Align Your Mind with Your Health
Every year there is more research showing that Adverse Childhood Events, called ACEs, correlate with rates of diseases later in life. This is an extra incentive to get help for childhood traumas even if you think you have them handled. You have resources now that you didn’t have when the trauma happened. Using A.R.T., insertlink you can finally take care of yourself in ways that were not available to you when you were a child.
Another influence on our health is stress, specifically, negative stress. Life is just hard sometimes. Psychologists study and can teach us how we can let the stress go. We can learn to breathe better and do what needs to be done without the extra toll on our bodies.
We don’t control everything! The reality is that each of us, eventually, will die. And other people will die. We spend a lot of bodily energy not accepting this lack of control. Have you ever gone bowling, thrown the ball, and then twisted and turned your body as if you could keep it from going into the gutter? We stress our bodies trying to control things that are not in our power to control. We can only do our best. We can influence events but not control them.
If you are receiving treatment for a health problem, consider how your mind might aid your recovery. There may be habits that need to change, something you need to let go of, or to give yourself. A.R.T. can be helpful in easing your way through this change.
Unlike most medicines, there are no bad side effects from aligning your mind with the health of your body. Call to schedule a free consultation.
