Your body starts falling apart, too.
0:03
Maybe you catch colds more often, your
0:05
back starts hurting, or you just can't
0:07
seem to recover from simple things. What
0:09
if I told you that your emotional health
0:11
isn't just connected to your physical
0:13
health? It might be the key to unlocking
0:16
real healing.
0:18
Science now shows us that our thoughts,
0:20
feelings, and emotional habits shape the
0:22
very cells in our body. So, if you've
0:25
been doing all the right things, eating
0:27
clean, working out, taking supplements,
0:30
but still feel stuck, this is the video
0:33
you didn't know you needed. Welcome to
0:35
Top 10's You Should Know, your home for
0:38
powerful truths and real self-growth.
0:40
Today, we're revealing the top 10
0:42
emotional health habits that boost
0:44
physical healing so you can finally feel
0:46
like your whole self again.
0:49
One, practicing daily gratitude.
0:51
Gratitude isn't just a feel-good habit.
0:53
It rewires your brain and literally
0:56
lowers inflammation in your body. When
0:59
you wake up each morning and take even
1:01
five minutes to reflect on what you're
1:03
thankful for, you shift your body from a
1:05
stress-based survival mode into a
1:07
healing state. Your nervous system
1:09
calms, cortisol levels drop, and your
1:12
heart rate slows. It's not magic, it's
1:14
biology. People who practice gratitude
1:16
consistently have stronger immune
1:18
responses, better heart health, and even
1:20
reduced symptoms of chronic illness. And
1:23
let's be honest, when you focus on
1:25
what's right instead of what's missing,
1:27
your entire energy shifts, you move
1:29
through life with more peace and less
1:31
resistance. That peace, that's where
1:34
healing begins. Two, letting yourself
1:37
feel without judgment. Too often, we
1:40
bottle things up. We say we're fine when
1:43
we're breaking inside. But emotions that
1:45
go unexpressed don't just disappear.
1:48
They bury themselves deep in your body
1:49
and become tension, illness, or pain.
1:53
One of the most powerful emotional
1:54
health habits is allowing yourself to
1:56
feel your feelings without guilt or
1:59
shame. That means crying when you need
2:01
to, yelling into a pillow if you must,
2:03
or sitting quietly with your sadness
2:06
instead of numbing it. When you validate
2:08
your emotions, you're actually
2:10
regulating your nervous system. This
2:13
teaches your brain that emotions are
2:14
safe. And when your brain feels safe,
2:17
your body can relax and start healing.
2:19
Repression causes stress. Expression
2:22
leads to relief. Three, setting
2:25
boundaries to protect your energy.
2:27
Healing isn't just about what you take
2:28
in. It's also about what you keep out.
2:31
If you're constantly overwhelmed, saying
2:33
yes when you mean no, or giving your
2:35
energy to toxic people or situations,
2:37
your body never gets a chance to rest.
2:40
Chronic stress weakens your immune
2:41
system and slows tissue repair. But when
2:44
you start honoring your limits and
2:46
creating healthy boundaries, your body
2:48
can finally let its guard down. Saying
2:50
no isn't selfish. It's sacred. It's an
2:53
emotional detox that gives your body
2:55
permission to stop fighting and start
2:57
rebuilding. Four, deep, conscious
3:00
breathing. We underestimate how powerful
3:03
breath is. It's the only bodily function
3:05
that's both automatic and under our
3:07
control, which means it's our built-in
3:10
reset button. When you practice deep
3:13
intentional breathing like box breathing
3:15
or 4 to 78 breathing, you activate the
3:18
parasympathetic nervous system, also
3:20
known as your rest and digest mode. This
3:23
literally slows your heartbeat, reduces
3:25
blood pressure, and sends healing
3:27
signals throughout your body. Plus,
3:29
breath work helps you release stuck
3:31
emotional trauma without even needing
3:33
words. A single deep breath can take you
3:36
from panic to peace. And over time,
3:38
those tiny moments of calm compound into
3:41
real physical transformation.
3:43
Five, surrounding yourself with
3:46
emotionally safe people. You can drink
3:48
all the green juice in the world, but if
3:51
you're constantly around people who
3:52
criticize, shame, or stress you out,
3:54
your healing will hit a wall. Emotional
3:57
safety is one of the most underrated
3:58
healing factors. When you're around
4:00
people who accept you fully, who listen,
4:03
support, and let you be human, your body
4:06
feels safe enough to let go of tension,
4:08
repair damage, and restore balance.
4:10
Connection reduces inflammation, boosts
4:12
oxytocin, the love hormone, and even
4:15
improves digestion and heart function.
4:17
So, take a look at who you're letting
4:19
into your world. Healing requires
4:21
supportive energy, not toxic energy.
4:24
Number six, moving your body with
4:26
intention, not punishment. When most
4:29
people think of movement, they
4:30
immediately picture intense workouts,
4:32
sweat pouring down and pushing through
4:34
pain. But real healing movement, it's
4:37
about intention, not punishment. You
4:40
don't have to run marathons or lift
4:42
heavy weights to support your physical
4:44
and emotional well-being. Sometimes the
4:46
most powerful thing you can do for your
4:48
body is to move gently, lovingly, and in
4:52
tune with how you feel, not how you
4:54
think you should look. Whether it's
4:56
yoga, a slow morning stretch, a walk in
4:58
the park, or dancing freely in your
5:00
living room, movement becomes healing
5:02
when it's grounded in connection, not
5:05
criticism. Every time you move, you help
5:08
your body circulate blood, release
5:10
toxins, stimulate your lymphatic system,
5:12
and even unlock emotional trauma stored
5:15
deep in your muscles, especially in
5:17
areas like the hips, chest, or jaw.
5:19
Movement also produces mood lifting
5:21
chemicals like dopamine, endorphins, and
5:24
serotonin. your body's natural
5:26
painkillers and emotional balancers. And
5:28
the most beautiful part, it's not about
5:31
burning calories, it's about coming home
5:33
to your body. So instead of forcing
5:35
yourself to work out as a form of
5:37
self-punishment, what if you moved today
5:39
just to feel good? What if you honored
5:41
your body with flow instead of force?
5:44
Seven, practicing forgiveness for
5:47
yourself and others. Holding on to
5:49
resentment is like drinking poison and
5:51
expecting the other person to suffer.
5:54
Whether it's pain from the past or guilt
5:56
over something you did, forgiveness is a
5:58
radical act of healing.
6:01
It doesn't mean forgetting or excusing.
6:03
It means releasing the emotional grip
6:06
that's draining your body of energy.
6:08
Chronic anger and bitterness can raise
6:10
blood pressure, weaken immunity, and
6:12
increase your risk of disease. But
6:14
letting go, really letting go, creates
6:16
space for peace, clarity, and health.
6:19
The moment you forgive, you stop
6:21
bleeding energy and start regaining your
6:23
power. Eight, laughing often and fully.
6:27
Laughter might seem like just a reaction
6:28
to something funny, but in reality, it's
6:31
one of your body's most powerful and
6:32
underrated medicines. When you laugh,
6:35
especially those deep belly laughs that
6:38
make your eyes tear up and your stomach
6:39
cramp, you're doing so much more than
6:42
enjoying the moment. You're triggering a
6:44
chain reaction of healing inside your
6:46
body. Laughter instantly lowers
6:49
cortisol, the stress hormone, and
6:51
increases endorphins, those beautiful
6:53
feel-good chemicals that help reduce
6:54
pain and promote relaxation. It boosts
6:57
immunity, relaxes tense muscles,
6:59
improves circulation, and even
7:01
oxygenates your brain and organs. And
7:04
emotionally, laughter breaks through
7:07
heaviness like sunshine through dark
7:08
clouds. It softens your heart, clears
7:11
your mind, and reminds you that life,
7:13
even with all its chaos, still holds
7:16
moments of joy. Surrounding yourself
7:18
with humor, playful people, uplifting
7:20
movies, silly pets, or just giving
7:23
yourself permission to not take things
7:24
so seriously can transform your
7:26
emotional landscape. And guess what? You
7:29
don't even need a reason to laugh. Nine,
7:32
talking kindly to yourself. Your body
7:34
hears everything you say to it. that
7:36
inner critic, that constant you're not
7:39
good enough voice, it creates stress
7:41
responses that affect your immune
7:42
system, blood pressure, and even
7:44
digestion. But when you start speaking
7:46
to yourself with kindness, compassion,
7:49
and understanding, your brain calms
7:51
down. Healing requires safety, and your
7:54
words help create that safe space inside
7:56
your mind. Replace self-punishment with
7:59
phrases like, "I'm doing my best," or,
8:01
"I love who I'm becoming." Over time,
8:04
this rewires your brain, and your body
8:06
will thank you for it. 10. Allowing rest
8:10
without guilt. We live in a culture that
8:12
worships productivity. But healing
8:14
doesn't happen in hustle. It happens in
8:16
stillness. One of the most revolutionary
8:19
things you can do for your emotional and
8:20
physical health is rest on purpose. That
8:24
means naps, quiet time, saying no to one
8:26
more task, or just sitting in silence
8:28
without feeling bad about it. When you
8:31
rest intentionally, your body switches
8:33
into repair mode, your organs
8:35
rejuvenate, your nervous system resets,
8:38
and most importantly, you send the
8:40
message that you deserve care. You don't
8:43
have to earn rest. Rest is part of your
8:45
healing.
8:47
So, there you have it. 10 powerful
8:49
emotional habits that don't just make
8:50
you feel better, they help you heal.
8:53

8:55
you care for one, you uplift the other.
