Motion – Mind, Body, and Spirit

Mind-Body Connection

Movement or motion is crucial for our body, no matter what we are going through. The movement puts your mind at peace and along with that, it keeps your body healthy. 

  • If you can run, you should run. 
  • If you are not able to run, you should walk. 
  • If you cannot walk on your own, use assistive devices but walk. 

Our brain controls the movement we do. If our brain is not functioning well, the movement gets a bit difficult.

The brain is the control center and is connected to our body parts. So whenever you move, a signal is generated from your brain that travels down to your body.

What is Mind?

We usually hear the two words, brain and mind, and are used synonymously. But they are different from each other. So what exactly is the difference between these two?

The difference between the brain and mind can become clear quickly if you know about computers and windows. The computer is hardware, and windows is the software that operates the computer.

The brain is a matter present in our skull, and the mind is the operating system that controls this piece of matter. In other words, our brain is the computer, and the mind is the software that runs it.

The mind consists of mental states such as thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes, and the brain allows us to experience these mental states.

Why is Mind-Body Connection Important?

Like computers or mobile phones having different software operate differently, the same thing applies to our mind-body connection.

We all have a brain, but our minds are different. Our emotions are different, and every one of us responds differently to different situations around us.

That’s why having a sad mood or depression can result in lethargic feelings in your body. Though depression and your muscles do not directly connect, depression affects the mind and mind, influences your brain, and feels symptoms in your body.

The same thing happens when you are in a good mood. You feel a tremendous amount of energy in your body, and you have no idea where it is coming from. It is your mind that is sending indirect signals to your body.

Tips for Improving Mind-Body Connection

As mentioned before, maintaining your mind and body connection is crucial for your overall health. That’s why you must be familiar with the ways that improve your mind and body connection.
