How To Enhance Your Life - Dean Amory

As a result of these attacks the blueprint, or design, from which new cells are made becomes
slightly distorted. So the new cells develop to be slightly different to the original design for the
body.
In effect then the new body is alien to the original DNA blueprint. So ageing occurs when the body
begins to live according to a different design to that which is natural for it.
In the short term, we become sick when something alien to us, such as a disease, invades our body.
Many of the symptoms of a disease are the side effects of our body working to protect us.
For example, we experience a temperature as our immune system mobilizes to attack the invader.
The temperature is not caused by the disease, but by our body’s reaction to the disease.
Happiness is the emotional aspect of health.
We become unhappy when we take on something that is alien to us.
When we say something, or act in a way, that is not really true to us we become unhappy. We
experience unhappiness in a number of ways. Sometimes it is anger or frustration, other times it is
anxiety.
All are the emotional equivalent of a disease or illness.
Our emotions are not caused by events that happen to us, but by our reaction to the events
that happen to us.
Our happiness and emotional health comes under attack whenever we think, speak or act
something that is not really true to our natural design. Just as with our physical health, we are
continually attacked by many ‘invading aliens’. These include;
The pressure to conform to Society’s, groups and organizational rules.
Expectations of ourselves, and others, to live up to certain standards.
Fitting into pre-designed roles, which restrict, confine and limit our expression of our true
individuality.
My definition of happiness is a natural outcome of being yourself. It is having complete integrity.
Everything that you think, matches with what you say, which matches with what you do.
