Health Psychology
All human diseases begin with improper behavior. Our body is perfectly balanced, but this balance is easy to upset.
We and our health are influenced by both external and internal factors. External factors include the inability to dress properly for the weather, going outside in winter after taking a bath, unhealthy diet, drinking poor-quality water, etc. Prevention of such diseases is quite simple: a contrast shower, wiping with a wet towel, physical education, regular rest.
Internal factors are negative emotions: slander, pride, envy, jealousy, anger, resentment, lies, sadness, fear, and others. These factors lead to psychological problems, which can gradually turn into diseases. In order to get rid of these negative emotions and states, you should learn to respect and feel yourself and others, understand the motivation of actions and the behavior of people around you, which can help you predict the situation and choose a more correct behavior.
Do not forget that all problem situations are given to people to learn certain lessons. Therefore, any events in our lives should be accepted with understanding. And folk wisdom says: "Everything that is not done is for the better." Remember that prolonged negative emotions can lead to serious and even incurable diseases.
List of possible diseases caused by negative emotions:
Anger - liver;
Fear - kidneys;
Anxiety - spleen;
Resentment - stomach;
Sadness and grief - lungs;
High pickiness towards other people - blood diseases;
Attachment to material goods - hernia;
Imposing your worldview on others – stretching joints and ligaments;
Criticism of yourself and others – colds, sore throats, pneumonia, bronchitis;
Contempt for people – skin diseases;
Anger – arthritis and arthrosis.
In the modern world, it has already become traditional that instead of realizing the psychological cause of the disease and eliminating it, a person begins to use various pharmaceutical drugs. At the same time, patients often do not consult doctors, but use the advice of acquaintances or friends. This is also actively facilitated by the dominance of advertising of drugs in the media. Such “treatment” is often ineffective and leads to serious complications. Meanwhile, the real cause of the disease in the form of a psychological problem is not eliminated, but rather aggravated.
The best way to treat and prevent diseases caused by internal factors is positive thinking, which in turn causes positive emotions: joy, love, fearlessness, goodwill, warmth, sincerity, generosity, etc.
Thoughts and emotions have a powerful effect on a person's mood, which is the key to the health of our body.
