24 GET IN SHAPE
A vigorous walk will do more for an unhappy but
otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and
psychology in the world.

Consider:
■ How healthy are you?
■ Have you always been this way? If not, what’s changed?
■ How important to you is your health?
■ What are you willing to do to improve it?
Make a firm commitment to do whatever is necessary to improve your
health and fitness levels.

Think ‘health’. Drop all thoughts of illness and disease, and use these
affirmations, or make up your own:
‘I love my body. I take good care of it. I feel better every day.’
‘My body is strong and healthy. Health and wellbeing fill every
cell of my body.’

Relax and imagine your body totally healthy, bursting with energy, no
pain or discomfort, enabling you to live a full and active life. Spend a
few moments every day creating a mental image of yourself at optimum
health and fitness. Once this image permeates the subconscious, it
sends healing energy to every cell of your body.
