How stress can affect you 🌻

👉When you’re stressed or anxious, your body reacts as if it is under attack. Your body goes into the “fight-or-flight” response, and releases hormones to speed your heart rate and breathing, increase blood pressure, and make your muscles tense.

👉This stress reaction is good if you need to avoid danger. But if you constantly feel stressed, your body’s natural fight-or-flight response lasts too long, and your blood pressure may stay high. This is bad for your heart and body. Stress can also affect your emotions. It can make you feel moody, tense, upset, depressed and even hopeless.

👉But when you are able to relax your mind and body, your body stops producing high levels of the stress hormones. The fight-or-flight response can decrease, and you return to a state of calm, both physically and mentally.

👉That’s how your mind and body work together, and why mindfully nurturing their connection can support your health and well-being.

How thoughts and feelings can affect your health 🌻

Your brain produces chemicals that can improve your health, such as endorphins, which are natural painkillers, and gamma globulin, which strengthens your immune system.

Research shows what your brain produces depends in part on your thoughts, feelings and expectations. For example, if you’re ill, but you have hope and a positive attitude and you believe that you’ll get better, your brain is likely to produce chemicals that will boost your body’s healing power. On the flipside, negative thoughts and emotions can keep your brain from producing some of the chemicals that help your body heal, and also can increase stress hormones, like cortisol. Exposing your body to stress hormones over long periods of time can be bad for your health.

This doesn’t mean you should blame yourself for getting sick or feeling down about a health problem. Some illnesses are beyond your control. It just means your thoughts and state of mind are helpful resources you can use.

What is the mind-body connection? And why is it so important? 🌻

👉Your mind and body are powerful partners. How you think can affect how you feel. And how you feel can affect your thinking.

👉An example of this mind-body connection is how your body responds to stress. Constant worry and stress over jobs, finances, relationships or other problems can cause tense muscles, pain, headaches and stomach problems. It may also lead to high blood pressure or other serious problems.

👉On the other hand, constant pain or a health problem like heart disease can affect your emotions. You might become depressed, anxious and stressed, which could affect how well you manage or cope with your illness.

👉But your mind can have a positive effect on your health, too. Having a positive outlook and letting anxious or negative thoughts go, may help you stay healthier overall. Having hope and finding healthier ways to cope with health challenges can be empowering and improve the body’s physical sensations.
