4 tips to achieve well-being with mind-body balance

One thing is certain: balance cannot be taken for granted; it must be maintained, both in mind and body. A sharp mind and emotional balance helps you not only think but also stay fit One of the guiding principles for achieving well-being is the indissoluble connection between body and mind. Every time we have a negative thought, our body reacts accordingly by triggering a cascade of cellular reactions that affect all the molecules in our body. Our cells are constantly observing our thoughts and are modified by them.

From this holistic perspective, health is not simply the absence of disease or symptoms; it is a state of optimal well-being, vitality and wholeness. Disease, on the other hand, develops when there is an interruption, a blockage in the flow of energy and information in our body-mind. Symptoms and illness are the body’s signal that we need to restore balance, clear whatever is causing the blockages, and restore a healthy balance. We therefore need to establish a healthy dialogue between mind and body, be aware of our movements, emotional processes, reaction times and attention. It is therefore very important to stay active both physically and mentally.

Here are 4 tips that will help you create a positive feedback loop between your mind and body:

• Exercise: Find an exercise you enjoy and start doing it regularly. Research shows that exercise improves mood by freeing up oxygen in the brain and releasing endorphins. Discover all the Bodycode tools for a functional and fun workout.
