Negative Thoughts And Emotions Harm Our Bodies

Have you ever stopped to think about how thoughts and feelings can affect your health and body?  Most of the time, we are not aware of the effects our thoughts can have on our bodies and our health. Sometimes we suffer from stress, tension, depression, hurry, and other negative emotions and conditions without even thinking about them affecting us mentally and physically, deteriorating our quality of life.

The connection between mind and body is much stronger than we imagine. Thoughts and emotions stimulate the production of certain chemicals that affect our physical and mental health. For example, serotonin and dopamine are chemicals that our brains release when we are happy or euphoric. A similar process occurs with negative emotions. Instead of doing good to our bodies, it  causes pain and other ailments that prevent us from strength well.

The brain has the ability to store important and crucial information about behavior and its relationship to the body. Many experts believe that we have the ability to see the pros and cons in all situations. This is because we are responsible for providing situations with both positive and negative content.

How thoughts and feelings affect our bodies

Our emotional states can cause physical ailments that potentially indicate that we are going through difficult times where negative thoughts and emotions have taken over. For example, chronic neck pain can indicate an inability to see things from different perspectives.

Unexplained pelvic pain can be a sign that we have given power to fear  and are unable to make important decisions.

Pain in the upper back is associated with heartache.  Middle back pain is associated with an inability to get away from the past. Lower back pain, in turn, is associated with financial stress.

When there is pain in the knees, it may indicate fear, pride, and an inability to control the ego.

When we are in a situation that makes us angry, a biochemical reaction takes place in the body that raises adrenaline levels and brings us to experience the experience over and over again.

Grief can greatly affect our energy levels and motivation. Grief causes a feeling of weakness, excessive fatigue and low energy levels.

How do I fight negative thoughts and feelings?

Even as we experience moments full of happiness, our strength and ability to control our emotions are tested in difficult situations. In order to cope with the negative thoughts and feelings that may come up in any life situation, it is important to think positively, no matter how difficult or insurmountable it may seem.

Every morning when we wake up, it is important to prepare our body and mind for the new day and its challenges. This is how we stay healthy and happy. Our mind is amazingly efficient and can perform many tasks easily. It is important to give it a good dose of positivity. Try to see the brighter side of things, even if you’re going through a relatively difficult experience.

When negative thoughts and feelings are trying to get the upper hand over our lives and health, it is very important to meditate and think for a few minutes if it is really worth it to waste time and energy on it. It is possible that after this exercise, instead of complaining and letting your emotions control you, you want to change your life and look for solutions so that negativity does not rob you of your quality of life.

It has been scientifically proven that positivity and good emotions like joy and happiness release hormones that strengthen the immune system. Similarly, it has been found that negative emotions have the opposite effect. Negative thoughts and emotions weaken the immune system, making our bodies more susceptible to disease.

Positivity, good thoughts and feelings are questions of choice. A good dose of positivity is worth it; it improves our physical and mental health in many ways.
