Life issue become health issues

It’s common sense to me how our life as a whole, can and does affect our health, whether we realize it or not.

From the career we have, to the spouse we choose; from the environment we live in to those we surround ourselves with; everything in our life affects our physical and emotional health.

Sure, eating healthy and regular exercise are major contributors toward our health. However, our emotional life and the structures I listed above are also significant factors.

I’d even go so far as to say that carrying around things like toxic relationships, unhealed trauma, unresolved anger & resentment, compounded daily over many years have a dramatically greater effect on our health and body than a healthy diet and exercise.

We exercise once a day & can eat healthy meals three times a day, however suffering the ill effects of unhealed anger, deep resentment & past trauma will show up all day every day.

We must look at our health from a holistic point of view rather than a myopic one; how everything in our life affects our health, including our mental and emotional state, and then make the necessary changes to improve it.
