Research has proven that diet and exercise are not the only things that contribute to being healthy.
Being healthy and feeling that way are the same but consist of many different variables.
There is a mind and body connection that studies show is irrefutable, that being that what we think and the emotions we feel contribute greatly to our happiness and feeling good in general.
What do we do when we are faced with change? How about all the challenged we face everyday? What do we tell ourselves and how do out emotions effect out attitudes and out health.
We all are faced with change and challenges and everything starts out in your mind.
How do we react to these circumstances, what do we think about them? When we are thinking we are actually listening to ourselves, as an observer.
There are times when we need to talk to our self and change what we are thinking.
The way we think will determine the emotions we will show, and how we deal with the daily struggles.
Another important factor in the way we feel is determined by the support we get.
A support system that is there to listen and share our experiences with is something we can not do without.
If we do not socialize with others often, we run the risk of loneliness or depression, and they make it even harder to develop our social skills.
Socializing with family, friends, or neighbors will help us to avoid the feelings that accompany being lonely or depressed.
Having a connection with our spiritual side will also help us.
To have hope and faith makes such a huge difference in dealing with major obstacles that cross our path and the normal daily stress of life that have a way of adding up quickly.
Being able to take our concerns in prayer is a wonderful way to let those small worries and daily stress be given over to God.
You get a sense of relief and peace as you let go of the troubles.
