Whenever there is a problem that you cannot manage in your mind, it is going to come out through the body. We know that there's a connection between stress and heart attacks. But what exactly is the connection?
What I tend to find is when I have patients who feel mentally bad, suppress those feelings, power through that stress that you feel in your head is a signal of what's going on in your body. It is a signal to slow down. It is a signal to stop. It is a signal to stop doing what you're doing. But they ignore all those signals and they keep entering and pushing deeper into like the danger zone.
So, it's kind of like if I jump into a pool of water and I hold my breath and I start swimming downward. If I start to feel like I need to breathe, I need to breathe, I need to breathe, I need to breathe. Those are signals for my body to rise to the surface and take a breath. What would happen if I keep swimming down? This is what these people do. They're getting all these signals of mental stress, but they're so anhidonic. They're so emotionally suppressive. They're so avoidantly coping that they ignore all those signals and they keep driving their body forward until eventually the body gives out. Boom. Myioardial inffection.
So in this way being so mentally strong that you ignore your body is one of the most unhealthy things that you can do. And everyone thinks this is great like oh my god I'm able to push myself push myself to the limit past the limit even more past the limit. And what what happens when I do that? I think of myself as someone. I'm great. There are limits for regular humans, but I I am conquering the body. The body is telling me slow down. The body is telling me it hurts. I'm going to be better than that. I'm going to be stronger. I'm going to be better. Right?
And if we really think about it, this is what's so scary. Why do you need to be stronger? Why do you need to be better? Because deep, deep, deep down, you are not happy with who you are. The more content you you are with who you are, the less you have to prove to yourself and everyone else around you how strong you
