Happiness is essential to overall health and to your weight loss and fitness success.  When you are not experiencing Happiness and a Positive Mental Attitude, then you are experiencing too much negative stress.  Why is this a problem?  Well our bodies are amazing and can adapt to many circumstances, but the goal of our bodies is always to SURVIVE.

To survive, our bodies will eliminate many essential life processes.  For example: Amenorrhea (menstruation stopping) happens to many women athletes when they are training too hard, not eating correctly, and not recovering.  Both of these factors over stress the body.  The body realizes that it could not handle a pregnancy so it eliminates the possiblity.  Animals in nature do the same thing.  It’s all about survival.

The same thing can happen in our lives.  Our ancient ancestors, did not have nearly the stress levels we have.  Articles I have ready state the amount of stress we have in a month, they experienced in an entire year!!  When we are in negative situations, like a bad job, bad relationship, bad living condition, anthing that eliminates our happiness puts us in a state of constant stress.

That constant stress is always nagging at our bodies.  It’s causing us to excrete more stress hormones, we lose sleep, we make poor eating choices, we don’t eat, we don’t have the energy to exercise, we lack self love, we lack passion, the list goes on and on.  The bodies response is SURVIVAL.  So if your goal is to lose weight or train for an event, and Happiness is not there well good luck.  The bodies first priority is ALWAYS SURVIVAL.  You will not lose weight or your body will break down to put you to a halt.

Analyzing Your Happiness is a little out of my scope of practice.  However, step back and look at your life.  Are you happy?  Are you living the life of your dreams?  Are you living your purpose?  Do you feel passionate and excited?  Do you feel peaceful?

If you aren’t, then it’s time for a change.  And change is possible.  Evaluate your Happiness and realize that it is a vital compenent of your health!
