I believe negative thinking has a very negative side affect. It makes sense, doesn't it? Vancouver Oncologist, Karen Gelmon, explains this theory in greater detail; "What happens with our body is a matter of flow-there is input, and there is output, and you can't control every aspect of it... it's not a battle, it's a push-pull phenomenon of finding balance and harmony." We learned in health science that the part of our brain that controls our thinking, motivation, and aggression is the frontal lobe.
Dr. Gabor Mate connects this theory with some of his patients. The first one he talks about doesn't understand why she has cancer when she has eaten healthy, exercised well, and led a healthy life. The one area she overlooked was her stress level. Dr. Mate states that, "if we gain the ability to look into ourselves with honesty, compassion and with unclouded vision, we can identify the ways we need to take care of ourselves." This makes complete sense because someone else's advice may be the complete wrong path for you. If you could figure out how to solve a problem by listening to your body, things would be a lot easier to figure out. The easier you can slide by obstacles, the less stressed you are. With less stress clouding your brain, the less likely you are to be diagnosed with some disease.
