Question of the Day: Day 225

Do you think that an individual's personal happiness has any impact (good or bad) on his/her general health? Has your emotional state ever impacted your health?

Definitely has an impact on your health.

I think that physiologically speaking, it certainly does. But of course, happiness is one of those words where the definition
changes from person to person and moment to moment. Making sound judgements and careful choices when possible along the way...this is key to percieved happiness.
Context/Perspective/ Perception...
Again, if we can bring the relationship of this order to the present(future) then the past will be all the more relevant.

Personally, I'm not an outwardly stressfull person, but I am aware that the toll is often taken on the inside physically for pent up emotional angst, so I try to be conscious of what my body is telling me.

I most definitely believe that an individual's personal happiness (thought life) has an impact on their health. Long term stress, negative thinking, & hopelessness are toxic to ones health; thoughts are powerful, the effect our emotional & physical health.

100% - yes.

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
-Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

"What we think about all day long manifests."
-Dr. Abraham Maslowe

If we think sick & twisted, if we cram sick & twisted into our heads, if we ponder upon sickness and misery - can we expect anything different?

If we orient ourselves towards health and solutions... The possibilities are endless!

Consider cycling champion Lance Armstrong's book "It's Not About the Bike!" - or Wayne Dyer's "Your Sacred Self" - what we think about doesn't just matter, what we think about actually manifests reality.
