Why
is our physical health more important than our Emotional Fitness and Psychological Health?
Why is it we have medicine cabinets for common physical injuries like cuts and colds but no toolkits for common psychological injuries such as failure, rejection, guilt, and loss?
Well, now we do!
You know by now to be truly “fit” we need to close the gap between our physical and emotional health or we will never have real, sustained wellness and happiness.
Thank you Dr. Guy Winch for your important and powerful work and book: Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt and Failure and Other Every Day Hurts.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this book is how it talks about that LONELINESS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO ACTUALLY KILL YOU and distorts our thinking from reality. And I love how most importantly, Dr. Winch teaches us how to overcome the unwanted feelings and what to do about it.
Chronic loneliness increases the likelihood of an early death by 14% and causes high bp, high cholesterol and suppresses the immune system functioning!
Plus scientists now regard chronic loneliness to be as significant a risk to long term health as cigarettes!
This is why we must prioritize our psychological health.
