Your anger and suppressed grievances are remembered by your body.
90% of physical ailments are related to emotions that are deliberately suppressed.
Many serious illnesses, including cancer, are caused by long-term emotional repression; your illness is something you have literally bottled up inside.
The “People’s Daily” once published an article stating that cancer prefers Type C personalities.
Type C personality refers to those who habitually suppress their emotions, are compliant, and tend to brood.
Type C personality is also known as the “cancer personality.”
Often, the emotions you hide are quietly “killing” you.

On August 18 of this year, Yang Meimei, an anti-cancer blogger from Jiangxi, passed away from lung cancer at the age of 42.
In her videos, Yang Meimei stated that she did not have bad habits like staying up late or smoking, and she maintained a routine of going to bed early, waking up early, and exercising regularly.
The reason she developed cancer was more due to internal factors—
her family was heavily in debt, and she worked tirelessly to pay it off without ever complaining to her husband.
She was busy every day, like a spinning top, and when scolded by her boss, she would only bow her head in apology, never daring to retort.
She always chose to bear the burden silently.
She always chose to suppress her emotions rather than express them.
This is a typical Type C personality, smiling on the outside but kneeling to life on the inside: compliant, sensitive, and enduring emotions…
Many times, you think that the suppressed emotions will gradually dissipate over time.
But in reality, all unexpressed and unacknowledged emotions do not disappear; they will only resurface in more ugly ways in the future.
Your anger and suppressed grievances are remembered by your body.

A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, USA, found that 90% of diseases are related to emotions.
Traditional Chinese medicine also states: anger harms the liver, worry harms the spleen, joy harms the heart, and fear harms the kidneys.
Each type of emotional poison, though colorless and odorless, can permeate the body’s organs.
All diseases in the world are the poison sown by negative emotions.

After traveling through mountains and rivers, we realize that the most precious thing in this world is to take good care of ourselves first.
How can we cultivate our emotions? Here are a few suggestions:
1. Find an outlet for your surging emotions.
You can confide in a close friend, pouring out your grievances and confusion.
You can also find a private corner to cry it out.
Or transform your stress into sweat by running, dancing, or hiking…
Giving emotions an outlet prevents them from overflowing and festering in your chest, allowing your mood to lighten and your days to be more enjoyable.
2. Cultivate a “shameless” mindset.
Feng Tang once said:
“If you don’t want to get cancer, you must let go; you need to be a bit shameless, and your inner strength must be strong enough to be shameless, and your chances of getting cancer will decrease!”
When you can take things lightly and not get entangled or internally conflicted, you will find that life becomes much easier.
3. Never forget to please yourself.
Take your meals seriously; a steaming hot meal can dispel darkness and heal the heart;
Set aside half an hour each day just for yourself to read a book, take a bath, or enjoy a glass of wine;
Cultivate your hobbies, such as dancing, painting, or photography, to make life shine with passion;
Or invite a few friends on the weekend to go outdoors, breathe fresh air, and share the joys and sorrows of life.
One must first love oneself and take care of one’s inner needs before having the capacity to love others.
Always remember, apart from life and death, everything else is trivial.
Life is only once; please make sure to love yourself well.
May all emotions be treated gently.
