الصحة النفسية و الجسدية وجهان لعملة واحدة:

ان الصحة النفسية و الجسدية وجهان لعملة واحدة فلا يمكن الحصول على واحدة دون الأخرى. مثلا أثبتت الأبحاث العلمية ان الكثير منمرضى الروماتيزم يعانون من الاكتئاب. ربما بسبب الألم المزمن و ربما بسبب ترابط الجينات. كذلك بعض المشاكل الصحية المعقدة مثلالارهاق و الوزن الزائد أحد أسبابها الجوهرية هو شعور الشخص بأنه غير كاف فقد يرى لاشعوريا ان الوزن الزائد يعوضه عن ذلك و يجعلهمرئيا أكثر فيتمسك بك. و في حالة الارهاق، قد يصبح الشخص اللذي يشعر بعدم الاكتفاء أنه يحتاج لانجازات حتى يصبح كافيا. و قد يؤديذلك الى انجرافه في رحلة البحث عن الكمال و الزام نفسه أكثر من طاقتها و هي رحلة مرهقة تؤدي الى شعوره بالتعب المزمن اللذي قد لايجد له الأطباء اي تفسير عضوي حين ترجع كل التحاليل سليمة. الحل اذا؟ ليس هناك صحة جسدية كاملة من دون صحة نفسية و لا صحةنفسية او سعادة كاملة من دون جسد صحيح. علينا المحافظة على الاثنين. كما تمرن جسدك في الجيم  مرن مشاعرك و عضلاتك الفكرية فيجيم الصحة النفسية من خلال التزامك بتمارين توكيدات او كتابة او تأمل. كما تغذي جسدك غذاءا صحيا، غذي مشاعرك كذلك و املأ خزانكالعاطفي من خلال الرفقة الطيبة، التأملات و التمارين النفسية العلاجية. كيف ذلك؟ أريكم في المدونات القادمة باذن الله. ابقوا معنا!
