As we know, the mind can make us sick. Most diseases are born from our attitudes, our fears, doubts, reactions and reforms. The condition of different parts of the body is determined by the method and process of dealing with stress, tension, anxiety and anxiety. Again it is the mind that determines what diseases we will get and how long we will live. Of course, just as the mind can cause us disease and death, it can also be a means of healing, tranquility and good health.
Dr. Vernon Coleman has long researched the power of the mind. If we can learn to control our emotions and reactions, he says, the mind can act as a powerful force for the body, not against it. He says, by harnessing the power of the mind with a realistic and positive outlook, we can make our body tension-proof.
The following ten steps for maintaining good health and de-stressing the body by harnessing the power of the mind can be very effective.
1. Build confidence
If you lack confidence, you will gradually suffer from tension. If you do not have confidence in yourself, you will feel helpless in the face of the demands and expectations of others. And you will easily suffer from stress related diseases. To overcome self-doubt, one must believe more in one’s own strength. I am telling you a beautiful way. Imagine yourself sitting down with pen and paper as an advertising writer.
Think, you have a product and you have to sell this product to potential buyers. So think of all the good things you can say about yourself. And write all the qualities you have one by one. Exaggerate some of your qualities when writing the attributes, as all ads do. There is no need to revisit your well-known weaknesses. Read your list of qualities over and over again.
2. Learn to say ‘no’
Experience shows that those who are always trying to please others, care about what others think or not, suffer more stress. And those who give importance to their own wishes and dislikes have comparatively less tension. So there is no need to be cruel or rude. You just need to be more aware of your needs and wants and be clear about what you like.
Learn to be strong for yourself. Say ‘no’ politely when you really don’t want to do something. You will feel that saying ‘no’ has relieved you and your tension has decreased. And the one who said ‘no’ will also see that he took it easy. Never say what you don’t do. Because long-winded arguments will cause tension for you, as well as for the other party.
3. Set goals in life
To live we need something to hope for, something to achieve, something to look after or cherish. Without goals and objectives, your life will be empty. Purpose, goals and hope will help overcome all problems in life. Make a list of the hopes and dreams you had when you were young to set goals in life.
Imagine what hope and enthusiasm fueled you as a teenager. Now think about what dreams and hopes inspire you right now. You will feel that many of your hopes are now within your reach. If you want, you can achieve them if you put in the effort. And this new hope can become your goal in life.
4. Set priorities
If you can’t distinguish between real problems and trivial problems, if you can’t decide which tasks to do first and which to do later, and which are more important to you, you will suffer from stress. The burden of unnecessary anxiety will continue to grow.
If you do not consciously distinguish between serious problems and trivial problems, the mind will perceive all problems as serious problems. Moreover, if you worry about trivial things, you will lag behind in solving serious problems. However, prioritizing problems or tasks is not difficult.
You have to decide what is important to you. It is foolish to waste time on unimportant tasks. Prepare a list of things that are causing stress in your life. Then decide which of those things are really important. Only then will you see that mental stress has decreased.
5. Let the emotions flow
If you are repressed and want to keep everything to yourself, you need to learn to express your emotions. If you are sad and want to cry, cry, howl and cry. Researchers have found that the chemical composition of emotional tears is completely different from the chemical composition of tears caused by dust. Crying is an antianxiety and antidepressant. So if you want to cry, feel free to cry.
6. Release anger and rage
Anger and anger should be expressed. Because anger can cause physical, emotional, social and financial harm to you. Holding on to anger can hurt you. Anger is very normal in certain situations. If you are angry for any reason, express it. If you are angry, say, you are angry because of this, if you feel the need to express your anger through some physical activity, do so. Kick the football hard, slap a wall or two hard. Or turn off the bathroom faucet and talk loudly to reduce anger. Don’t keep the anger inside, express it in any way you can. Your internal tension will decrease.
7. Eliminate boredom
We think that busyness and anxiety cause stress. But dysfunction and boredom can also cause stress and anxiety. If you feel that life has become very boring then indulge yourself in some hobby activities. It can be a collection activity, as well as a service activity. Engaging in an activity that you love or something that benefits others will surely give you a sense of pride. And don’t be afraid to take risks sometimes. You can also sometimes take the risk of doing things that are likely to fail. It will remove boredom.
8. Smile several times a day
How laughter causes positive reactions in the human body is still a mystery. But laughter normalizes breath, improves circulation, lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of internal healing hormones. So create new opportunities to smile every day. So first, try to spend as much time as possible with smiling, happy and funny people. Secondly, read funny books, comics, cartoons. Also play pranks, sports and fun with children.
9. Associate compassion with life
Compassion and love are an all-pervading life-giving force. Women of any age can benefit from a warm friendly relationship. American insurance companies have found statistics that if a wife kisses her husband goodbye every morning before going to the office. The husband’s risk of accidents on the journey is greatly reduced and the husband’s life expectancy is five years longer on average.
When you have compassion or love for someone, you don’t need to hide your feelings. If you love someone, there is nothing wrong in telling them that. Say goodbye or give a smile while leaving the house. Never shy away from modest expressions of affection, compassion and love towards loved ones, friends or children.
10. Do meditation
Sitting in front of a TV or movie screen will not relax your body and mind. Even while sitting in front of the TV, the day’s problems and anxieties can wander through your mind. So relax the scientific process. Let imagination rule your mind and body. Close the door and lie down on a carpet or hard bed for half an hour. Allow the body to relax by taking long breaths.
Let your imagination wander to your happiest places or memories. Lose yourself in the natural scenery. Listen to the birds chirping. Smell the flowers. Lose yourself in the blue of the sky and the variety of green of the leaves. You will reach a deep level of relaxation. As the body and mind will become calm, autosuggestion can play a fruitful role for your psycho-physical development.
