Journal Response

This is an excerpt from a journal response to the following prompt:
What do you think was meant by this statement "The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years." ~Deepak Chopra.


by Devonte M.

If you eat healthily, then you will live for 30 to 50 years more than expected. Your life span will increase by 30 to 50 years. However, if you don't eat healthily, then your life span will decrease by 30 to 50 years. The way you eat is influenced by the way you think. If you have a contaminated mindset, then you will fall into the temptation of bad eating. If the way you behave is out of line, then you will eat more than what your body can physically contain. Therefore, this will cause your life to go down the drain at a faster rate. If you don't maintain a healthy mind or behavior, then it will be hard for you to maintain a healthy body. If you don't maintain a healthy body, then you won't be able to maintain a healthy spirit. Everything is connected in life and in the universe. If one thing goes wrong, then everything else will go wrong with it. If you're not mentally training yourself to live healthily and positively, then you will self-destruct. So, keep your wellness up.
