Of course, we are all participants in our own lives. But sometimes we live life from a distance, watching it go by without making any vigorous moves to keep from getting stuck, or to reach a goal that requires some extra effort. It is almost like we are a spectator of our own lives, just thinking or talking about ourselves, but not being aware of the physical connection to our issues. To be a full participant in our lives, we need to include the body. There is a physical root to most conce s, even if they may seem to be mostly on the emotional, mental, or spiritual level.

Anger is a completely normal and healthful emotion. It helps us focus our awareness on situations that require our attention, and helps us rouse the energy needed to protect ourselves from harm. But when anger is frozen into cynical hostility or resentment, it robs us of our natural capacity to give and receive the love and social support that protect us from the emotional (chemical) surges that can contribute to heart disease. Hostility can use up a great deal of energy and make us miserable. Healthful anger is flexible, controlled, and specific.

Language is the architecture of our minds. It is the builder of our psychological experiences. If we think and talk positive, we will feel good, motivated and optimistic. But if our thoughts and internal dialogue are grounded in anxiety and fear, this is how we feel. We will feel apprehensive and scared, we will behave anxiously, and we will reinforce and grow further anxieties because we are feeding and seeding it at its core. This leads to cognitive distortions in our perceptions and interpretations of experiences, whereby we develop a negatively biased view of ourselves and the world.

Depression is a state of mind in which one feels low and shows utter disinterest or rather aversion towards any kind of activities. A depressed person suffers from a melancholy or sadness far exceeding the normal level of sadness or grief. Depression is viewed in the light of psychology, ‘the science without a definition’. Therefore the nature, the enormity and cause of depression vary from person to person.

Occasionally we make the mistake of believing in stereotypes simply due to the fact legends, books, movies, television and other forms of media tell us that they’re true. Santa Claus is a perfect example. The Victorian-age poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” tells us (little kids, in specific) that Santa Claus can be a happy, jolly, nimble, and had a belly that “shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.” Only an obese adult would wonder why Santa is so jolly, and how he manages to slinker down all those tight chimneys.

Stress has several long-term affects on the body. The nutrients provided by the food we eat and produced within our bodies are used up more rapidly in times of stress. Therefore our bodies require additional supplementation otherwise the bodies resources will be depleted and normal function will suffer or cease. The adrenal glands are chiefly responsible for the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, GH, epinephrine and norepinephrine.

There is nothing more tantalizing than living by expectations that you can not live up to on a daily basis. This will create more suffering than what is necessary. Let's face it, there is enough suffering to go around by just being born into the human race. Suffering is part of life, but what incapacitates people, is the unnecessary suffering. Suppose you expect yourself to be happy all the time (and I know people who do) and when you encounter negative experiences that fail this expectation, you descend into depression.

Mental illness carries a lot of stigma. People often hide their diagnosis or minimize their symptoms because they are afraid of the judgment that will follow. It seems easier for many to suffer in silence than to have everyone else look at them as broken or crazy, as something to be feared or pitied. Many people would rather struggle every day to function than to become a pariah or a joke.

Mental illness is the gorilla in the room that nobody wants to talk about. It is that dirty secret that everyone knows but never openly acknowledges, instead whispering about it in dark corners where others cannot hear. It has become an epidemic of catastrophic proportions, yet it is still regarded with fear because those who have never been there do not understand it and those who are suffering have been beaten down so badly by their inner demons that they often no longer have the will to speak up.
