We all know people who keep everything and rarely show their emotions, maybe we do it ourselves from time to time. The problem is that when negative emotions are not expressed, that resentment or discomfort accumulates and, at some point, sooner or later, will be reflected in our health.
Our mood directly affects our fitness. Therefore, understanding how to manage our emotions when we have a more serious illness can give us some inner stability that will result in greater chances of recovery.
- We can identify certain harmful emotions: excessive joy.
- Anger.
- Fear.
- Anxiety.
- Melancholy.
- Sadness and authoritarianism.
- Over time.
- The extremes of these emotions damage our body.
If the person experiences internal conflicts, concerns, or emotional situations that cannot be resolved, some particular organs may begin to express some negative consequences.
? Excess anger damages the liver
? Excessive fear damages the kidneys and bladder.
? Excessive joy, hyperexcation, damages the heart and small intestine.
? Excessive sadness damages the lungs
? Excess anxiety damages the stomach, spleen and pancreas.
? An excess of dominance and authority over or other imbalances of the large intestine.
Therefore, if one of the main organs is weak, the person will tend to feel the emotion associated with it. For example, if your spleen is weak, you may become a very sad person. Alcoholics and addicts with damaged liver can be people who express great anger. People with weak kidneys tend to be more shy, nervous, and fearful.
We are all exposed to extreme emotions because life exposes us to a wide variety of intense emotions. People are dying and we’re sad. The attitudes of others overwhelm us and certain situations sometimes frighten us.
When it comes to controlling emotions, some activities can be very useful for relaxing the body and mind, such as meditation, breathing exercises, Tai Chi Chuan and yoga, for example. Acupuncture can also do a lot to calm emotions. Floral elixirs (available in health food stores) and homeopathy are also excellent resources to help modify rigid or blocked internal patterns.
Changes don’t happen overnight, but with time and effort, you can become a more peaceful person and, as a result, you’ll find your health is improving. Negative thoughts and emotions trigger stress response and damage the immune system. , on the other hand, relieves stress and stimulates defenses. By learning to understand and control your emotions and thoughts, you will have greater control over your own life and will certainly thank you for your health.
Of course, if you feel that a particular situation is becoming serious and you cannot deal with it alone, be sure to make an appointment with a psychotherapist, who will advise you accordingly.
Finally, do you think any of the emotions you feel can hurt you, why not make changes?Why not look for activities that help us seek more serenity and inner peace?Remember that it’s about feeling the benefits of a change in your life for yourself. You have nothing to lose and potentially you have a lot to gain.
