I was just reading an article in one of my magazines, Pathways to family wellness, about how research tells us that everything we do - before, during, and after childbirth - shapes our children in critical, life-altering ways. And I stumbled across this interesting piece of info and wanted to share (i am quoting this directly from the article):
Author and teacher Laura Huxley offers this practical suggestion in her book, The Child of Your Dreams: "If you can take even five minutes a day to think good thoughts, listen to your favorite music, or nourish yourself in any way you want, your kindness will be multiplied a thousandfold and become an organic part of a person's being for years to come. Five minutes of care is worth years of well-being." U.C. Berkeley biology professor Marian Diamond points out that the Japanese have said this for more than 2,000 years, with the phrase "Tykio" meaning "think pleasant thoughts."
This picture is awesome; you can tell how happy she is.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be sure to take at least 5 minutes each day to be positive! Thanks for the info.
Ha. I just commented on Claud's blog and told her to "think positive thoughts."
