Are Your Thoughts Dragging Down Your Physical Health?

Mindset
Written By Leanne de Groot

While your heart, your emotions, and your physical wellbeing may all seem like three distinctly separate things, they are connected in ways that science is rapidly revealing.

Rumination and dwelling on the negative creates emotional stress that can have a negative impact on your physical wellbeing. Your health, your energy, your ability to live an optimised life can be enormously down regulated by thoughts that drag you down.

Self-reflection can be a good thing. But it can get serious when introspection goes awry and thoughts get stuck on repeat, playing over and over in the mind? A life of rumination can literally shorten your lifespan 😵

Are your thoughts dragging down your physical health?

You can improve all health conditions and diseases by learning to control your thought processes and managing your emotional reactions to outside stress triggers. Controlled emotional responses can help restore hormonal balance.

Learn to balance and emotional stability with one-on-one support sessions. Find the strength and wisdom you hold inside yourself, and learn how to bring them to the front of your consciousness!

In real time, that you can witness, you can control your reactions, decrease anxiety and stress levels. The result is a calmer, proactive instead of reactive self, capable of letting stress flow over you and away.

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
