The mind body connection is very strong and we may feel we're doing well in one area or the other but an area might think differently :-) It's hard with people since our head is not all thoughts/feelings but has all kinds of body stuff happening with chemicals and nutrients (or lack of ) and the body is the same way, not just a body acting like a broken leg but also gaining weight or breaking down in spots, sacrificing itself so the head or heart (or other organs) can survive. Reading Deepak Chopra when he first became known got me feeling a whole lot better about my body and understanding the mind body connection a bit better for myself.
