Entering into conflict with your body, you can not only ruin your mood, but also gradually provoke the development of painful conditions. It's important to learn to treat your body like a good friend. To establish the necessary connection, you can resort to some light psychological tricks.
Many people find it extremely difficult to love themselves - their bodies. If in childhood a person has a very strong connection with his physical shell with his internal organs and systems, then with the course of life such contact may be broken. A person is capable of a conflict with his own body due to influence from the outside, for example, due to the attacks of others. Hostile relations with the body can also develop under the influence of independently grown complexes and attitudes.
Lack of friendly connection with the body, unwillingness to accept oneself and support oneself lead to depletion of internal forces, to a situation of constant - personally created - exhausting stress. When a person is at odds with his internal organs and with the body as a whole, this inevitably turns into the development of disorders and pathologies. In addition, it reduces the overall quality of life and negatively affects the psyche.
How can you make friends with your body? How to restore the necessary connection in order to feel full of energy and a healthy person from day to day?
A few steps to establish a friendship with the body
- Make it a habit to greet your body every morning. When you wake up, do not jump out of bed right away, listen to yourself, to your physical sensations, to the signals that the body gives. Mentally ask the body and internal organs how they feel today, how much they managed to recover and rest. Listen again: the body will definitely give answers. In addition, if you are attentive, empathetic and positive, the body will tell you how to improve your well-being, if necessary.
- Learn to compliment yourself. Try not to constantly focus on any chronic ailments or on points in your appearance that, for one reason or another, do not suit you. Try for at least a month in a row every day to get up in front of the mirror and say aloud nice things to yourself, to compliment your body. You will quickly feel how your mood will rise, how there will be a surge of energy. Gradually, any unpleasant sensations in organs and tissues will begin to melt under the influence of your positive attention.
- Before bed, take a few minutes to thank your body for having it, that you are alive, that systems and organs are working. Walk all over your body, pay at least a little attention to each area, sincerely saying "thank you".
- To build a friendly bond with your body, try to walk barefoot more and more often. In summer, it is worth at least once a week to run barefoot on the ground and grass in order to feel the surge of natural forces.
- Remember to take good care of yourself. At the same time, the process of leaving should not be tortured, unwanted and too hasty. Enjoy your shower, allow yourself to experience genuine pleasure using the caring cosmetics.
- Try to realize and accept all your negative emotions and thoughts directed at the body. Then gently replace them with acceptance and love.
- Learn to breathe properly and deeply. Master at least simple relaxation techniques that will help get rid of the accumulated tension in muscles and organs. By doing the practices regularly, after a week you will notice how the body has become lighter, how more strength and confidence has appeared.
- Never rush to eat. Feel its taste, do not be distracted by anything, think only about good things at the time of eating.
- Remember to regularly give your body at least a minimal amount of stress. A person cannot be healthy if there is not enough movement and activity in his life.
- Don't ignore the tactile sensations. Try to have hugs with other people every day in your life.
