About This Quote
When you have a better perspective of everything you will be a happier person. The idea of keeping a distance from your body is to have a better perspective of it. You will not be so attached to the way it looks if you don’t see it all the time. The same concept can be applied to your mind.
If you are not constantly thinking about it, then you will not be constantly reminded about the things that are bothering you. In short, when there is distance between what bothers you and what occupies your thoughts, your mind will be free to think about things in a more positive manner.
