Stresses are like tendrils of sore spots that would have you be as they are point accumulated from our environment. As then there is such a thing as stress burnout from the essence that is your body saying a time out is necessary. After all when we work with such busy lives, and get inundated with so much information and stimuli and deleterious substances from food stuffs and absorbing other peoples drama.
Who is to say whether the mind matter has had enough the and the body matter starts to react accordingly to the vacuums of stress that start with your emotional body first and work your way up to your mind body. And this energy blockage is quite rightly so an indicator that the current life style and choices that are being made are counter intuitive to the way the body and indeed your essential self is meant to be expressed. And of course then stress is a result when you are stubbornly feeling the need to stay in the same behaviour patterns as you feel safest with. And the tension escalates, the crisis mounts until the change manifests.
And so that is the primary issue behind stressful manifestations. The need to recognize that whatever your eating, thinking, ingesting, flowing as a career choice, accepting as a relationship choice are probably out of sync with your mind body and soul.
I should know, I've been there big time.
Change your diet to a healthy diet that consists of wholegrains, vegetables and protein more of and excludes processed sugar and manufactured sugar.
Then change your thinking and emotions by climbing a emotional scale from crawling out of negative thought patterns and embracing positive thought patterns.
Then reconnect with your essential self by meditating, exercising and practicing the art of patience, learning to create accept and read your bodies signs of what is crap for you and what isn't I guess.
Ah stress, would be like the 21st century buzz word.
