A HEALTHY MIND IN A HEALTHY BODY
Our project with 6 part-
ners from different countries
such as CZECH REPUBLIC,
LATVIA,
LITHU-
NIA,ROMANIA and TÜ-
RKİYE are aiming at raising
awareness and lessening
the physical and psychologi-
cal problems of people be-
cause of unhealthy life.
The sentence "An active
life and healthy diet provide
the basis of
health."
used in the
campaigns
of
our
Health Min-
istery has
been our
starting
point. Actu-
ally all the
problems
that
we
have
are
directly re-
lated to our
minds. It is
stated by
most of the
psychologists that some
emotions can deeply harm
us. For example Dr. Arthur
Barsky writes : “We ‘burn’
with anger, ‘tremble’ with
fear, feel ‘choked up’ with
sadness; our ‘stomachs turn’
with revulsion. Everyone
tends to experience unpleas-
ant emotions as unpleasant
bodily symptoms and thus to
feel physically distressed
when
emotionally
dis-
tressed.” "A HEALTHY
BODY CAN LEAD YOU TO
A HEALTHY MIND – AND
A MUCH HAPPIER LIFE."
For this reason, we used
this title for our project : " A
HEALTHY MIND IN A
HEALTHY BODY". We be-
lieve that we have the pow-
er to change negative
thoughts and feelings into
positive, rational, motivat-
ing thoughts, and in doing
so, help create a healthy
mind in a healthy body.
OUR
