Can inspirational reading lead to better health?
by Try to make a point to read from an inspirational book every now and then. I guess they're not for everyone, but over the years, inspirational books have gotten me through some pretty tough times.
I have always thought that a big part of better health is better mental health. When we feel good emotionally, we usually feel better physically. For me, better mental health can be as simple as reading an inspirational quote, aspiration, or meditation.
Here is a site I like with Louise Hay's Wisdom Cards. I also like... The Woman's Book of Courage.
What about you? What are some of your favorite inspirational books?

Completely Agree with You
I think you're right on the mark with your point about feeling good mentally and emotionally.
For me I'll read good books, play music that lifts my spirits and talk with girlfriends who are positive.
I read a beautiful book called "Miss Garnet's Angel" by Salley Vickers that lifted my spirits when I was grieving for a lost one. The Dalai Lama's book on Living and Dying is also very useful. I just delved into as I needed to and always landed on a section that I needed.
I also have The Secret to help shift those negative thought and self talk patterns.
We each have the choice to choose how we deal with life, even if we don't always feel like we get to choose the situation.
All the best,
Belinda
Great Earring Holders for Christmas Gifts - great presents and no more messy jewelry tangles!
I agree
Simple Abundance by Sara Ban Breathnach and Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life by Dr. Wayne Dyer are two favorites of mine. Both are made up of short essays. I keep them by my bed and read an essay before I get going in the morning. Different books speak to different moods for me but inspirational books are a great help!

Agreed
I completely agree with you. For me The Alchemist from Paulo Coelho started it all. It opened new doors that I couldn't see before. It lead to re-energization and of course better health. Although I have to say that sometimes I got into higher vibrations (I don't know exactly how to describe it) and fell hard.
Nonetheless an inspirational book always lifts you up!
