Epigenetics
Epigenetic theory is an emergent theory of development that includes both the genetic origins of behavior and the direct systematic influence that environmental forces have, over time, on the expression of those genes. The theory focuses on the dynamic interaction between these two influences during development.
"Life is 10% what happens to you... 90% how you react to it."
For example:
Stress= Internal and/or external causation.
Stress- Ones state of mind... or ones environment... or both.
Ones behavior/mental state and environment can affect ones stress levels…
ones stress levels can affect ones blood pressure…
a rise in ones blood pressure can lead heart disease...
heart disease is genetically transferable to ones offspring…
therefore… ones state of mind and ones surroundings have a direct impact on ones genetic code.
So… everything you think and do has the ability to not only effect your genetic code…
but also the genetic codes of every living thing in your environment… from this day forward.
