The body cannot discern between imaginary stress and real life stress. Whether the stress is real or imagined, the body reacts in much the same way. As an example, think about how you feel in a scary movie. The physical response is the same as when you ARE in a scary situation. This has immense implications for your THOUGHTS affecting your physical health. Take time to think about how your thoughts increase the stress on your body and especially your #1 stress responder-your adrenal gland.
Action steps:
Work on recognizing when you are practicing negative self talk and turning your inner conversation into a truthful, positive one. Write down positive thoughts you can read if you find yourself easily slipping into negative thinking patterns.
