One way to quicker recovery

I found something that really works to make ourselves feel better when feeling ill. We need to love more. This really works. When we are not feeling well usually it is easy to fall into feelings of self pity, or self indulgence or grumpiness and not think much about being loving toward others because we feel we need love and help.

And yes, we do need love and compassion and help when we are not feeling well, but the way I’ve found to get that is to be — think and act — based on who we really are. In my study of Christian Science I’ve learned that my true identity is a child of God — translated this means I’m spiritual, immortal, the expression or reflection of Love. I reasoned that if that’s true, then if I act like it I will feel the real self coming through.

That real spiritual self is healthy. How we think about ourselves has everything to do with how we feel. So if we stay in a mental attitude of thinking of ourselves as an unhealthy mortal, separated from God then we will feel the effects of that. If we think of ourselves as the healthy, spiritual expression of Love and act out from that standpoint in our thought and speech and actions, even when we are ill, we will find a much quicker recovery.
