attitude: your first line of defense
was chatting with someone at work today... and we got to talking about people's attitudes/personalities and their susceptability to illness.
We were talking about different people we know, and how they handle stress. Some people, like ourselves and some others we know, handle stress very well and don't let things get to us - it's very hard for anything to break our good moods. OThers we work with and know seem to take the full brunt of stress - you can see it in their body and energy - they just seem frayed and frazzled in the face of stress. Those people also seem to be sick, in bad moods, or get headaches FAR more often than those who deal with stress better.
We talked about reasons for that - tracing it back to body energy and relaxation. Better energy flow withing your body, from a relaxed and stress-coping attitude, seems to bring a life that is far, far less affected by minor illnesses like colds, flus, and headaches.
Just felt like putting those thoughts in words.
reply if you can see the same thing with people you know, or with any comments you'd like to put forward
