Last week we wrote about the idea that living a healthy life requires a healthy mind. But training your mind in positivity is not something that we can achieve overnight. As many things in life, there are no shortcuts…..we have to work on it. Sometimes a little inspiration can help infuse a desire in us to take those necessary steps. Here we have selected a collection of our top 20 favourite quotes that help to inspire in us good health, attitude, diet, mind and soul.
