My body is always ailing, and I'm anxious and depressed. How should I adjust myself?

The health of the body and mind is inextricably linked.

Greetings,

As a nutrition/holistic health consultant, I am pleased to address your questions from my area of expertise and sincerely hope to be of assistance.

A lack of strength is a common symptom, manifesting as poor resistance, persistent fatigue, and a sense of physical burden. However, the precise underlying cause must be determined through further assessment. There are at least three potential avenues for investigation:

1. Pathological examination

2. In the event that item 1 has been excluded as a potential cause, it would be advisable to conduct a screening for dietary, rest, and nutrient deficiencies.

3. Evaluate the psychological burden and stress index.

It is not possible to provide a comprehensive response based on the information provided in the initial description. However, the following general recommendations can be offered:

Once physical problems are resolved, an improvement in mood may also be observed. Conversely, engaging in activities that are enjoyable and spending time with people who are positive influences can also have a beneficial effect on the body.

The crucial point is to identify an initial action that can be implemented to initiate a process of planning and change. It is not necessary to be overly concerned with the specific cause and effect relationships or the precise sequence of events, given that the body and mind are inherently interactive and influence each other.

Diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and environmental factors are all distinct aspects of health. One may ascertain which of these is not functioning optimally.

Which aspects can be improved? Once the desired results are achieved, overall health will improve.

It is also important to seek professional advice at the appropriate time, whether the issue is physical or mental.

It is my sincere hope that you will experience an improvement in your condition in the near future.

Hello!

You envy others' vitality, health, and happiness because you are weak. This makes you feel inferior, which causes sadness.

There's no doubt about it: being weak causes a lot of inconvenience. It's only natural to feel that there are things that are very difficult for us that are very easy for others.

No two people are born into this world exactly the same. Some are born into wealthy families, while others are born into poor ones.

Some people are born with high IQs, while others are born with low IQs. Some people are born healthy, while others are born weak.

You probably focus more on physical issues and constantly compare yourself to others when you find you are weaker than them.

Your body and mind are one. Your body's weakness is causing you sadness and anxiety. These emotions are affecting your body and preventing it from developing healthily.

You have discovered this, and now it is time to break the cycle.

I have a few suggestions for you to consider, and I am confident they will be useful.

First, identify the qualities that make you superior to others.

You are concerned about your weak body and anxious and depressed moods. You need to focus on these aspects.

You can broaden your field of vision and see other aspects of yourself. For example, you can identify one of your talents or examine your surroundings.

Second, get to know people who are weaker than you.

Look at some of the people who have died unexpectedly in the news if you are seriously ill or have a severe disability. You are considered very lucky compared to them.

This method may seem unethical, but it works. Use it in the early stages, and then not so often.

Third, regulate yourself step by step.

You should do more exercise for your body. If you are too weak, start with something simple, such as walking or Ba Duan Jin. When you are ready, you can run, play ball, etc.

You don't need to worry about minor problems. Read some books on health preservation or find a trustworthy Chinese medicine practitioner to help you regulate your body.

Read and learn to enrich your emotional well-being. Meditate to alleviate anxiety and depression.

You will find satisfaction by devoting yourself to a particular interest.

You can do this. Minimize comparisons, pay attention to your own heart, and live your life well.

I am Haru Aoki, and I love you, the world.

Hello!

Host:

Hi, I'm Zeng Chen, a heart exploration coach. I've read your post and I totally get where you're coming from.

I also want to say that I admire you for being so open and for actively seeking help on the platform. I'm sure it will help you to understand yourself better and to make positive changes.

Next, I'll share some thoughts from your post that I hope will help you see yourself in a new light.

1. Physical and mental health

In your post, you mentioned that you're someone who struggles with physical fitness and tends to have minor health issues. I can relate! My mood is also often anxious and depressed, and I sometimes have insomnia. I see that many people are both healthy and happy, and I'm here to support you in achieving that balance.

I feel sad too, first of all, I understand your emotions.

Let's chat about what we can do for ourselves right now, shall we?

From a psychological point of view, apart from organic lesions, some of the "symptoms" in our body are often related to our emotions. In the post, the poster also mentioned that their emotions are often associated with anxiety and depression, which is totally understandable!

I'd love to hear how you dealt with these emotions when they came up. Did you express them in a reasonable way, or did you suppress your emotions?

It's so common for our emotions to try to find a way to be expressed, and our bodies are often the way they do it! So, some of the "symptoms" in our body may also have a lot to do with our emotions.

2. Give it a try! Try to connect with your body.

As we chatted about earlier, if we don't express our emotions in a healthy way, they might find another outlet. But the good news is, we can also explore our emotions and the needs behind them through our bodies!

How do you explore it? You can try connecting with your body, which I think you'll find is a great way to do it!

Another great way to connect with your body is to focus some of your attention on the part of your body that is uncomfortable, and stay there with the discomfort for a while. You can even imagine that if this part could express itself, what would it say?

Through such exercises, we may also know what our emotions are trying to express. Our emotions are actually messengers, and they're trying to tell us something!

He comes with some information from within, and if we receive this information, our emotions will be relieved. But if we never receive it, it will always be there, affecting our body and mind. This method seems simple, but it is not easy to do. Don't worry, though! Practice makes perfect.

If you're interested, I'd highly recommend reading the book "The Body Knows the Answer" by Wu Zhihong. It's a great resource!

3. Exercise It's time for some movement!

I think you know this yourself. You may not be able to do it all at once, but I just want to say that we need to give ourselves more love and expectations. We can do this!

It's so much more than just an exercise plan! It's not about copying what others do and trying to do the same thing.

Instead, try to develop an exercise method that suits you according to your own internal rules.

And don't forget to take it one step at a time! Don't set the bar too high. Start with small goals and then, when you've achieved those, you can move on to the next one.

Once you've reached a small goal, treat yourself to something fun! It's like playing a game.

I really hope these ideas will be helpful and inspiring for you!

When I read the question, my first thought was: "This is life on earth. We are different, but we are also the same. Everyone we meet seems to be different from us...like an island. But when everyone shares their pain, struggles, brokenness, and feelings of powerlessness, you will discover that deep in the ocean, we are all connected to the mainland—and it's an amazing discovery!"

Now, imagine for a moment that you're gathering a group of strangers in an environment of trust, respect, acceptance, and support. You ask the group a question: "How many of you have felt the feeling of being hurt? Raise your hand."

Guess what? The result is often that almost everyone raises their hand!

The good news is that you're not alone! When you see others around you facing challenges, it's a reminder that you're not the only one who is hurting, struggling, or feeling like you're not good enough. It's a reminder that everyone has their own set of problems, but that's what makes us human!

"Welcome to the human world!" Each of us is a unique, complex being, brimming with a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences.

Once we become aware of this, we can let go of self-criticism and self-punishment, and relax from the tension!

I love what my psychology teacher said: everyone is moving forward with their own problems. Even if I were a counselor and had a great career, I would still have issues I had to deal with.

Have you ever thought about how different "problem" is from "issue"? A problem is something that needs to be fixed. But an issue is something that can be discussed, and it's full of challenges and opportunities!

For me, those moments of the "emotion roller coaster" are a welcome surprise! I have control over my response. I keep a record of my emotions, meditate, exercise, read books, get close to nature, etc. When I know that my body is telling me in a way that "something is wrong with me," "you should let go of your mind and pay attention to your body," go talk to it, bring it support, and then thank my pain for taking care of your needs, I'm ready to embrace it!

When we calmly look at the facts, of course, this requires deliberate practice. The mind is a matter of taking things slowly, and it is also full of new discoveries and surprises—it's an amazing thing!

Our perception of the world is shaped by our interpretations, which are often based on our past experiences or wounds. But here's the good news: we can free ourselves from our unconscious and old patterns and see the world in a whole new way!

Absolutely! When we don't judge ourselves, we can ask ourselves: "Why did I interpret it that way?"

"Are there any other possibilities?" Absolutely! All genuine and pure emotions, feelings, and experiences are gifts from nature.

If you learn to capture them keenly and accept them openly, you will absolutely grow incredibly!

Blessings to you!

Greetings.

"Physical and mental health, always smiling"

It is evident that individuals place a significant emphasis on both physical and psychological aspects of health. Those who prioritize emotional well-being tend to be more attuned to their inner feelings. However, excessive sensitivity to these feelings can also lead to anxiety, which in turn affects mental health. Consequently, if we consistently focus on external cues, our body remains in a state of constant vigilance, resulting in depleted mental energy. Additionally, the inability to address anxiety-inducing factors can cause internal psychological distress and a pervasive negative emotional state.

How do you cope with anxiety regarding your health?

In the event that a check-up at a medical facility reveals physical deficiencies and health-related concerns, the individual in question must first undergo the recommended rehabilitation training, as directed by the attending physician. Conversely, if psychological factors are the primary influencing factors, affecting one's perception and evaluation of health, it is essential to address and reframe one's understanding of healthy living.

1. Examine your understanding of health and identify the source of your negative affect.

One might inquire as to whether there is a pervasive belief that one's physical condition is poor, which in turn impedes motivation to engage in other activities.

If one consistently perceives a correlation between one's physical condition and one's performance, it is worthwhile to consider how one's experience of well-being, both physically and mentally, may differ.

Such questioning can facilitate the discovery of previously unidentified psychological suggestions. Positive psychological suggestions can engender feelings of well-being and comfort, thereby enhancing one's capacity for efficiency in undertaking tasks. Conversely, negative psychological suggestions can precipitate negative thinking when confronted with challenges, leading to beliefs such as "I am unable to accomplish this" or "I will not succeed." The initial principle is to maintain an optimistic state of mind.

2. Confront your anxiety and enhance your mood.

As with self-awareness, our perception of health is informed by a reference system. When this feedback is unfavorable, our anxiety about our health and sense of well-being will correspondingly increase or decrease.

The discrepancy between one's own physical condition and that of others can lead to a sense of inadequacy and a lack of objectivity in self-assessment. It is important to recognize that while others may engage in activities such as sunbathing, surfing, and manual labor without experiencing negative emotions, one's own concerns about health can lead to a constant state of distress. This can hinder one's ability to assess their own situation objectively. It is essential to cultivate an accurate understanding of one's own health, without allowing comparisons to negatively impact one's self-perception. This can help prevent feelings of inadequacy and depression, which can hinder one's ability to maintain physical and mental health.

3. Mindfulness and meditation practices have been demonstrated to improve mood.

If, on weekdays, one is unable to discern the anxiety that unconscious thoughts engender, mindfulness and meditation can assist in reclaiming the peace and tranquility of the present moment. When our hearts are consumed by an excess of emotions, learning to care for our emotions and maintaining mindfulness practices can facilitate the conscious perception of the impact of emotions. By relaxing the body and feeling the breath, we can relieve tension and inner stress and maintain peace and tranquility.

It is important to recognize that challenges will inevitably arise in our lives. Enhancing our habits and cognition can facilitate the restoration of our well-being, enhance our problem-solving abilities, fortify our inner resilience, and cultivate acceptance of negative emotions. Moreover, maintaining an awareness of these processes and their benefits can further enhance the quality of our lives.

I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to persevere.

Hello there!

I really feel for you when I see that you are worried about your health and at the same time experiencing anxiety and depression.

I get it. You feel like you don't have strong enough physical fitness, and I totally understand why.

You said you're dealing with a lot of little issues and a lot of pain.

You also suffer from occasional insomnia, which makes you doubt whether you will get sick or not. Don't worry, we've all been there! Give yourself a warm hug to calm your anxious emotions.

It's totally normal to feel this way! We all have minor health issues from time to time. It's how we handle them that matters. #How to accept that your body is always prone to minor problems#

It's so important to keep up with your exercise routine while you're on vacation! Try to fit in some exercise during your trip and make sure you keep up with your daily routine when you get back.

And remember to eat lots of veggies! Or, if you're looking for something a little more balanced, go for a diet that includes a good mix of nutrients.

But don't worry! Normal people get sick, too. But if we pay attention to protection and maintain a regular routine, etc., we can increase our immunity.

Oh, I totally get it! When I see other people who are healthy, eating well, and in good shape, I can't help but envy them and wish I had a strong body like theirs. And you know what? When your body is healthy, your mental state will also improve significantly.

So, if you know you have a weak constitution and want to be healthy and strong, you need to take action and slowly start exercising.

I'm right there with you! I'm also weak in constitution and have a bit of low immunity right now. We must cherish our bodies even more and face the impact they bring on us positively.

I really feel like you and I have a lot in common, so I think we should keep up with our exercise routines together!

If you're feeling down, why not try something new and take up a hobby you'll enjoy?

You can also walk the dog or do whatever sport you like!

Our bodies will always have minor issues from time to time, and we totally get how worry, stress, and frustration can build up over time. But we can pay more attention and take more precautions.

We all want to stay healthy and avoid getting sick, so it's really important to take good care of ourselves.

It's so important to learn to take care of your body and your emotions.

It is said that you need a good attitude. I know it can be tough, but are you willing to believe in yourself and accept yourself? A good attitude really plays a part.

It's okay to feel nervous sometimes, but if you find yourself getting too worked up, it can actually make you tired. Try to relax a bit more and see if that helps.

Let's start exercising and improve slowly together. It takes some time to adjust, but we'll get there!

I really hope your body is healthy, you eat well, you smell good, and you're in tip-top shape!

I really hope what I said is helpful to you, my dear friend. ??

Hello, dear questioner!

I totally get where you're coming from because at one time I was in a similar situation to you:

"My body is always full of minor problems, and my mood is often anxious and depressed." At that time, I really envied other people's health and happiness.

I would absolutely love to share my personal experiences with you!

I really hope this will inspire you!

1. Give yourself a big hug! You are exactly who you should be.

I'd love to know when you first felt like you were physically weak.

Sometimes, we just accidentally plant such thoughts in our minds.

When you feel a little under the weather, it's totally normal to have a few minor ailments and not always feel as healthy as others.

I totally get it. We all have different levels of physical fitness, and that's totally normal.

On the other hand, we often find ourselves paying more attention to discomfort than we do to the good things our bodies are doing for us.

I've also asked people who seem very healthy if they really don't feel unwell.

They also tell me that sometimes I feel uncomfortable, but I don't pay much attention to it and I trust my body's amazing self-healing ability, so I always feel healthy and happy!

There's absolutely no need to fight against your current state and make yourself unhappy.

And don't forget to give yourself a little extra love and care! Look after your body and your emotions.

It's so interesting how health and minor physical ailments can be like two sides of the same coin!

It's so easy to get caught up in the little things that we forget how good we actually have it!

If we let ourselves relax a little and trust our body's wisdom, it'll be like our body is getting healthier and healthier!

From now on, instead of asking myself, "Why can't I be like other people?," I'm going to ask myself, "How can I make myself healthier and happier?"

You might not be able to become like that, but you can still make yourself healthier and happier than you are now!

You know, the more you accept yourself just as you are, the less internal conflict you'll experience, and the more focused you'll be on how to improve.

2. Change starts from the heart.

I just love the book "Change Starts from the Heart"! It's been so helpful for me.

There's a lovely interpretation by teacher Cong Feicong in the Yixinli Reading Club.

I really think you'd like this book, too!

When we're able to stay calm and in tune with our emotions, it's much less likely that we'll get sick.

You say, "My emotions also often include anxiety and depression, and I also have insomnia from time to time." Don't worry! Whenever this happens, although it might make us feel a bit uncomfortable, we can take a look and see what our emotions are trying to tell us.

Let's think about why we get anxious, for example.

It's totally normal to feel anxious when we perceive any uncertainty as a threat.

It's not about getting rid of anxiety, but rather re-evaluating it.

Moderate anxiety is actually a good thing!

When you're feeling anxious, it's always a good idea to ask yourself if your worries and concerns are maybe being a little bit exaggerated.

It's okay if you're feeling a little worried about what's to come. We all do from time to time. But are you letting your imagination run away with you?

Depression is like anger turned inward.

I've been wondering lately if we should reserve our aggression for ourselves. What do you think?

And the same goes for insomnia, too!

It's totally normal to have trouble sleeping sometimes!

So, we can always try to reinterpret our state and emotions.

No matter what's going on outside, you can always make yourself happy and achieve emotional harmony.

Don't suppress your feelings, and don't try to please everyone. Just be yourself!

This is such an exciting path of constant discovery!

You know, change happens when we try to connect with our emotions and our bodies.

Your body is there for you, my dear.

You've got to trust it and rely on it!

My dear, go for it! Try something different.

You've got this! Believe in your own strength and your own wisdom.

You have the power to decide what kind of life you want to lead.

I wish you the very best of luck!

Good day!

From what you've shared, I can see that you're experiencing some anxiety and nervousness. I can relate to the feeling of wanting to be as healthy and happy as many people.

Have you ever considered the possibility that being healthy and happy is also a kind of ability?

Your situation is reminiscent of my own a few years ago, when I embarked on an entrepreneurial venture with a close associate. I was experiencing a great deal of mental fatigue during that period, which was compounded by feelings of being misunderstood, lacking a voice, and uncertain about my role within the company. This internal turbulence eventually led to a nervous breakdown, and I found myself grappling with significant self-doubt.

As a result of the accumulation of emotions, my immunity declined during those years, and I experienced various physical issues, including persistent coughing and hiccups.

It wasn't until I came into contact with psychology that I began to understand my own inherent thinking patterns and realized that they were preventing me from seeing myself clearly and causing me to lose myself. I slowly began to learn how to become aware of my emotions and accept them.

By studying psychology, I was able to make some positive changes in my life. I noticed that some of the symptoms I had been experiencing, such as a persistent cough and hiccups, gradually started to improve.

I am grateful that through my own efforts at self-improvement, I have been able to contribute to the positive transformation of my partner and my family.

I hope that sharing my experience will show you that being healthy and happy is something we can all learn to do.

I hope this is helpful for you! Best wishes!
