If there is only ONE thing I could emphasize to you, it would be this:  your mind and body are connected. This means that stress, fear, anger, sadness, frustration, anxiety, etc. affects your body too. Maybe you feel this as tightness in certain areas, such as your belly, neck, jaw. Maybe you are not even aware of where in your body you feel and carry stress, but it can affect many areas and systems of the body. It frequently plays a part in physical issues, such as chronic pain and chronic GI issues. This especially important to understand during this time of th pandemic as stress and negative emotions weaken the immune system.

With my background as a Physical Therapist, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Nutrition Consultant, and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I find that this mind and body connection is often overlooked and underestimated. However, it is an important part of any effective wellness plan. Supporting the mind body connection is really easy to implement in your day, even a few minutes help.
