I always feel low and negative. Don't know the reason behind it. Why? Any solution?

Hi,

Various scientific researches have shown that both the mind and the body are connected. If you consume a healthy diet, sleep well exercise and meditate it helps to calm down the mind.

The mind and body are connected by many nerves and veins, the most important being the Vagus Nerve. This connects the brain and spinal cord. This controls all the actions which are not under our control, like digestion, anxiety, panic attacks, blood pressure, etc. When the body is experiencing stressful situations the vagus nerve is unable to send a response to the brain to relax. Therefore, if the body is under stress, (which might be because of improper eating habits, since the body has to remove more toxins to maintain a balance)and due to this there are negative emotions, decreased immunity and poor digestion. But, when we are in a relaxed state the body gets the signal to repair and heal and maintain a balance. Anything like even lack of sleep, insufficient exercise or wrong eating habits can disturb this balance. This, in turn, affects the way you manage and perceive situations and manage emotions. Meditation is proven to help control thoughts. Also, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes.

Certain lifestyle changes would help assist you:

• This includes the removal of all animal products including dairy, removal of packed and processed, oily and sugary foods. This creates an overload of toxins and disturbs the balance of the body.
• Include lots of raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. They all contain essential vitamins and minerals for the normal functioning of the body.
• Exposure to sunshine and proper rest and sleep are also of prime importance. They release happy hormones, and in a relaxed state, the body can repair and heal.
• Manage stress either by some physical activity or deep breathing. This calms the body down. This helps the body to repair and heal.
• Adequate sleep. The body repairs and heals during sleep.
• Positive thinking helps to create positive vibes around you and automatically you would get rid of negative thoughts and anxiety.
• Practice the art of surrendering. Kindly read the blog to understand more.

Hey Meghna,

Whenever we talk about being low or any sort of negativity it is somewhere there is any kind of void in our mind or the kind of perceptions we have towards ourself which is self-deprecating then the negativity starts coming in. The main advice I tell you to take this 3-way method and you shall see the results,

1. Take up a hobby

Indulging yourself in something new where you find yourself is completely relaxing and comforting. Start something you have never learnt before and you shall start getting interested in the new things. The best part about learning a hobby is the best thing as it breaks the routine and makes us something to look forward daily.

2. Diet

This is not something new you have heard but you have to work on your diet to feel mindful and relaxing. Eat more green leafy vegetables and diet rich in minerals like seeds and nuts help in building up your mental aura around you stronger and healthier.

3. Essential oils

Including smells like rose, lavender, orange and lemon in your room and see the magic of these on your mental health. Clean up your area, light the room with scented candles immersed n the oils and see your home and you get all refreshed.

With these three advice, my most important tip would be to go out, walk on grass barefoot and be in touch with yourself. 

Hope Meghna, this advice surely help you in feeling positive and refreshed.

Thank you

Meditation and daily body exercise.

Yes, 15-minute meditation will help.

 

Feeling low, negative vibes are all associated with anxiety and depression, etc. Natural therapies and Yoga have very best methods to deal with these.

Anxiety is a physiological problem that is caused by the chaotic world. Anxiety prepares a person to be aware of danger ahead and be prepared to face it. At times when we fail to check it at the right time, it might harm the quality of life, mainly the mental wellness and thereby affecting the physical wellness leading to various ailments.

Anxiety and negative vibes often are conjoined with each other in a person suffering from either of them. They fall hand in hand with each other and the impact would be immense

Some natural ways to get rid of it, namely

1. Stay active and cultivate a habit of regularly exercising, which is good for your physical and emotional health. 
2. Don't drink alcohol. Alcohol is considered to be a natural sedative and avoiding its best policy.
3. Stop smoking and social drugs. Consumption of these could increase anxiety-related ailments.

7. Eat a healthy diet. Consumption of less oil, white food items (white sugar, maida, salt) sugared drinks, junk foods, spices could also benefit.
