5 Ways to Heal Your Body by Using the Power of Your Mind, Backed by Science
There's a clear connection between the way your mind thinks and the way your body feels. Just like you can use your body to reduce your psychological stress, you can also use your mind to improve your body.
Simply changing the way you think and taking charge of what occupies your mind most of the time, can improve your physical health and well-being. While positive thinking won't cure everything, a healthy mindset is a key component to a healthy body.
Here are five ways you can use your mind to promote physical health:
1. Make Your Treatments More Effective By Expecting Them to Work
Countless studies show the placebo effect influences the effectiveness of treatment. If someone tells you a pill will cure your headache, you're likely to find the treatment helpful--even if the pill was a sugar pill.
2. Sleep Better By Writing in a Gratitude Journal
If you're struggling with insomnia, a gratitude journal might be the best cure. Several studies have linked gratitude to better quality and longer lasting sleep. You need sleep to release GROWTH HORMONE ….you MAIN #1 healing chemical.
3. Live Longer By Focusing On Your Purpose in Life
Whether your work gives you a purpose, or you find meaning as a volunteer, make sure whatever you're doing matters. Feeling like you have a reason to get out of bed every day might be the secret to longevity.
4. Be Optimistic and Boost Your Immunity
Several studies have shown that optimistic people are less likely to get sick. For decades, many researchers thought the boost in immunity stemmed from the fact that optimistic people were more likely to take care of their health.
