Healing From Disease: 4 Things That Make Healing Happen We Can All Do Family Health Cancer Diseases/Disorders Mindfulness

Do you want to live a healthy and happy life? As a 27-year-old yoga and fitness expert that possibility was threatened for me until I looked into alternative health solutions. Upon meeting people who were told they would die in a few weeks yet lived years later, I started interviewing them for my book, Healing Happens. I discovered the actions that had the most impact are things we all can do:

• Reason to Live: Whether it is watching your grandkids grow up, your child walk down the aisle or finishing a soap opera series, focusing on your reason to move forward and be happy creates a stronger force than a disease.

• Don't Listen to Everything: With finding 200 stories of people healing beyond what the doctor's expected, you don't always have to believe your doctor's prognosis.

• Do What You Can Do: One simple act for your health that you love can affect how your whole body operates. For example, if you can't change your diet, meditate; the calmness it brings will shift the types of food you crave to match that state of inner peace.

• Ask, What Is the Gift? Often, disease becomes a signal to make a positive change like nourishing yourself, changing jobs and improving relationships.
