Healing

     The physical body's ability to heal enables us to have a long and healthy life.  With the help of medical science, our bodies can repair and restore after illness, injuries, surgeries, and the bumps and bruises of life.  Most of the time, our bodies function and heal without our even being aware of what's going on.
     Equally amazing is our brain's ability to heal from past events, stress, worry, and unhealthy thinking.  Sometimes, psychologists and therapists can help improve our mental health.  Most of the time, we just need to be aware, sustain our healthy thoughts, and repair and heal the unhealthy.
     Our need for physical healing is often more obvious than our need to improve our emotional and mental health.  Evaluate what works to achieve goals, improve behavior, and  have satisfying relationships.  Forgive others and yourself to heal past wounds.  Develop strategies to cope with stress and reduce worries,  Eliminate  prejudices and long-held opinions that no longer seem true.   Be  open to new ideas and perspectives.  Improving the way we think and feel can lead to a better life. 
     Healing occurs in body and mind in order to restore and maintain health. Some healing will be automatic, some will need the help of professionals, and some can happen with our own efforts.
