Emotions and Health

Emotions have a huge impact on our body and our body fights hard with its own chemical factors as well as with our psychological factors to solve any dis-ease that occurs.  Most of the cases, when the psychological factor is identified and solved, resetting of the chemical reaction becomes much easier.

 Whenever a “dis-ease” happens to our body, one of the major cause is an obstructed or incorrect thought patterns which happens inside us.  When it accumulates over a period of time, it leads to major issues.  If we can identify the incorrect thought pattern and correct it, the “dis-ease” which we face would move out of us and would help us to lead a healthy and happy life.

 Fortunately, a lot of people have done research in this field and have identified illness which are related to certain type of emotions and have suggested ways (both psychological and physiological) which could help in our body to heal itself.

 I have tried to put together information which I have gathered from various text to provide one consolidated list for some of the “dis-ease” which we face often in our daily life.

Below are some of the “dis-ease” we face, the emotions which are associated with that and affirmation which could help in faster healing.

Planning is important!

Plan - A very important aspect in day to day activities.

"Planning" does not always mean that it is related only to big tasks or tedious tasks, it is even for our day to day acts, just that since those actions are so small, the planning we do are even smaller and sometimes they are not even noticed by ourselves.

Any activity you do, you need to plan it properly.  Not all plans might lead to success, but it would surely give you a direction.  Even if you fail, you would know where you have gone wrong.  It is better to know your targets and how much you deviate from them, than to shoot in dark.
Things that might help you while planning -----

1.  Set smaller goals with a time frame, work on them with your usual speed, YOU ARE DEFINITE TO FAIL (Well, if you don’t, then you would not need any planning) and when you fail, analyze where you have gone wrong – This self analysis part is the first and foremost part and basis of your planning.

2.  Redefine your goals and targets now. 

3.  Review them at regular intervals, just to keep track that you are on right direction.

4.  Let the targets be simple/short term and reachable, this would give you immense confidence once you accomplish your targets, which in turn would boost you to set up targets which are challenging - Life would be boring if you end up meeting your targets regularly.

5.  Review the targets with everyone involved in the chain, if you feel it is not necessary for them to know about the plan in details, it is better to keep your mouth shut, because, sometime not everyone who knows the plan in detail would think alike.

6.  Always do your background work for the next stage while you are working in the current stage, this makes your tasks wee bit easier.

7.  When your plan fails, do a bit of analysis on where you went wrong. NO BLAME GAMES PLEASE.  Damage is already done; all you could do is learn your lesson and get ready for the next challenge, after all life is a learning curve.

8.  Make sure your plan is flexible and does not depend on any "variable factors" then you are sure to run into problems.

Always have an alternate plan in place in case of any unexpected event.
