The body of a person clearly shows how it is about health, well-being and happiness in life. Therefore, it is even more important to listen to the inner voice of the body and to take warning signals seriously. We present typical warning signals of the body here.
First signs that something is wrong
Many people have already made acquaintance with those small, initially unspectacular signals of the body that want to warn us.
There are, for example, the persistent stomach aches that have appeared every morning since the promotion to department head, or the frequent headache attacks that noticeably impair concentration and well-being. Even many a skin rash, persistent cough or back pain wants to show that something is wrong.
Warning signals of a disturbed balance
Fortunately, a visit to the doctor often reveals that there is no serious illness behind symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, stomach cramps, or constant sniffles.
Rather, these complaints are often an expression that the body, mind and soul are not in balance. In other words, persistent stress, mental strain, constant excessive demands or a lack of relaxation overshadow our well-being.

Stress influences health
It is now known that there is a connection between stress and health. While most people can cope well with a certain amount of hectic activity and everyday chaos, persistent or severe mental stress can make people downright ill.
In this context, the constant argument with the neighbors can hit the health just as much as the separation from the partner or even the feeling of no longer being able to cope with the demands of everyday life.
Stressed and permanently ill
Too much physical or mental stress has also been shown to weaken the immune system and then result in frequent respiratory infections. While adults are normally plagued by a cold about twice a year, many stressed contemporaries feel as if they are no longer really fit at all in winter.
When one cold follows the next, it’s time to visit the doctor and certainly time to – finally – take the body’s signals seriously. Many sufferers can’t avoid changing a few lifestyle habits to get the body’s defenses working smoothly again.
The skin as a mirror of the soul
It is also quite possible that the skin draws attention to stress or grief. Expressions such as “this gets under my skin” or “I could go off the deep end” indicate how much the skin and the soul are connected. It is not uncommon for psychological stress to be the cause of skin blemishes.
There are also connections between some skin diseases and the emotional balance. A typical example is neurodermatitis, which can be aggravated by emotional stress. Eczema formation and itching can increase when the soul suffers.
Skin diseases are psychologically stressful
The reverse is also true: pronounced visible and painful skin diseases can greatly affect the psyche. For this reason, many skin diseases are now treated holistically.
Corresponding treatment concepts assume, among other things, that not only the diseased skin needs medication, but also the cracked soul is in need of help.
Healthy skin with balance
Fortunately, the skin reflects not only mental stress, but also joy of life and inner satisfaction. If a person “glows with happiness” or “feels completely comfortable in his skin,” everything indicates that his world is in order.
