Gratitude is an expression of the heart

In HeartMath study it was observed that just five minutes of genuinely feeling a positive emotion such as appreciation, care and or compassion can give a beneficial boost to the immune system. Their researchers have also found that positive emotions like appreciation can increase heart-rhythm coherence. Coherence is a balance or smoothness in one’s heart rhythms.

Gratitude can also have a protective effect against heart attacks according to researchers at the University of Connecticut. When observing people who had experienced one heart attack, the researchers found that those patients who acknowledged benefits from their heart attack, such as becoming more appreciative of life, experienced a lower risk of having another heart attack.

Positive emotion-refocusing techniques, like those researched and developed by HeartMath, can create a physiological shift in individuals such as changing one’s heart rhythms to a healthier pattern. The techniques can also help individuals effectively replace stressful thoughts and emotional patterns with positive perceptions and emotions like appreciation. HeartMath experts say this is a fundamental step in improving one’s overall health and sense of well-being.

I remember a time when I was too tired to take time for myself, wait a minute, I think that was last night! No, I did make it to the gym, finally! Do you ever feel that you take of everyone but yourself? Why is that? I am reading a great book right now, The Art of Extreme Self-Care by Cheryl Richardson, I think she wrote it for me! I read the part over and over again where her coach asked her to tell him about her life, her schedule with filled with work and many efforts where she was giving back and helping others. Her coach said, “Wow, you do a great job of taking care of a lot of people. You’re such a good person.” “But your “good girl’ role is going to rob you of your life.” What we don’t realize-until it’s too late-is the high price we pay for being “so generous”… a price extracted from our very bones. I’ve been there and seem to fall back into this place often, that’s why I keep reading the book. So I decided to start a group for women based on self care so we could share and learn together how to take better care of ourselves more info at http://www.inspirewellness.net/?page_id=325&preview=true
