Dr. Bensons work is based on the inseparable connection between our mind and our body. Up until the 1940’s it was believed that the mind and body, though they’re inside of one place together, were separate things. That the mind and the body didn’t really connect. That what’s going on inside of your mind didn’t really affect your body, and that what your body does didn’t affect your mind. That’s not true.

The complicated interactions that take place between thinking, emotions, the body and the outside world, integrate together, a modern scientific medicine of the interaction of physiology, nutrition, exercise, thinking, belief patterns, capabilities, and using nature. The end result is a self-care process that is a compliment to the conventional path and interaction of medicine, surgery, and pharmaceuticals.

No one is completely certain how social networks help you stay healthy. Although some research has shown that men and women who live alone tend to eat less well and don’t tend to get as much exercise. Those people who have better social connections tend to build a stronger immune system from that interaction and getting out and doing things.

“We are still trying to understand the totality of this.” says Dr. Vaillant.

He said, “People who use overuse alcohol or are depressed, are less likely to have effective social support and thus their personal relationships are an indicator that things are not going as well in their lives. That doesn’t mean you can never drink, it just means that over doing it when you’re alone is often an indicator that things in your life are not quite where you want them to be.”

More Than Genetics

The first writings on the brain were in China, approximately 2000 BC. Both Socrates and Aristotle contemplated the brain and its totality of function. Leonardo da Vinci, during the renaissance began to discuss how the brain and the body worked together.

Beginning in the early 1800s, medicine was advancing rapidly and people began to wonder about the brain, body, mind continuum and overall health. Towards the end of 1800s many different people; both philosophers and doctors, began to look at how can we better access and use the brain’s potential to expand knowledge, boost health, and overall create a more effective life.

Don’t give up too soon. There are times when we are so close and we just can’t quite get over the hump. Thomas Edison once said “Most people stop just before they get to success.” Don’t be that way. Don’t give up too soon, be persistent, be tenacious, and hang in there.

Do try to understand how the odds fluctuate up and down, know the things that influence the risk, use the odds that are in your favor. If something changes, observe it, pay attention, don’t take action till you’re absolutely certain, but when it’s time then step in and go.

Getting The Gold Medal

Let’s look at some of the Do’s and Don’ts of taking a risk.

You do have to have a goal. Any risk taken without a clear purpose, without a specific step-by-step plan, tangible, action-oriented, visible, etc. is in for trouble. You have to have a goal. It needs to be clear and you have to know what you’re trying to get to.

Do know the losses that are potentially involved. If you don’t expect loss and it happens it’s going to catch you by surprise and undermine your efforts. In order to achieve anything new, you have to give-up something else. What are you trading off? What are the things you are losing or leaving behind?
