Don’t Let Your Personality Traits Destroy Your Heart!

All of us have a general personality type that reflects our overall level of daily stress—and how we respond to various situations in life. Your personality type speaks loud and clear about your health. Let’s explore these personality types and the behaviors associated with each one.

You’ve probably heard of a Type A personality. This person is a perfectionist who gets upset easily and always needs to be right. On the other hand, a Type B personality is relaxed and non-competitive.

Then there’s one you might not have heard of—the Type C personality. The people with this personality type are outwardly pleasant, yet they are suppressing their feelings. According to medical literature, a Type C is more prone to developing cancer and heart disease than either Type A or Type B.

Finally, there’s a Type D personality. This person has the unhealthy characteristics of all the other three personality types. These include anxiety, irritability, hopelessness and a lack of self-assurance. No surprise, the Type D personality has the strongest link to high blood pressure, heart disease and other chronic illnesses.

In fact, in a study conducted in the Netherlands, heart patients who scored highest for Type D personality traits on a distress questionnaire were found to have four times more heart attacks and deaths than other heart patients who took the questionnaire.

So it’s obvious from looking at the personality types—stress relief is crucial to reduce the occurrence of heart problems. In a study reported in Circulation, men with heart disease who learned stress reduction techniques were four times less likely to die over a nine-year study period. They also enjoyed a better mood and quality of life.

Have you ever considered what’s stopping you from being stress-free all the time? It really boils down to how you think and feel about everything in your life. For so many people, it’s about negative thoughts… faulty beliefs… and the habit of thinking the worst when circumstances go in an unexpected direction. This keeps stressed-out people from seeing the beauty in their life experiences.

Now closely examine your personality type and how it reflects on your enjoyment of life… and your health. Consider ways to smooth the sharp edges of your personality that injure both your quality of life and your emotional and physical well-being.
