Sometimes, we want to forget about some things that we did in the past or something someone did to us, which gives us shame and guilt. How would you do that? Things we do not want to remember, pop up at times, just by talking about any particular subject and your memory jumps to it as if you accidentally pressed a wrong key on the computer and another subject matter comes up.
Particularly, if it was something you don’t want to remember about. Something you don’t want to remember in the first place. Especially if it has to do with trauma.
If something happened to you that you did not plan out as you wanted it to, and turned violent, disturbing to you. What do we learn from that? You missed judged your situation, You cannot trust yourself to make good judgments? You live in a world you no longer trust or believe in?
When you are thinking about all this, did you feel pain somewhere? You’re stomached? You started to get a headache, bad breath, your body started to get chills, your heart started to race, or do flips flops. What is your body trying to tell you?
If you are about to give a speech in front of many people, wouldn’t your stomach tell you your nervous? it would feel funny, make noises, that tells you your hungry, maybe, you just need to make a potty stop. Those are just some ideas that we automatically make.
We are familiar with some of the signals we receive from our bodies. What would you do if you received a signal from your body more often than usual? Could say “where is that coming from? It’s on this spot, by the… you just might go to the doctor and give yourself a “peace of mind” check-up.
But you just might be diagnosed with something only the doctor could guess of what it could be. I started taking a new vitamin for my heart and it was affecting my energy, I started to get diarrhea, as well, I stopped eating some foods that I thought were causing the diarrheic effect. I had to try everything I had taken within that week.
Finally, I realized it was a new vitamin that I had started taking, it was too strong, so I cut back and that helped. It turns out that is what it was. Knowing your body is very important. Sometimes, as well-meaning, as your doctor is, he could give you something that will have a long list of side effects, and find out by doing your own investigating is the best.
YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!
- Awareness is the first step to stop trauma blocking and pain.
- Ignoring negative impacts in your life.
- Finding comfort in food – weight gain. Why am I gaining weight?
- Why did I attract Cancer, dietetic, this illness, or that illness?
- Create a wellness plan, where will I start?
- Find a way to stay emotionally healthy (meditation, yoga, exercise, or dance.)
- If you can afford it, get professional help.
- Search for information on the internet, read stories about other survivors.
- First of all, and very important – Join a support group.
- GET HELP!
All this is not going to be easy. You have gotten into some unhealthy habits and it will take time to change for the best and to heal from your body’s disruptive way of managing itself. Please give it time to heal.
You have separated your body parts from feeling altogether. Take your time to listen to your body. If you get a “gut” feeling about something, 85 percent of the time, you are right.
Get to know yourself, and don’t say “this is the way I am” because we can all change ourselves for our higher best. That saying is just for people who don’t want to do anything better for themselves. Of course, you do have a choice, stay sick and tired, or go out and do something productive with your life. Start gardening, ground yourself to the earth, by playing with the dirt itself. You will start the healing process. God bless.
