Strengthen Your Connection Between Body and Mind
| Our emotions, thoughts, and attitudes impact our physical health in far-reaching ways. Research shows that our mental state, whether anxious, joyful, frightened, or excited, can influence how the body functions. For example, studies have found that stress can weaken the white blood cell response to diseased or infected cells. Other instances include feeling queasy before a big speech, getting shaky during a heated argument, or experiencing a rush of bliss after a workout. The better you understand the relationship between mind and body, the better you can control how you respond to different situations. This week, Healthy Monday Refresh is sharing their Strengthen the Mind-Body Connection Package. This 13-week series demonstrates how to use different physical and mental relaxation techniques to stay calm and in control. From self-massage to bed yoga to tai chi, these low-impact therapeutic movements can help address stress-related issues and bring you greater clarity and peace. This week, nurture your body to help satisfy your soul. |
