  1. Health • Your body responds to the way you think, feel, and act. This is one type of “mind/body connection.” When you are stressed, anxious, or upset, your body reacts in a way that might tell you that something isn’t right. For example, you might develop high blood pressure or a stomach ulcer after a particularly stressful event, such as the death of a loved one. • Path to improved health • There are ways that you can improve your emotional health. First, try to recognize your emotions and understand why you are having them. Sorting out the causes of sadness, stress, and anxiety in your life can help you manage your emotional health. Following are some other helpful tips. • https://familydoctor.org/mindbody-connection-how-your-emotions-affect-your-health/

  2. Health • Live a balanced life • Focus on the things that you are grateful for in your life. Try not to obsess about the problems at work, school, or home that lead to negative feelings. This doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be happy when you feel stressed, anxious, or upset. It’s important to deal with these negative feelings, but try to focus on the positive things in your life, too. You may want to use a journal to keep track of things that make you feel happy or peaceful. Some research has shown that having a positive outlook can improve your quality of life and give your health a boost. You may also need to find ways to let go of some things in your life that make you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Make time for things you enjoy.

  3. Religion • The mind cannot exist independently of the body; the body, however long and pointlessly modern medical technology can prolong its existence in the absence of a functioning brain, cannot exist independently of the mind. • https://www.onfaith.co/onfaith/2008/06/10/the-mindbody-connection/5171

  4. Psychological • The mind and body are closely linked, and their relationship can exert a positive influence on health and quality of life. Attitudes, beliefs and emotional states ranging from love and compassion to fear and anger can trigger chain reactions that affect blood chemistry, heart rate and the activity of every cell and organ in the body — from the stomach and digestive tract to the immune system. Emotions can also affect your body's reaction to stresses and strains, which can cause head and backaches and other physical problems. • We can help ourselves stay healthy by paying attention to our emotional and mental states — including our worries, outlook and moods. http://www.michiganpsychologicalassociation.org/mindbody_health_connection.php

  5. Sickness • Psychologists use the mind-body connection to work closely with other health care providers to assess the lifestyles, attitudes and family support of those who do become ill. They can help us understand the nature and treatment of our illness and create a plan to help maximize psychological well-being. • http://www.michiganpsychologicalassociation.org/mindbody_health_connection.php
