The Way Thoughts Influence Nerves

By Karen Stewart


The fact that our physical parts are affected by our thoughts and emotions means that the medical industry is supposed to look into both. For example, if you are having depressing thoughts, your blood pressure may rise or fall. This means you should see both a medical doctor and psychologist in order to recover. The article explains thoughts influence nerves on a deeper level.

People always tend to think that the brain and the body are two differently functioning systems but these are organs which work hand in hand with each other. This is however not the case, and we prove it to ourselves time and time again. A good example, remember the last time you went on an interview, you tried to appear as calm as you could but in reality, your heartbeat rate was high, and you were maybe sweating more than usual.

Some of the states we are in can be physical and emotional together and apart. For example, you can be alone and really feel that you are alone or you can be alone and never feel lonely. At the same time, you can be amidst people but still feel very lonely. While understanding ourselves does not wipe away all the troubles, we are able to handle ourselves better.

That saying that for every action there is a reaction, the same applies to bodily and mind connection. For every emotion, there is a physical reaction. There is the aspect of worry. You may be worried that your child is late in coming home. You may be afraid when the child has been kidnapped. Both cases bring anxiety which causes various body muscles to tighten.

Worry and fear have almost similar physical effects. They, however, vary from one person to another. Both these emotions bring some sense of anxiety. The physical reaction you this may be stomach pains, panic attacks, breathlessness, or even weak legs. So depending on your personality, your reaction may not be the same as that of everyone else.

Anger is another emotion with very notable physical reactions which if not controlled can cause harming effects. When someone is angry with you, the first thing is to apologize. Some people tend to run away; others cry while others are left in a state of shock. When it is the opposite, and you are angry with someone, your reaction depends on the person you are. You may scream, shout, bottle it up or walk away.

Memories also give us different emotions. When you remember something sad, you will not act the same way as you remember something good. Good memories bring joy to our heart and give us that warm feeling. A bad memory may cause you to sweat shake a lot and sweat like never before in your life.

Illnesses and injuries affect us both physically and emotionally depending on the intensity. If you were involved in a bad road accident, the memory would always haunt you. You will also tend to touch the part of the body that was affected. You may also feel pain at times although it may be imagined the pain.
