One of these learning&#8217;s was, that there are many things in our lives we have no control over, we do have the choice of how we respond to those things.<\/p>\n<p>I worked with a client once who would get so mad at her\u00a0husband if he changed his plans after saying he was going to do something.\u00a0She couldn&#8217;t see that she did the same thing and allowed herself that flexibility.\u00a0She would take his changes as directed personally at her.\u00a0Her\u00a0anger and name calling only served to make her ill.\u00a0She said she didn&#8217;t like being ill.\u00a0It appeared from her actions that she liked feeling mad, right, and victimized.\u00a0Anger and similar emotions will make most anyone ill.<\/p>\n<p>Our glands secrete according to impulses from the emotional and nervous system. Anger, resentments, contention, hate, self-condemnation, animosity, and related nervous tensions in turn deplete bodily energies, block eliminations and generally create a condition which predisposes the system to disease. Attitudes and emotions involve nerves and glands.<\/p>\n<p>Here is some good news: Joyful thoughts create the opposite effect in our bodies.
