The impact of emotional well-being on our physical health is often neglected or poorly understood. Happy moods elevate energy levels in the body. It also boosts ‘Good Hormones’ in the body, which provide support in the treatment of ongoing (if any) physical ailments. It indicates that our mind and body connection is very strong.
Needless to say, physical and emotional health are correlated. For instance, if a person doesn’t feel well (due to his/her home/work/social circumstances), he/she might tend to demonstrate physical symptoms.
These physical symptoms caused by psychological distress/disorders are known as psychosomatic disorders. Some of the common symptoms include disturbed sleep, increased/decreased appetite, body aches, breathlessness, racing heartbeat, shivering, tiredness, etc.
Similarly, when an individual is suffering from physical disorders, he/she also witnesses low productivity, irritability, change in talking patterns, feeling low, aggression, stubbornness, hair loss, weight gain/loss, impatience, overthinking, memory issues, unable to perceive things in a usual way, etc.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) asserts that there are several physical signs indicating stress and anxiety in your body. These include headaches, neck & shoulder pain, back pain, upset stomach, not feeling hungry, lump in the throat, heavy chest, and tight muscles.
A healthy balance between mind & body is essential for a happy and smooth life.
Self-care regimes should be carefully and consistently followed as a top priority ritual for mind & body wellness. Atone with that; one must consult a professional for a better overlook.
