The body has no way to discern perceived danger from real danger. It just responds to the current situation. So, a person who's always anxious is constantly feeling the physiological effects of their anxiety.
This subsidies during sleep, and when you wake up, it comes back when your focus shifts back to the 'anxious mindset'
Or said another way
The body responds to the mind. If you aren't mentally healthy, it can reak havok on your body
Mind, Body, and Life are deeply connected 😌

@DaveMacLachlan1 I’m sure everyone is saying Long Cool Woman or The Long And Winding Road, but my fave is “Take The Long Way Home” by Supertramp cause there were two ways to get home when mom would take me for groceries. We’d take the long way home so we could sing to the radio/tapes more
Delighted to share with you our latest paper. Here, we test the hypothesis that aging may be driven by DNA damage-induced changes to the epigenome. Mightbe due to a glitch in the software of the body that causes it to malfunction, which can be fixed with a reboot?👇 1/
