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.

Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?

Five things are happening in your house at the same time.  In which sequence would you solve them?

 

a.       The telephone is ringing

b.      The baby is crying

c.       Someone is knocking or calling you from the front door

d.      You hung the cloths out to dry and it is beginning to rain

e.      You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing

 

Certain questions have no right answers, but they give us more details about the person who answers them, thus making the question more serious and making you to put more thoughts into your answers.

 

In the above question, it would seem as though there are more than 1 event that is happening at the same time in your house and what is the sequence in which you would solve them.  This answer would reveal your order of priority to the things you would want to attend or you are comfortable to solve immediately.

 

Though this answer gives you more information than you reveal, it will be a complete foolishness to decide who you are as a person, based on these answers.  The answers would tell your order of priority at this given time and probably most of the times – but never mean that this would be the same order every time.

 

Below is how I would deal with this and it reasoning.

 

e.            You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing

- Save your natural resources.  One small step would help you save for future.

b.            The baby is crying

- You might not know why the baby is crying.  Attend the baby first to make sure that there is nothing serious about why the baby is crying before proceeding to other items.

a.            The telephone is ringing

This probably takes priority when mobile phone was not invented as you might not know who would have called you unless you pick the phone.  Pick the phone, get the details and inform to call back and get to the next on the list.

 

c.             Someone is knocking or calling you from the front door

d.            You hung the cloths out to dry and it is beginning to rain

 - These two items are last on the list.  As once you come out of the house, you can attend both of them.  The guy at the door will not walk away since he knows someone is home and would attend him sooner than later.  Cloths would always dry once you get them back to dryer again.

 

The above answers just show that would be the sequences to attend the items at that given time and may not be necessary every time.

Makepoint

What is makepoint?

I do not know if there is any word that has already been coined as “makepoint”.  I thought I would do one, if it isn’t already; would also give my own definition though for this.

DEFINITION: - The point wherein your desires/wishes get so strong that you are almost compelled to decide that you want to go ahead with what you desired/wished.

This is just the opposite to breakpoint.
