In order to be healthy, you need to focus on both your physical and mental health. In each area, you may have <em>malfunctions<\/em> or <em>dysfunctions<\/em> you need to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Malfunctions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Malfunctions are when your \u201cmachine\u201d (your body or brain) is broken:<\/strong> when you\u2019re ill and need a doctor for help. These can be physical problems, such as when you break a bone, or they can be mental problems, such as when your brain chemistry becomes imbalanced and you need medication to address a mental illness. Alcoholism and drug addiction are also malfunctions that you may need professional help to manage. When looking at how to improve your health, this type of issue might be harder to fix.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dysfunctions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dysfunctions are when your machine is functional but you&#8217;re mismanaging it<\/strong> and creating health problems as a result. You can be dysfunctional in either your physical or mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical Dysfunction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at how to improve your health, your physical health is important. Your physical well-being involves your nutrition, weight, and fitness. It\u2019s easy to mismanage these areas because in each of them, <strong>your Chimp and your Human want different things.<\/strong> Your Chimp wants an easy life with little effort and lots of enjoyment, and is reluctant to put off immediate pleasure for the promise of future pleasure\u2014so when, for example, you sign up for a fitness class but don\u2019t bother attending the sessions, it\u2019s because your Chimp has taken over and decided to stay in your comfortable bed rather than get up and go to the gym.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, your Human wants long-term happiness and is willing to forego short-term happiness to get it. Your Human wants to be fit and eat sensibly, and is able to resist the temptation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/immediate-gratification-2\/\">instant gratification<\/a> that prevents those goals. So, for example, when you sign up for that fitness class and attend each session even though they\u2019re scheduled early in the morning, it\u2019s because your Human has taken over and decided that your long-term happiness is more important than the short-term comfort of a late morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best way to empower your Human to drive your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/informed-decision-making-in-healthcare\/\">health decisions<\/a> is to be <\/strong><strong><em>proactive<\/em><\/strong><strong> rather than <\/strong><strong><em>reactive<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Proactive people formulate a plan that allows them to respond to setbacks and distractions. Reactive people instead respond to problems as they arrive\u2014which often leads them to take the path of least resistance and give up. For example, if you want to eat healthier, you\u2019ll be more successful if you proactively stock the refrigerator with carrot sticks to anticipate your midday hunger. You\u2019ll be less successful if you reactively try to hunt for a snack when that midday hunger hits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mental Dysfunction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve discussed already, your brain needs certain things like intellectual stimulation, socialization, laughter, and a purpose in order to feel happy. In addition to these psychological elements, your brain needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Relaxation:<\/strong> This means short periods during the day when you pause and take a breather (often during a project, to give your brain a quick break).<\/li><li><strong>Rest: <\/strong>This means longer periods where you completely unwind (often in the evening, after the day\u2019s work is done).<\/li><li><strong>Sleep: <\/strong>Without adequate sleep, your body starts sending blood to the Chimp areas of your brain and your Human has trouble staying in control. This means that you\u2019re more likely to get angry, upset, or anxious in the face of stress, and are less able to regulate your reactions to other people.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The above advice will help you learn how to improve your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for tips about how to improve your health?
