Did you know that
every single thought and feeling that you have in your mind manifests itself
physically in your body in some way, shape or form? This is why the body
releases various different chemicals based on our mood or how we're feeling at
the time, whether it be feel-good chemicals from being happy or stress
hormones from being anxious.
When it comes to positive versus negative thoughts,
the big question is whether or not experiences and events that happen in life
are intrinsically negative or positive.
For example, a person
is waiting patiently in line to get coffee, but someone suddenly cuts in front
of them and orders first. The person who was waiting instantly gets upset and
starts down a negative path of thinking that goes on to influence their entire
day. They're in a bad mood all day because they cannot escape their negative
thoughts.
But
what if that person chose to accept that another person cut them in line and
simply went on with their day, negativity free? They don't succumb to negative
thoughts and, therefore, negativity does not dominate their day.
So, was the person
cutting in line an intrinsically negative experience? Or do we define whether
or not experiences are inherently negative or positive?

While the direct influence that the mind has
on the body is not always readily apparent, the link between these two vessels
is sacred. When we have an overwhelmingly positive mindset, attitude, and
outlook on life, we're better able to resolve an internal problem, which in
turn helps us create a happy, healthy life.
The same goes for
negativity. If we're constantly having self-destructive thoughts or choose to
dwell in negativity, we avoid resolving internal issues and subsequently end up
in an unhealthy lifestyle. Every emotion and experience we have gets stored in
the cell memory of our bodies.
This is why any
unresolved traumas or wounds will continue popping up in different areas of
your life until you've fully healed them. (You can see which areas of the body
are affected by which emotions and types of pain in the chart above.)
If you've been experiencing a lot of tightness or pain throughout your
body, and it's not due to physical activity, listen to what your body is trying
to tell you. These
could be signs that your body wants you to find inner peace and resolve any
painful issues that you've avoided in the past.
The best thing you can do to stay aligned with
your higher being, as well as prevent the onset of rumination, is to be aware
of how you perceive the experiences of your life. Instead of impulsively
jumping from one emotion to the next, take a step back and see if there is any
possible way you can learn from the experience.
Train yourself to
observe, rather than to react. You are in complete control, even when you don't
think you are.
