I love Serge Bloch’s illustration for this New York Time’s article from Feb.1. The article, by Tara Parker-Pope, was entitled The Real Body Language. It was all about how our body listens to our mind, whether we know it or not.

So when you say, “Oh, my back is killing me,” you are sending your back a pretty terrible message. It’s confirmation that thinking positively can have a beneficial effect on your well-being. So why not send your body some healthy energy and repeat every night before falling asleep, “My body will wake up tomorrow feeling great!”
