Recharge Your Life! with Dr. Sue

This month: Watch for Miracles

Having more energy is important not only to make you feel better, but also to keep you healthier. Studies have shown that "recharging" -- whether through prayer, meditation, focused breathing, positive thinking, hobbies or other things that give us energy -- can promote faster healing, increased mental acuity, better emotional well-being and greater productivity.

Research also shows that stress -- which depletes our energy -- may increase our risk for many health problems, especially cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune illnesses. On the other hand, positive emotional energy can increase longevity and strengthen our resistance to unexpected distress.

Here is a simple way to get more energy starting today.

Watch for Miracles

Feeling down, we often forget to look up. Then the more we ignore wonders large and small, the lower we feel. And yet, it is nearly impossible to catch a glimpse of a newborn child, a goldfinch feeding on thistle, or a bright red sun in the sky and not feel part of something magnificent?

What miracles of nature have you witnessed already today? A sunrise, a bird in flight, or leaves turning crimson?

What miracles of the heart have you observed? Someone forgiving you, a helping hand from a friend, or kindness from a stranger?

What miracles of health have you seen recently? A spontaneous remission of a disease, a speedy recovery after an injury, or a newfound strength?

What “miracle” would you like to see in your life? Believe it. Watch for it.
