Grief And Physical Pain.

Grief can cause inflammation, extreme fatigue, nausea, headaches, mixed up sleep cycles, dizziness. It makes it extremely difficult to do anything. Grief can alter your heart muscle. form a heart disease with the same symptoms of a heart attack. Grief can make your body awful.

My Father who I took care of 12 years, past away suddenly 8 years ago. I was go griefed I suffered 5 years. Before I could even look at his clothes and personal belongings. They just sat in the corner of a room in boxes that someone had packed for me, because I couldn’t handle even touching his things.

He was the only one who supported me and kept me strong through what I had been through in my life. Without him, I would have ended my life. Taking care of him kept me alive. After he passed I fell into a deep depression. I couldn’t sleep my migraines we’re worse than ever and my stomach pain was immense.

Stress links emotional and physical aspects of grief. The systems in the body that processes physical and Emotional stress overlap and emotional stress can activate the nervous system as easily as physical threats can. When stress becomes chronic, increased adrenaline and blood pressure can contribute to chronic medical conditions. This may be why painkilling drugs from opioids to Tylenol can ease emotional pain. But, it can cause bigger problems than Grief if over used.

Depression is not a normal part of grief, but a complication of it. Depression raises the risk related health complications and often requires treatment to resolve, so it’s important to know how to recognize it’s symptoms.

In ”normal” grief the sad thoughts and feelings occur in waves or bursts followed by low mood. People usually regain self-esteem, a sense of humor, and the capacity to be consoled or distracted from the pain. While people who are depressed struggle with feelings of guilt and worthlessness and a limited ability to experience or anticipate any pleasure or joy.

Complicated grief differs from both depression and normal grief. Complicated grief is persistent, pervasive grief that does not get better naturally. It happened when some of the natural thoughts, feeling, or behaviors that occur during acute grief gain a foothold and interfere with the ability to accept the reality of the loss.

Some people tend to cope with denying what has happened. Thinking they are in another state or on vacation. This grief increases the risks of physical and mental health problems like depression, anxiety, sleet issues, suicidal thoughts and behaviors and physical illness.

The Power Of Trusting Yourself

These wise words feel apt to this time we are living. When we’re able to trust in ourselves to handle anything, it enables us to thrive through everything.

Of course if it were that easy to trust ourselves and be done with it, there’d be far fewer stressed out people and lot more pursuing the dreams and facing challenges with faith not the emotion of fear hanging around us.

With everything going on around us these days it feels like the ground beneath us is uncertain. We have to look within ourselves for the security we seek. We have to trust that within us are the resources we need to handle whatever lies ahead. If we don’t do this one time, braver forevermore. No, rather we should do it again and again-one-day, one day, one hour and sometimes one minute at a time.

It’s only natural to feel anxious or stressed when dealing with so much uncertainty and levels of destruction. If your feeling uncertain right now you are not alone. The entire world is experiencing vulnerability right now.

Trusting your self is not about becoming vulnerable to fear and self-doubt. But reclaiming the power that we surrender to our fears and choosing. Each day to show up from a place of faith. Do not fear self-trust with self-doubt.

Walking the path of faith does have anything to do with religion. It’s matters where you get your faith from. We must have a place to draw our faith from. It is by choice I chose to draw my faith, God. We have to lean into a deeper source of power that lives within us, and around is. It’s about taking the risk, placing a bet on ourselves that is within us all that matters is what’s required to meet the demands of each moment as it arises. Faith doesn’t remove our problems it transforms our relationship to them. In doing so it expands the transmitting of our life.

Self-trust is sometimes seen as heroic. We are each walking our on hero’s journey. Each day we wake up, we have an opportunity to start a new life with self-trust and true heroism required to walk on our own hero’s journey. In our own time.

Day by day choice by choice we have to build self-trust and each day you become braver and braver. Things may tug at your heart at times, but every time to defy your doubts and honors the gifts that have been given to you since birth. Do it to lay your vulnerability on the line for the sake of a noble cause. Look for the light that you seek within yourself. It’s there you just have to look for it.

If ever there was a time to have faith in ourselves it’s now. If ever there was a time to ground ourselves in enoughness it is now. If ever to listen to the whispers in our bodies, it is now, The time to step us to the plate it’s now.

Decide today that you will ground yourselves in Faith not Fear. Ask yourselves?

What would happen today if I trust that whatever happens today I can handle it.

You are made for such a time as this. So breathe in Faith and breathe out fear. There is no place in yourself for fear.

The Mind Body Spirit Connection

What is it? The mind body Spirit Connection is a wonderful thing. Understanding, supporting, and tapping into its power are pillars of healing and manifesting your true desires. They make us who we truly are.

You cannot separate the three. Understanding the unity of the three within each individual being is amazing. It has been part of the healing system for thousands of years. To reinforce the understanding, you mind can help heal your body.

Even when It appears that only the body needs healing, the cause may trace back to the mind or spirit. Therefore healing your mind can heal your body. Mental stress can lead to the cause behind a large amount of diseases.

Next time you feel stressed, notice your physical and emotional systems. You may have sweaty hands, your vision may change, and your heart may be faster. Your mind may be racing, feeling panicked or angry. If you can pray it may help you stay focused. When you feel peaceful and relaxed you can breathe. You may feel connected to your intuition to all that is Devine. You may feel inspired to offer gratitude, praise, to sing and dance.

Consider when you hurt a part of your body or are sick, your whole being I’d affected. When you stub your toe it radiates through your entire body. It may be hard to think of anything else.

What happens when you hear good news? You feel excited, your body may feel supercharged.

A babies entire little bodies move and responds with every emotion and physical sensation.

You have probably heard these expressions. “He was a broken spirit” if your hair ever stood up on your body. Or “I feel it in my soul.” Or I knew it in my gut.” You have experienced the mind body connection.

Before children learn to hide their feelings. You can see their mind-body experience. Shrieking screams, tears, flailing arms, a red face, legs moving around can express their feelings of anger. Sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, laughter, or clapping their hands express their happiness.

Is It Mind Over Body?

In the past experts used to think the mind was another name for brain. They now realize that the mind is in the body. You say you have butterflies in your stomach that describes feeling anxious. Children you have not learned to hide their feelings. Have emotions in their faces, bodies, and their behavior at the same time. We can see watch their emotions change and flow by what their bodies are doing.

Our brain has a powerful influence over our body, there is a lot more to the mind body connection than a master-slave relationship. The once believed mind powers and consciousness belong to the brain is a myth.

Our intelligence goes far beyond the power of our brains. The brain can communicate with our bodies and the body communicates with the brain on a continuous basis.

The cells are like miniature people. They have the same system and receptors as skin. Their environment and community’s act like cells at large. Their environment is affected by nutrients, toxins, and your perceptions. The factors influence how genes express themselves more the DNA. It is a matter of nurture over nature.

Each cell in your body is independent like. Member of a community that makes up your body.

Your heart has thousands of neutrons that communicate with the brain to the vagus nerve and the other way back. Your heart actually as a larger magnetic field that your brain.

Our mind body works in mysterious unpredictable ways. Their are people who experienced an spontaneous healing know healing can and does happen.

It dumbfounds me how God can make our bodies magnetic to heal ourselves. Our bodies are throughly a miracle at work.

Individuals can use different techniques to reach wisdom of the mind, body, spirit connection. These methods vary with skills, the ability of relax and being detached from the outcome and perhaps elements no one is even aware of.

Have you seen demonstrations the people who can twist in all different positions. Have you ever wondered how they can do it and not be in immense pain. Our bodies, minds, and spirits are amazing things. We can control our body systems in ways we never have imagined. Only God knows us in and out. It is miraculous that our bodies can heal itself.

Honesty

Honesty is not about telling the truth. It’s about being real about yourself and others about who you really are. Honesty cuts through deception like hot wax and eats away at the deceit. It leads to a full free life.

We need to have an authentic life if we’re going to be successful at anything in life.

Honesty promotes openness and empowers and enables us to develop a consistent life. It’s how we present the facts in out lives. Honesty sharpens our perception and allows us to observe the things around us with clarity.

The integrity of the upright guides them but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

Proverbs 11:3

Integrity is the practice of being honest and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values. Integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions.

The Tangled Web We Weave

The opposite of honesty is deception or lying. Lying is bad whether you are deceiving yourself or others. When you lie, you delude yourself into believing what your saying. You start digging a hole for yourself that keeps getting bigger and bigger overtime. You confuse yourself, confuse others, lose credibility and put yourself in harms way.

The worst kind of lying we practice is in order to deceive, when we lie to ourselves. We start with Messing around with our concept of morality, as well as our dreams and desires. I have lied to protect my secrets of my past. To make people look at me as a strong person. Believe me your only hurting yourself when you do this.

When you lie and you know it’s wrong your inner core wares and rebels against you. You are mentally committed to doing what you lied about because you have to keep up a front about yourself. It’s not who you really are.

When I looked back on what I lied about I was only trying to excuse what my mother did to me. And misrepresent my own shortcoming for why I was like the way I was. It produces temporary pleasure for me. But in the end I felt worse about myself that before I I had lied.

This discouraging path I was on manifested itself in ways that I couldn’t possibly perceive at the time. It set me back by delaying whatI wanted to do with my life. It took away the ability to take chances that my heart was willing to take.

Despite its temptation, ease of use and false promises, lying gets us nowhere in the end. We tend to stay right where we are because we are trying to keep our lies from being found out. It drags us down even more. Instead of moving forward we end up going backward.

Honesty and seeking truth is ways the path to follow. Honesty gains confidence, faith, empowers are willpower and represents us in the best light possible to see the real us.

Telling the truth when tempted to lie can improve a persons mental and physical health.

Respectable behavior is always carried by honesty. Telling the truth and backing it up with actions will show respect and an esteem for what’s right with ethical and moral integrity. It make you a responsible person.

Success for me is not about money, sales, or the amount of friends I have on Facebook. It’s about character, self-awareness, emotional intelligence and honesty and hard work. How we treat ourselves and others improve or lives and the lives of others.

Honesty is the first a Chapter in the book of wisdom

Thomas Jefferson

Honesty is always genuine. We must lay out our cards on the table and be transparent if we want to have a better life for ourselves

How To Wait

For the majority of us. Patience doesn’t come easily. And when it does come, it’s often fleeting. Th of the time, we rush, we interrupt, we get exasperated when people cut ahead of us in line, we charge things not rather than paying cash later, we curse drivers who impede our progress in the fast lane.

From decisions made in haste to words spoken without reflection, impatience causes a vast amount of pain, waste, and damage.

Fortunately, even if we aren’t born with a great deal of patience, it’s a virtue that even the most agitated among us can develop.

The keys to finding more patience in the marketplace or stuck in traffic- lies in finding new ways of perceiving your predicament.

Start Seeing Differently

Most impatience begins as a reversal feeling of discomfort, your face gets hot, or your stomach feels weird. Then negative thoughts begin rolling in like storm clouds- frustrating thoughts about how something or somebody should be moving faster or doing something differently.

It’s these thoughts that cause problems. Our conscious mind is searching for an object to blame for out initial discomfort, but this only makes things worse, because it’s like pouring kerosene on a fire to put it out.

What works better is to reframe irritating. Circumstances. Find creative ways to see and relate things other then getting mad.

Bypass blame: rather the faulting anyone in particular for the fact that you have to wait or adjust your plans, try entertaining the notion that they delay just is, who knows, it may even turn out to be to your advantage; if not for the wait, perhaps you might have encountered a bigger problem- or accident instead.

Be thankful for small blessings: if you’re stuck in a traffic jam, and you have a cell phone that allows you to call to explain. Your delay to whoever is waiting for you, that’s a blessing. And once you make that call you’re free to embrace more blessings, like the opportunity to listen to some great music while actively strengthening your patience muscles. See if you can sit in traffic without wishing I’ll upon a single driver, even if several of them manage to get their cars into the moving lane before you do. Try radiating goodwill instead.

Write your own history: keeping mind that you are always suffering your own experience. Eventually, the irritating circumstances you are dealing with will be one, and you’ll be left with the choices you made. Do you want to look back on losing your cool or do want to look back on having made an honorable, embarrassment free escape from a bad situation? The choice is yours.

Whenever you feel the burn of impatience, just keep your eyes on the prize of your own equanimity.

Expand your Empathy

Learn to see the complexity of a situation. This means understanding that human beings have complicated lives in a complex universe, all the variables of which can possibly know or appreciate at the moment. Just remembering this fact may allow up to amplify our sense of empathy with others, and soften a little.

Pull Tolerance From Positivity

It’s easier to have patience when we’re awash in good feelings. When we’re newly in love it seems nothing can disturb our sense of well being. When your in a positive way, we seem to take in all in stride.

When we are generally happy, our ability to comfortably tolerate annoyances skyrockets. We can use that dynamic to our advantage.

This doesn’t involve gritting our teeth and bearing reality. On the contrary, it involves actively noticing and cultivating positive feelings. Pay attention to pleasant, everyday sensations and experiences like the pleasure of eating when your hungry, putting on warm socks when your feet are cold, or seeing a beautiful bank of clouds in the so. This is called ”cheerfulness practice, ” and it can do a lot to lengthen our proverbial fuse.

There will always be things that push us to impatience. But practicing with little annoyances shows us we can build a greater capacity for humor and perspective overall. So when the truly big challenges come along, there’s grace. Waiting for you.

I have a difficult time during Christmas. I absolutely dislike shopping at Christmas. The mass of people come out and waiting is difficult. My Pastor gave me some advice and it helped me tremendously, He said:” look how long God waited for you if he waited years for you surely you can wait for others for a few minutes.” Great advice.
