The Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has said that a positive and sound mind empowers the body with extraordinary energy and nourishment for optimal health.
Soludo, who is the founder of the Healthy Living Initiative, made the assertion in a message to mark the International Mind-Body Wellness Day, observed annually on January 3.
The International Mind-Body Wellness Day is celebrated to create awareness about the strong connection between mental wellbeing and physical health.
She said true self-development could not be achieved when the mind and body were not in harmony.
“Mind and body wellness largely determines how far individuals can go and how well they can succeed in their healthy living journey.
“I urge Nigerians to be intentional about building a mindset that aligns with their physical wellbeing, especially as they pursue self-improvement goals in the New Year.
“Feed your minds with positivity, love, peace, contentment and consistency. These virtues are essential for good health and a clearer sense of purpose,” she said.
The governor’s wife called on Nigerians to adopt a balanced approach to healthy living by nurturing both the mind and the body.
According to her, the two are inseparable and must work in harmony for individuals to attain optimal health and fulfillment.
She further urged Nigerians to use the occasion of the International Mind-Body Wellness Day to reflect on their lifestyle choices and recommit to holistic wellbeing.
