Mind Over Matter

Watching your body deteriorate before your eyes isn’t fun. Losing control each passing day creates all sorts of tension. Having to always adapt to your new ability and environment gets really tiring. And when science tells you there is no cure for your declining health, there is nothing you can do but to continuously nurture your inner state, and find alternative ways to move ahead.

One of the main tools I use is to practice meditation until my whole being is in love with life — that’s my secret to coping and thriving. The mind is a powerful thing; you can train your brain and the body will follow, where the mind is sick, the body is sick and vice versa. So when life gives you lemons, work on becoming a human pretzel.

TLDR: With anything in life, it’s mind over matter.

Now, go do yer stretches! 💪🏼 .
