The relationship between mental and physical health is very obvious when looking at people who suffer from depression. A vital question is whether the person's thoughts are causing the physical depression or the physical depression is creating the negative thinking. In order for psychological therapies to be most effective, they need to focus on both the conscious and unconscious minds. From time to time, it may simply need some sort of rational thinking to put a situation into perspectivebecause a lot of the things we are concerned about never turn out to be as bad as imagined. Most of our deepest beliefs and habits are controlled by our subconscious mind, and changing these calls for more than rational thinking. Hypnosis is a better means of altering the unconscious mind, and the results will last a lot longer.
Among the most persuasive contentions for the effect of our thoughts on our physical health is what is referred to as "the placebo effect." The placebo effect refers to the phenomenon of a sugar pill creating a healing effect in a test subject because the subject is told the placebo is really a medicine. The belief in the power of the placebo demonstrates how the mind affects the body, and this power can be utilized to help men and women recuperate from sicknesses faster. You can also direct the power of your mind to aid you in attaining your fitness goals. A well-known example of the influence of belief on physical performance happened back in 1954 when Roger Bannister ran a mile in less than four minutes, breaking the "four minute mile" barrier. As soon as the "barrier" had been broken, other runners also started to break through what had truly been a barrier of belief.
Let's look at one more example of how positive thinking can affect the process of aging. Some people focus their thoughts, and their conversations, on what they believe to be the unavoidable results of growing older: pains and limitations. It turns out there's much truth to the adage, "You're only as old as you think you are," and our thoughts can be used to undo a lot of the so-called effects of aging. People who have a habitually negative mentality will not believe it's possible to improve their attitudes, and their health, as they get older.
Now that you know your attitude can bring you better health, it's up to you to take advantage of this information and set your intention to think positive thoughts whenever you remember.
