Shhhh! Dialogue between Mental and Physical health is going on.
I was always wondering, that how everyone around me is not able to understand, if there is a stomach problem that can be due to stress. One day, I was not feeling well, someone asked me, what happened, I told him that I had so much on my mind. Then, he asked what happened to my health, I again explained I am under stress. He irritatedly, asked me again I am asking not about your mood, I am asking about your health, Then I came to realize oops! this is our society, I cannot overwrite the old thinking patterns of the society where emotional or mental health is not actual health.
So, here comes the story.
One day, my body was not able to walk, it asked the mind, why the legs are not functioning properly, the mind said I am exhausted and not in that position to send and work on accurate signals. Body asked, why you are exhausted, what happened, then the mind said actually when there were too many thoughts in the mind, I was confused and stressed, then in that confusion, I am unable to execute the functioning of that respective cells in the mind that was connected to the leg organ. The body said to the mind, ok then, just relax and meditate. Now, the Body knows that when the mind will be relaxed, the legs will function properly.
On a random day, my stomach was disturbed. Something worst happened to me that day (emotionally). I explained to my senior that I want some time to feel relaxed as I am having a stomach ache. He looked at me like I am trying to take leave by lying to him. He told me, that if I needed a break then I should directly say that to him, at least I should not make excuses. Then I thought, Oh dear God, again I have to give logic to a person who cannot think like mind and body both are part of me and they work in synchronization. Then, I listened to my mind and gut discussion. Both were saying that they were sharing some hormones that are required for the brain and the gut. Serotonin is one of them. This hormone is related to the happiness feeling as well as the digesting and secretion of fluids in the intestines. So, if we are feeling unhappy, then it can directly affect our gut. So now, we know we can improve our gut health by being happy.
Whenever someone will tell you that there can’t be any health issue because of the emotional disturbance. Then don’t worry, You just relax and try to be at peace. After all, We all need to take care of our overall well-being.
