Читать книгу The Health Optimist - Hanlie Combrinck - Страница 5

My healthy-mind journey started twenty years ago, when I had a health scare at the age of twenty-five. I realized then that our health can affect the course of our life, and even our potential income. Years later, after a relapse, I made a conscious decision to choose the positive and see whether the choice to live optimistically could make a difference to me. As part of the journey I started The Health Optimist Blog at the end of 2010, to share my progress and hopefully help others. I’ve been in excellent health now for eight years.

In the blog, at www.healthoptimist.org, I chronicle experiences, recipes and strategies that I developed as a working mom and wellness enthusiast. As my mantra , I took a phrase from the well-known University of Kentucky psychology professor, Suzanne Segerstrom: “Optimism is something you do.” It resonates with many readers and subscribers. This book is a compilation of the weblog in a handy form, available as an e-book as well as paperback, through world-wide distribution. Purchasing options can be found at www.healthoptimist.org/book. You may also follow me on Twitter: @HealthOptimist. I hope my quest inspires you to make the choice for positive health.
