How Your Mind Can Impact Your Health
What effect can our mind have upon our body and our response to
adversity? When you face adversity of any kind you must do everything
possible to tune in your mind to what is going on within your emotions
and your thoughts. Know what you are doing with your fear, your anger, and your pain.
Remove yourself from the merry-go-round of self-destruction so often
found in adversity. Remove yourself by stepping back from where you are
and viewing what you are doing, how you are doing it, and why you are
doing it. When you are in adversity, do away with your negative mind and
negative emotions. The more negative mental and emotional energy you produce, the
greater the negative impact the adversity will have on your physical
body. Psychosomatic illness is a result of the mind and spirit causing
illness. If the mind creates health problems, the mind and spirit can
also create health solutions. The word "psychosomatic" is
derived from the Greek words "Psyche" and "Soma"
which mean mind (or soul) and body. The word refers to both the positive
and negative aspects of the connection between our mind and our body. If
you imagine you have an illness, or you believe you have an illness,
your imagination and belief can produce the symptoms of the illness. If
there is such a thing as psychosomatic illness, there can also be
psychosomatic wellness.
Your mind can make you well or make you sick. Your mind can also
control your physical pain by concentrating your mental images upon
other sensations other than pain.
Your mind can help you live longer. For example, the survival rate
among breast cancer patients who were members of a support group was
twice that of non-participants.
The more you resist and doubt in your mind, the greater the pain and
destruction when adversity falls upon you.
