Your body is the best source of useful, natural Biochemicals. Mother Nature set it up that way. Why not use them to the fullest? They are always available, you don’t have to drive anywhere to access your source, they do not cost anything AND they are your most effective support system for the positive, emotional, and physical results you seek.
Biochemicals occur naturally in nature, which means they naturally occur in your own body.
Let’s see what this means for you.
Your body is already equipped to deal with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Your body is a SURVIVOR and has the ADAPTIVE potential you need to meet stressors effectively. There are many such Biochemicals, so let’s review but a few:
SEROTONIN regulates mood, sleep and digestion. When activated, you feel positive, confident, flexible and easy going.
ENDORPHINS are soothing and reduce pain. They are your own, natural pain-killer and they do not have side effects. Relaxation Therapy generates a good dose of endorphins.
OXYTOCIN promotes nurturing behaviors.
VASOPRESSIN supports pair bonding in males.
ADRENLINE provides power and focus.
DOPAMINE is utilized by all the reward centers in your brain.
MELATONIN is a hormone produced by the pineal gland; a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles.
These Biochemicals are readily available in your body and are designed to serve your health and happiness needs. ACTIVATE THEM!
The following is an example of how you can do this:
When you do Relaxation Therapy and do Deep Rhythmic Breathing, the breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, which then sends messages to your brain which then generates your own, naturally produced tranquillizer.
This is one of the many good reasons to do Relaxation Therapy on a regular daily basis. When you have developed Relaxation Skills, you can achieve the same result without the MP3 file or Audio CD. Practice, practice and more practice and you will get there, perhaps sooner than you think.
Remember, you ARE what you think. You BECOME what you do.
