an excerpt from The Slow Down Diet, by Marc David
It only takes a moment for metabolism to rearrange itself in response to our story. Recall a time when you were feeling low energy or low metabolism and an unexpected visitor or phone call instantly lifted your spirits. That person or message had a certain meaning for you, put a positive and inspiring spin on your story of the moment, which in turn spun your subatomic particles in just the right way to activate your inner feel-good pharmacy. We can invoke this same matabolic magic by rewriting our stories in any given moment and bringing the happy ending we've always hoped for into present time.
