JOYful Benefits

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s a healthy recipe to assure that you’re feeding a good attitude.

            We all agree that our attitude affects our quality of life.  And our thought life affects our attitude.  The way we face the daily routine of life, as well as the struggles that come our way, has a direct effect on our emotions and choices.

            Tips for Good Health

 

            Did you know that it’s been proven that our physical condition is also affected by our attitudes?   According to a recent article (Thursday, July 21) in “HealthDay News”,  the more optimistic you are, the lower your risk of having a stroke. This recent finding lengthens the list of health benefits tied to having a positive attitude. Already, various studies have found more optimistic people have a healthier immune system, faster wound healing, a lower risk of heart disease and many other benefits.

Do YOU choose to be JOYfully healthy?

 

            If we want to be healthier…let’s work on our attitudes!  I believe that’s exactly what Paul was saying in Philippians

• when he exhorted us to “Rejoice in the Lord always….” and
• when he reminded us that “our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.” 
• In His letter to the Philippians, Paul went on to say “Do everything without complaining or arguing” and to “shine like stars in the universe”.

            May we follow the JOYful example of Paul…as he followed the example of Jesus…so that we might be healthier physically, emotionally and spiritually.

            Let’s keep our thoughts and attitudes aimed toward joy as we faithfully drink in the JOY JUICE of JESUS!
