The psychoanalyst Anne-Marie
Filliozat , practicing positive thinking for thirty years, and Dr. Gerard Guasch
, a specialist in armor Psychocorporal "are pioneering a novel approach, proposing the joint use of thoughts, inner images, emotions, sensations, memories and bodily tension. Through effective exercises inspired by neuroscience, but also by Chinese medicine, they give us here simple key to improving our daily lives and our health ...
We all know that our immune system is the guardian of our health, and scientists have now amply demonstrated that a state of high stress decreases our immunity. Everything that comes from the psyche - emotional climate, mental images, thoughts - is involved. How can we influence these phenomena psychosomatic?
Ten ways to develop ourselves in positive attitudes, thus strengthening our health:
1. Develop an attitude of "dialogue mind-body"
Our responsibility begins with an attitude of vigilance to listen to signals from our body (unusual fatigue, pain, even intermittently, significant changes in appetite, sleep, sexuality), or prolonged state of psychological discomfort (anxiety repetitive, high anxiety permanent). In this "inventory" must be added a question on when, how, why? Make up in connection with such event, such stressful situation.
2. Learn to reduce the impact of stress
Different practices simple and efficient can help us Do not let stressors, even stronger, to have an impact on us too violent. The first resource is a respiratory pattern characterized as anti-stress, precisely because it prevents blocking almost reflex of the diaphragm. Choose the expiration of inspiration. "Blow" instead of suspending his breathing apnea, provides immediate global release of the body.
3. Cultivate a regular practice of relaxation
Relaxation helps muscle relaxation and mental. Practiced regularly, it saves us the overhead of tension and increases substantially our resistance to stress. This practice is to formulate, as an idea or image, an intention to relax - if possible in a situation lying down. This release message is immediately registered by our brain which disseminates information to our entire organization.
4. Visualize the activity of our immune system
The image is the vehicle of choice between psyche and soma in us representing the functioning of our immune system, we send him an injunction, a kind of "subliminal advertising" aimed at fostering its activity. An example : Imagining cells equipped with radar, which circulate throughout your body, detecting and eliminating any undesirable element, or a team of cleaners, ridding the body of his indoor pollution.
4. Dare to express our emotions
The state of stress is accompanied by a significant emotional charge, most often used. This repression of emotions has unfortunate consequences on your mood, your state of muscle tension, our energy flow. It is good for our health (and very comforting) to express our feelings whenever possible. It is good to get used to saying what does not suit us, to strongly refuse that exceeds our limits, to cry in welcoming arms when we are going through severe tests, to share our concerns. Many depressive states are put on the account of repressed emotions, often for a very long time and accumulate over time. Psychotherapeutic accompaniment is sometimes necessary to help to relieve this burden and to rediscover the joy of living.
5. Cultivating a policy of fun and humor
take advantage full of small pleasures of daily living large are less frequent, so do not expect exceptional circumstances, or that everything goes well, to enjoy life, even in the most ordinary moments. Positive thinking is nothing but a reminder of the wonder of life. Despite the hardships, the horrors and sometimes, life is a miracle permanent and reserve treasures. Keep in mind this truth now been proven scientifically as a result of pleasure, the cells of our immune system are far better job. And humor? This is a fantastic remedy for gloom and an elegant way of stepping back - some of them are effectively used to cure serious disorder! It is a powerful anti-stress tool ... provided they are handled in a non-aggressive.
6. Be treated with leniency and softness
Most of us are merciless judges for themselves. When you have committed neglect, error or mistake, however small, is not it once a reproach or an insult that you speak? This negative view has resonance throughout your body, triggering negative mood, nervousness, body tension. The remedy : An attitude of just self-love, which is not navel-gazing, but the recognition of our true qualities.
7. Adopt a lifestyle that meets our needs
Our needs are both physical (food, sleep, exercise) and psychological (to be loved, recognized, realized) or existential (have goals, give meaning to his life) . Each time one of our basic needs can not find adequate satisfaction, develops a state of stress more or less depending on the degree of frustration. The multiplicity and extension of these stressors USED BY our strength, both emotionally and Mental depressing our immune system. Know your needs is a first step, not always easy for those who have been educated to care for others rather than themselves, then identify gaps and assess the resources that can be overcome.
8. Caring for our relational network
Communication with others is essential to feed the energy in us. In addition, physical contact with relatives is not only an antidote to loneliness, and when the relationship to the other is good enough, she brings a sense of security decreases anxiety. More good news: the skin to skin contact is directly related to cellular activity. Studies on the influence of massage have objectified the very beneficial effect on body function of the "warmth" and transmitted.
9. Circulate the energy we
Life is movement. Our blockages restricting the flow of our energy. Maintain fluidity, by moving our body in flexibility. Whether walking, sports, martial arts, or other practices, the project is of "décuirasser" our body, avoid sclerosis, to arouse the feelings of our body alive.
10. Ensure synergy of our resources
Be attentive to each of the parameters mentioned above, in order to keep a perspective of our whole person. Each resource potentiates the effects of another and creates a synergy based on the fundamental unit body / mind.
