Have you suppressed and stuffed in emotions that need to be acknowledged and released from your mind and body? Maybe you are fearful of letting those emotions surface because it will cause too much pain to bear; it’ll be too overwhelming and you will loose control.  This is frightening.  It could be like unleashing a beast: crying, screaming, sobbing, throwing things,  or punching holes in the wall.     Pain, chronic Illness or chronic health issues occur if these negative emotions are not released.  We accept what society tells us:  “as you get old, you fall apart and get sick”.  Well you can choose to live healthy and strong.  It takes work and a change in attitude. 

 The negativity of the mind causes separation from self-love, your inner peaceful self, hence Source.  Illness can become a way of thinking because it’s what you focus on.   Overeating can be a way to self comfort.  Extra pounds can be perceived as a protective shield.   Some people have errors in metabolism which can be transmuted and healed.   Often it’s lack of exercise and nutritious eating , again a lack of self-love and self-care.  Because our Western lifestyles are full of stress and running around to go where?    Your mind can be calmed with thoughts of gratitude and living in a healthy body.  But you need to believe you are healthy and work at it.  What and the portions we eat affects our health.  Stress or lack of self-love causes weight gain because the body secretes too much cortisol from the adrenal glands.  Often we don’t enjoy and appreciate our food because we’re not present in the moment.  Your mind is clever and plays tricks on you because of programming.  In the end appreciate your body.  Take care of it,  it’s a gift.  

We have false beliefs about ourselves due to fear, pride, feeling vulnerable or blocked by our stubborn ego or acceptance of imposed wounding by others.  The media dictates how we should look and act.  Just be yourself.  Stop imitating.  It’s not who you are.    Adrenal fatigue is a disease with symptoms of chronic stress that can lead to illness (burnout) that occurs when you have cared for everyone else except yourself. It’s a state of denied self-care and self-love.  I speak from personal experience as I have written in “my story”.
