Cut Yourself A Break, Enjoy Better Health
Dear Reader,
We all deal with stress in our lives... bad commutes, trouble at work or home... there's an interesting, rather unexpected, thought process that has been found to offer relief from this type of stress. Researchers have uncovered a link between a self-compassionate (give yourself a break) attitude and lower levels of inflammation brought by stress. Such a discovery could be the beginnings of new techniques to ease stress and do better for our health and longevity.
Experts have long
understood that psychological stress can bring a biological response that's similar to illness or injury and this includes inflammation. Inflammation can be used by the body to fight infection, promote healing, it's only when this inflammation is not regulated that issues like cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and cancer become a danger.
It's certainly something to think about. How often do you treat yourself with the same kindness, caring and understanding you show to a good friend,
perhaps even a virtual stranger? Compassion is an easy thing to show to others; showing it to yourself doesn't come as readily. The knee jerk reaction is that treating yourself this way makes you lazy, selfish, weak when in fact the very opposite is true.
Self-compassion includes things like self-forgiveness and just cutting yourself a bit of slack sometimes, admitting your flaws to yourself but not beating yourself up about them. Those who are self compassionate appear not as likely to
blame themselves for stressors beyond their control, be more willing to move on from a fight rather than dwelling on the disagreement and imagined consequences.
To learn more about the link between self compassion and inflammatory reactions to stress, a psychology professor from Brandeis University, Nicolas Rohleder, led a team who asked 41 participants to rank just how self compassionate they were.
Some of the statements the subjects choose from included
-
I try to be understanding/patient to aspects of my personality I don't like.
-
I'm disapproving/judgmental about my own flaws and inadequacies

Are Your Genetics Keeping You Fat? (1 tip to change fast)
Ever heard the excuse "I'm overweight because of my genetics"? Are several members of your family overweight and you just figured, you were stuck that way too? Well, I have great news. Recent studies reveal that being overweight has NOTHING to do with genetics and EVERYTHING to do with your lifestyle. BUT, if you make the wrong choices… well, you know how that ends.

Cut Yourself A Break, Enjoy Better Health Continued...
After this, the subjects took a single stress test a day for two days, while
levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) that's an inflammatory agent tied to stress were
recorded both before and after each of the stress tests. After the initial test
those who had higher self-compassion also had far lower levels of IL-6.
On the second day of testing, Rohleder and the team saw something they hadn't expected. Those with low self-compassion had higher baseline levels of IL-6 before the stressful test. Had they carried the stress from the day before with them into the next exam? The high response of IL-6 on the first test day, and then higher baseline levels on the second day suggest that those who have low self compassion are especially vulnerable to the bad effects of this type of stress. We also see how easy
it is for stress to build over time... a small daily stressor can impact your health if you don't have some strategies in place to deal with it.
This study, funded by The American Federation of Aging Research, points out how important stress management really is. It eases the negative emotions but also fosters positive things like self-compassion. The research on self-compassion and stress appears in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.
To your good health,

P.S: There's a knock at the door. You peak through the curtains... a neighbor you weren't expecting.
You cast an eye over the room - it's a total mess! Shall you pretend to be out...?
We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our homes.
Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter, one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?
Now you can.
