Having a totally directed mind is an important part of having a healthy, energised body.  Being comfortable, relaxed, directed, motivated and confident plays a huge part in maximising your energy and knowing what to do with that energy to create consistent success.

There are three basic components to having a directed mind:

1. Relaxation/ Stress Control
2. Creative and Achievable Goals and Aims
3. Strong and Enjoyable Relationships

How does having a directed mind effect your health?  Many people do not realise this, but the mind is hugely influential in the state of your health.  It effects everything from the your energy levels to your immune system.

Dr Weil among many others have researched the link between the mind and our physical health.  His research at Harvard University has found that external matters are not the cause of disease, rather that they are agents who are waiting to cause specific symptoms within susceptible bodies.  Accordingly, the more vulnerable we are (though poor diet, nutrition, exercise and stress/worry), the more susceptible we become. 

This makes perfect sense - consider the times when there is a bug 'doing the rounds' - if you are under high levels of stress, working too hard, under pressure or worrying do you think there is more chance that you will come down with the bug?  Of course there is - this doesn't mean that the bug was suddenly stronger, but that it found a susceptible host. 

On the ten day challenge there are seven points to consider in having a directed and focussed mind:

1. The mind has a tremendous power over the body - the two should not be considered in isolation
2. Anger and resentment are poisonous to the body!
3. Stress is a result of how you interpret situations and the associations that you have to specific situations
4. Fear and stress compromise your immune system!
5. Stress disappears in a state of certainty - it is essential to develop empowering beliefs that let you know that there is always a way if you are committed.
6. Physiology plays a major part in how we feel mentally.  If we behave physically as if we are vibrant, happy and directed we will be so.  Emotion is created by motion!
7. Stress and upset disappears if we have a compelling future.  Set goals, review your goals and reward yourself for moving forward.

The final part of this is to develop three empowering questions and answers that will put you in a positive, vibrant state at any time!
