Cancer is a war that needs all the resources of heaven and earth to fight. It is well known that moods and behaviors have biological consequences. Your mind activates other chemical reactions and reactions within your body that are affected by your moods. Research continues to document that optimistic attitudes improve the overall immune response of your body to help you protect yourself against your disease. Below are several methods of positive thought.
Does a positive attitude affect cancer?
There are a lot of emotions associated with cancer patient and their families. They have the pressure of having a “good attitude” at all times, which sometimes is unrealistic. People who have cancer can get the strength from within themselves, from other people or both. Depression, guilt, sadness, guilt, fear, and anxiety are all ways of grieving and learning with life changes. As a cancer patient, try to ignore all the above feelings. Never try to blame yourself and always be positive as it will have a positive effect on how your body will respond to cancer treatment. This is because the power of the mind controls any disease.
From research conducted about cancer and attitude, scientists observed more than 1000 patients with neck and head cancer to check whether attitude affected their survival. Overall, those with stable emotions showed lower cancer growth rates and a longer life span when compared to those with uncontrolled emotions.
Use Natural Medicine to Improve Your Mood
Natural medicines can be used to help keep you calm and improve your mood. Natural herbal remedies can have a calming affect. Acupuncture causes a large release of endorphins (nature’s ‘feel good’ hormone) to keep you feeling calm and relaxed. Natural therapies like these can be a great adjust to any Western medical treatment you are receiving.
‘Animal Therapy’
Pets can provide great comfort to you if you are living with cancer. The warmth of a purring cat. The unconditional love and admiration of a dog. They can make you feel so good – so loved – so relaxed.
Surround Yourself with Positive People and Positive Energy
Always be around friends and family members who will bring a smile to your face. When all the weight is on your shoulders, family and friends will be like a ray of sunshine, and they will reduce the burden. Friends will inspire you and support you when you need them. They will be there to talk about your deepest fears. Also, the people around your life will give you positive energy such as uplifting music, and inspirational books that can add an extra layer of buoyancy to hold you afloat when you’re getting cancer treatment.
