Stress Induced Illnesses
Treatment & Prevention

Do you suffer from stress induced illnesses? If you're feeling sick, it may not always be easy to determine why. For the most part, those who battle anxiety, stress, and depression don't even realize that their chronic headaches, or flue-like illnesses, or lower back aches were brought on by their mental state.

But that's also very good news, because it means we have more control over our health than we might have originally thought.

Not only can we eat right, sleep right, take our vitamins and exercise, but we can see positive health effects from thinking right too!

Stress induced illnesses can come in just about any form. Stress essentially wears down a person's immune system, rendering them susceptible to all kinds of diseases. There's even scientific research that links some cancers to stress. Stress doesn't typically act alone, but it can exacerbate a situation.

If you get sick often, then that might be a sign that you are enduring stress induced illnesses.

So how do you cure these stress induced illnesses? Well, the key is really to prevent them from happening altogether.

Just as you'd take care of your body, you must nurture your mind as well.

Dr. Orison Swett Marden was the person who introduced this concept to America in the 1900's. He published a series of self-help books that urged readers to not compartmentalize their physical and emotional health.

He believed a person's thoughts, worries, fears, etc, had just as much of an effect on his or her physical ailments as not eating right, etc. He also taught, most obviously in his classic “Thoughts About Good Cheer,” that positive thoughts chased away depression and could help a person endure any kind of circumstance in their lives, no matter how seemingly desperate.

If you're interested in Dr. Marden's many other words of wisdom, you can listen to five of his most inspirational books by downloading them online with the Leadership Series For Successful Living.

After all, if your mind is overloaded with negative thoughts, fearful expectations, and endless, paralyzing worry, then you have little reason not to give Dr. Marden a listen!

Very few so-called self-help gurus of today have advice that is as reasonable and eloquently-delivered as Dr. Mardens'.
