PNI Principles of Belief and Self Management.

We can aim to be the best we can be so we can move forward in a healthier and happier way.

PNI is the systematic study of how the mind and body work in unity to enable us to attain optimal health. 

The PNI principles have been summarised throughout this section. 

Principles of PNI Awareness 

• Emotions are taken into consideration when reviewing our physical health and vice versa. 
• The body and mind is a complete communication system, the mind, and body its organs and systems are one.
• To acknowledge that the importance of combining healthcare.
• To gain an understanding of ourselves and our internal environment. 
• To nurture mind, body and spiritual wellness.
• We choose to be supported by others while remaining independent; self-supportive. 
• We stay accountable for the choices that we make.
• The placebo effect substantiates the power of our belief.
• A sign of ineffective thinking is displayed to us through feelings associated with stress.

 Emotional illness is connected to health physiologically.

• Being conscious of our selves and our thinking is a proactive way to be aware of our level of health.
• Thoughts influence our brain and brain releases chemistry that matches our thoughts.
• The more we expand our brains intellectually, the more conscious we become of our needs and the solutions required.
• Despite the advances which have been made in medical science, degenerative diseases and cancer remain a modern-day challenge.
• We can help or harm ourselves by the way we think.

The challenge is, what are we willing to do to support our health.

We can:

• Choose to be supported while remaining independent.
• Remain accountable for the choices that we make.
• Amalgamate our healthcare.
• Attain support that is targeted and tailored to our specific outcomes.
• Build a community of wellness.
• Promote hope, health, and happiness.
• Proactively manage our internal emotional environment, as we deal with the challenges of life. 
• Activate the correct hormonal response so that stress does not accumulate.
• Secure the emotional and physical support that we need. 
• Aim to counteract negative emotions from the body and mind before chronic symptoms emerge.

• When we review what we think we can identify what thoughts we need to change to bring calmness and clarity to our lives.
• The body interprets our mental state, and any form of physical damage or neglect contributes to our emotional state.

Emotional Physical

The emotional aspects of ourselves determine our physical manifestations.

We don't evolve independently of our thinking.  

Stress modulates the activities of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.  

When we change the way we think we change the way we feel.

Q1 Why do we need to care for our physical health?

Q2 Why do we need to care for our emotional health?

Q3 Why should we respect that they are combined?

PNI aims to attain a unified approach to health knowing that the body and mind connected. 

• Whether we choose to raise our awareness regarding how our emotional health is affecting our physical health is a personal choice. Irrespective of this, our physical and emotional selves cannot and do not separate.

• Every emotion has a physical counterpart.
• Every physical ailment has an emotional attachment.
• Emotions live in the body, not just the mind.
• Professional care needs to amalgamate with personal care.
• Changing the way we think changes us biochemically.

Illness doesn't just happen.

• If we combine inadequate nutrition, lack of emotional support, financial challenges, together with lack of hope, control, and purpose in life, we have created within ourselves an environment for illness and disease.

Self Care

• Building our awareness of the options available to us is something we should do when we feel well to ward off sickness. We don't need to be sick to benefit from the range of wellness treatments available to us.

Motivation

• Providing ourselves with good emotional self-management, nutritional wellness, and life-sustaining physical activity requires a level of discipline, education and an ability to be self-supportive.
• We don't need to know precisely how to achieve our outcomes before we start. When we have a desire for positive change, we then activate the desire the learn; this motivates us towards the results that we need.

Healing needs direction

When the principles of PNI have been adopted our thoughts, feelings and emotions are taken into consideration when reviewing our physical health.

Self Management 

Stressful and anxiety accumulate but so do positive calming thoughts, which generate the appropriate chemical response within ourselves.

Positive thinking is not wishing for the change it is a way to generate change proactively. We can guide the mind so we can see and connect with ourselves more clearly. The mind can show us the way forward, but it needs direction.

When we tell the brain what we want it will work out what to do. If we are continually thinking about what we don't want, the mind will move towards that outcome. The mind moves towards what we are thinking; this is why it is important to hold within ourselves the vision of change that we desire.

If we focus on both a negative and positive outcome feelings of confusion will be generated. We need a leading emotion if it is one of fear we become anxious and as we move towards what we are thinking about anxiety accumulates and fear is reinforced. 

To the mind the imagination is real.

Build a vision of success and visualise it often.

PNI practitioners will support us in utilising our internal and external resources, respecting the need for an amalgamation of support for the mind/body.

PNI is an exciting new area of science, enjoy being part of it.
