Sometimes, I just feel bad.

Bad about myself, or life, or my situation.

I can figure out why, for example, it’s because of hormones. But giving it a name doesn’t get rid of the bad feeling.

Science and religion both discuss the value of positive thinking and it has proven to be a good start in getting rid of bad feelings.

Working with attitudes also pushes me to realize that substance really is mind. Not the human mind, that’s only temporal, but divine Mind, God. And, many prophets have shown the value of having the Mind of God, Love. I too have felt one with Mind and the bad feelings dissolve.

From 21st Century Science and Health, “The Christian Scientist, understanding that all is Mind, commences with mental causation, the truth of being, to destroy the error. This remedy has the power to correct positively, reaching to every part of the human system. According to Scripture, it searches the “joints and marrow,”[1] and restores the healthy functions of the body.

[1] Heb. 4:12
