The Mind Body Connection

Thanks to Martin Feaver of Positive Image Fitness for last night's talk on The Mind Body Connection. This was the perfect conclusion to a run of three speakers starting with QJ, The Inspirationist, followed by Dr Jason Gould with his Back Pain and Business Workshop and now Martin.

A fascinating topic on how the body reflects the state of mind and vice versa. A prime example being how your posture, whilst sitting at your desk, reflects how you are feeling at that moment in time and how your body then compounds the problem of sitting awkwardly.

For instance you might be sitting at your desk, as you're reading this, feeling stressed and without realising your shoulders are hunched and you're slumped forward in your chair. This posture is limiting your ability to breathe properly, in turn reducing your intake of air and restricking oxygen to the brain, making you tired.

Now try telling yourself that you will organise your work even more efficiently than normal, will get it finished in good time and meet all your deadlines. How does that make you feel?! Do you feel a little weight lifted off of your shoulders and that bit more relaxed?

If not then I'm afraid I can't help you but I'm sure Martin probably could! Why not get in contact with him to talk about the many ways the mind and body and connected.
