Health, Wellness and Beauty


 
“Mens sana in corpore sano” is a famous antique quotation and it translates as "A sound mind in a sound body." The loosely-translated meaning in English for the phrase is "A healthy mind in a healthy body." Over time, the phrase has come to mean that only a healthy body can produce or sustain a healthy mind.
To a very large extent this notion is still predominant in western cultures, given the extraordinary emphasis given to sporting activities, physical fitness and body culture. The reason for this is that in the process of identification with their body, people derive the notion of who they are , so if progress in 'mind cultivation' was to be achieved it is important to maintain a healthy body, without becoming fanatical about it. In psychosomatic medicine there is a notion that the body reflects the state of your mind,

About mind
 
The mind is an extremely powerful and useful tool. However, depending on what level of control we have over it, thoughts can drag us along like a wild river -- we can become lost in the jungles of our minds. This can cause great suffering and most people live their entire lives with an undercurrent of unease, restlessness, and tension. The degrees vary as we go through cycles of good and poor fortune, but it never goes away for most of us.

Life often seems to be a struggle like we are just treading to keep our heads above water in our financial, career, social, family, and personal lives. We have accepted stress to be a part of life and allow the outer world and circumstances outside of our control to govern how we feel inside. This is why so many people feel they are victims, unlucky, hard-done-by, and the problems they face are not their fault. These thoughts are, of course irrelevant. They do not bring about any positive change or solution to the problem -- only negative feelings and reactions.

The truth is, people who have had to endure extraordinarily difficult lives have risen above circumstance, taken control of their minds, and were happy inside regardless of outer circumstance. They were no greater or lesser than you. You can do this and you can start right now. It does not require you to change anything in your life (career, mate, lifestyle, etc). It only requires that you change your perspective of the world.
Fear is the body's response to your mind's interpretation of a threat of death. Fear was originally designed to keep you from getting eaten. Few people have this problem anymore, so why do we have fear? We have allowed non-life-threatening things to cause the same physical response in our bodies and minds that was originally reserved only for encounters with bears and tigers. Now we can experience adrenaline rushes in a heated argument with our boss! Is your boss going to kill you? In most cases, no.

Humans can survive in quite extreme conditions. It may not be as comfortable, but it is as it is. Why be upset about it? Be happy for whatever you do have, not unhappy for what you do not have. Be happy to have all four limbs, your health, and be happy that you even have a family. Be happy that even though it may be tough, there will be food somehow. Things always work out, especially in developed countries. If you are on this website, it's highly likely you are in a land full of opportunity. Ninety-percent of you reading this live in the United States. How often do we all complain that we'd like to have more money? Here's a shift of perspective: We want a nicer car and a bigger house while we throw away enough food each day to feed half of the world. Since 1/3 of the world is starving and 1/2 is greater than that, we could feed the entire world effortlessly if we chose.
 
Anxiety and Phobias
 
Everyone worries or gets scared sometimes. But if you feel extremely worried or afraid much of the time, or if you repeatedly feel panicky, you may have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders, which include panic attacks and phobias, are among the most common mental illnesses, affecting about 19 million American adults. Thankfully, never before have there been so many therapies to help control anxiety.
Anxiety is probably the most basic of all emotions. Not only is it experienced by all humans, but anxiety responses have been found in all species of animals right down to the sea slug. Anxiety experiences vary tremendously in their severity from mild uneasiness to extreme terror and panic. They can also vary tremendously in their length from a brief, almost fleeting flash, to a constant, all day affair. While anxiety, by its nature and definition, is an unpleasant sensation, it is not in the least dangerous. It is this last point which forms the basis of this article. The aim of the next few pages is to teach you about the components (physical and mental) of anxiety in order that (1) you realize that many of the feelings which you now experience are the result of anxiety and (2) you learn that these feelings are not harmful or dangerous.
Anxiety manifests itself through three separate systems and it is important to identify these systems since each one can be primary in any individual person. The three systems are: the mental system (which includes the actual feelings of nervousness, anxiety and panic and also includes thoughts such as "there is something wrong"); the physical system (which includes all the physical symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, palpitations, chest pain, and breathlessness); the behavioral system (which includes the actual activities such as pacing, foot tapping and avoidance). In panic attacks the physical system becomes the most important since it is these symptoms which are most easily mistaken as indicating some serious disease.
 
Anxiety affects:
-your nerves called the autonomic nervous system
-increase in heart rate and the strength of the heartbeat
-increase in the speed and depth of breathing , can include breathlessness, choking or smothering feelings, and even pains or tightness in the chest.
There are many ways these symptoms can be produced, not just through fear. For example, it may be that you have become generally stressed for some reason in your life and this stress results in an increase in production of adrenalin and other chemicals which from time to time produce symptoms.
