Part 4/7:
Mental and physical health intertwine seamlessly. Patterns of thought can influence physical well-being. One's mindset can shape health outcomes, and as such, it’s vital to care for one’s mental state regardless of physical ailments. Self-torture is a grave issue; the mind, when left unchecked, can become a tormentor rather than a friend. This self-infliction of suffering can be likened to a fetus being tormented—helpless and vulnerable.
Health should not be compromised through neglect or misguided attempts at self-healing. Seeking medical assistance when necessary, while also being mindful of one’s thoughts, creates a more holistic approach to health and well-being.
