my life that was hindering me was my thought life. Boy, what goes on between your two ears is pretty powerful. Most people will associate health right away with eating the right foods and fitness. While that is true, it’s just one key to living healthier and happier and we will share posts that are directed towards those topics.
Living healthier and happier needs to be balanced in every area of our life: spirit, soul, and body. Sometimes, we forget about the spiritual and emotional aspects of health, which I believe is the most important step in the process.
One of the best resources to help you in this area is Winning the Battle of the Mind, by Gregory Dickow. I would like to give one reader this book, to help you being your journey to living healthier and happier.

This is so true! I am a recovering hypochondriac myself, and believe me I still struggle with it. But I do believe that your thoughts create your reality. It takes mental discipline and practice to keep your thoughts positive. I hope the winner of your book is someone who can truly benefit from it!
Very well said! I hope each of us is being continually transformed by the renewing of our minds and is taking every thought into captivity. It can be done!! Thanks for sharing such encouraging words!

Great Post! Romans 12:1-2 comes to mind, the renewing of our mind into the mind of Christ, the lessening of negativity that captivates us so that life becomes peaceful no matter what comes.
Really enjoy your writing style,
Your TRW/CWTR and Twitter friend,

Duong,
This is so true. Your mind must be constantly renewed in a positive state to accomplish great things. Way to kick off 21 days to a happier and healthier life!

This sounds like a good book @cuteangel79
Our thoughts are expressed by our words and both thoughts and words influence our reality more than we realize. We can be held captive by our own negative thoughts or released by thoughts and words that line up with God's truth.
You are right that our spiritual health is most important because it affects everything else about us. We can eat the perfect healthful diet and still be reduced to weak and diseased victims through fear and anger.
God is the source of everything good, including good health.
Oops, I forgot to add my twitter name: @dianelharris so I can win the book.
