For most people, every time they are sick, every time bad experience comes, the mind resists.
Anger exaggerates the experience and the mind begins to think of bad things – the mind becomes more upset and the body becomes more painful.
If you try to be mindful, the mind cannot think of negative things. That’s why the mind settles down as the awareness becomes better and better.
The mind quality gets better – physical condition may not be better but the mind quality improves because of right attitude and awareness.
So, try to think how to practice (cause) and practice (effect and then cause); then, the mind cannot think of negative things (effect).
