Ode to Emile

Emile Coue a prominent French Physician in the 19th Century discovered that if he praised a medication or treatment, his patients were more likely to be healed or have a better recovery. This power of suggestion went on the form the basis of his practice and enabled him to become one of the progenitors of the era of Mind Body Medicine. If patients believed that they would get better--in the vast majority of cases they did. Coue's famous mantra was "Tous les jours, a tous points de vue, je vais de mieux en mieux~"Every day in every way I am getting better and better." The Coue Method, as it came to be known was practiced as a form of self-hypnosis and patients were able to see a remarkable improvement in health, attitude, and optimism. It stands to reason if you think you will have a bad day, you do and if you think it will be a great day, it will--it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being able to remain positive even in the midst of serious illness or personal crisis will no doubt enable you to survive under the harshest of conditions and predictions. Remind yourself no matter where you are now or what has happened thus far to HAVE A GREAT AND AWESOME DAY!!

Be well...
